Lighting for Hotels and the hospitality sectors.

Bedside lights for hotels.

Fixing lights to the wall is often better than using a free standing bedside table lamp. The key thing here is to leave space on the bedside cabinets, for the paraphernalia needed during the night. When you’re younger you may just have a mobile phone, I know many will think what else do you need! Let me explain what else may be required as you get older- a book maybe, well that will mean you'll need glasses no doubt. Oh a glass of water, pills and potions. From a hoteliers point of view mounting lights on the wall limits damage too, no risk of toppling over a lamp if it's secured to the wall.

Space is gained from on the bedside cabinets when lights are mounted on the bed head wall good leaving space for the guests use. The guest experience should be paramount. Often hotel bedroom bedside lights are dual switched, so you can have a soft ambient light for snuggling up, romance or watching TV. While a smaller moveable light can be used as a reading light. Often the smaller reading light is LED which is cool to the touch.

LED lighting not only saves money on the running costs but it avoids the risks of burning your hands on a hot bulb when you are feeling sleepy. 

Boutique hotels may prefer a clever twist and have hanging pendant lights, this is a visual treat but not as practical as bedside wall lights. When wall lights remain fixed, you are less likely to bash them, but pendants are a good alternative, if this option is used opt for metal or acrylic pendants.
