The Challenge

Grosvenor House – Dubai was seeking a lighting solution that not only complements their architectural and interior design aesthetics but also fits with its ‘green policy.' In addition to providing the desirable lighting levels that maximize guest convenience, the hotel also aimed at reducing carbon emissions and improving all-round sustainability.

The key challenge in the project was to ensure that a diverse selection of LED lighting solutions had to be provided to substitute the halogen lamps.

In all, more than 24,500 halogen lamps were identified in the lighting audit, which had to be upgraded to LED by taking into consideration the unparalleled aesthetics of the property.
