20 different showsin the heartof New York
Hyatt Times Square Hotel,
New York City, USA
With its bustle and its billboards, Times Squareepitomizes New York City. The Hyatt – which openedin 2013 – is centre stage, right in the heart of the action.
The upscale hotel wanted an entrance which made areal statement and so the design brief was to represent
the glitz of the Big Apple. Yosuke Hiraiwa of Domingo
Gonzalez Associates chose a Philips LED lighting
solution to create a transparent net overhang at
the front of the building.
Hiraiwa has programmed 20 different shows forseasons and events, creating an ever-changing
visual feast in the heart of New York.

It was a new building, andwe wanted to give it a newlook. It's unbelievable
how these brilliant color
changing effects canbe executed with suchminimal effort.”

Aimingfor the
top with
state-of-the-art
controls

Burj Khalifa, Dubai, UAE
Burj Khalifa holds many records – the world’stallest building, fastest elevators, highest
swimming pool and observation deck. Less wellknown, but critically important, are the state-ofthe-art lighting controls in the iconic 828m tower.
The solution had to be highly modular anddistributed to accommodate all interior andexterior lighting. What’s more, it needed theintelligence to support sophisticated programming.
The result? Functional and responsive lighting,entirely in keeping with the building’s luxury image.
The entire building is dimmable, from the entrance
lobby, throughout the Armani Hotel, the residencesand even the lookout platform.

Creating a lighting
control system forthe world’s tallest
building is no small job,
but new and exciting
scenarios become
possible with thisintegrated solution.

Bella Sky Comwell Hotel,
Copenhagen, Denmark
One of the largest hotels in Scandinavia, with 812 rooms,

which wanted to publicize the new venture in style.
Partnering with Comtech, they commissioned a floodlitexterior, with the light output of thousands of lumens andextended light projection. The Philips fixtures illuminate theexterior evenly – but can also flood it with millions of intensely
saturated colors. For the event, the hotel opted for half adozen different hues in a seven-second transition sequence.

Crowne Plaza Hotel
Dubai Festival City, Dubai, United Arab Emirates
With their graceful, curved architecture and vibrant exterior
lighting, the Crowne Plaza Hotel has dominated the skyline ofDubai Festival City since 2007.
The owners requested a solution to strengthen the hotel's iconic

to energy-saving solutions, along with a control system thatenables the hotel to program its exterior lights and display
changing colors. Ideal for the vibrant Dubai Festival.
Indoors, energy-efficient lighting was used to retrofit more than
35,000 existing light points, helping to reduce annual lighting
energy costs by 80%.

The Scarlet Hotel, Cornwall
The Scarlet Hotel offers guests stunning views,
luxurious rooms, top entertainment and tranquil
spa treatments. In short, it’s the perfect getaway.

on the guest experience.
Through Dynalite controls, the hotel minimizes
energy waste by using motion detection sensors
to dim lights when they’re not needed. At thesame time, public areas are brighter and morewelcoming than before, while guest rooms can becustomized to make a stay even more memorable.
Pre-set scenes include ‘ambient’, ‘bright’, ‘relax’,‘bath’, ‘night’, ‘balcony’, and ‘all off’.

proves a winner
The Star, Sydney, Australia
The Star City hotel and casino complex in Darling Harbour, Sydney,
invested in a major, multi-million dollar refurbishment program – fromits façade and public areas to the private guest spaces. The new standout resort, renamed The Star, is a superb example of integrated lighting,designed to change perceptions on a grand scale.
Guests can personalize their experience by using Revolution wall panels
to choose their preferred lighting scene and also easily control the blinds

The restroom
reimagined

Gallery Toto, Narita International Airport, JapanA trip to a restroom is now far more interesting at Narita International Airport inJapan. It's all thanks to a public facility that also functions as a showroom for theJapanese toilet brand TOTO. Designed by Klein Dytham Architects, the seemingly
translucent luminous textiles play prerecorded sequences, featuring activities
such as dancing, skating, or cleaning. While it would appear that restroom-goershave no privacy, the panels keep 10 individual bathroom cubicles completelyhidden from the bustling airport terminal beyond. It’s one of the most interesting
applications of luminous textile we’ve seen to date.

W Hotel, New York. USA
When the luxury W Hotel in Manhattan upgraded its bedrooms, spa and sophisticatedsuites, it turned them into relaxing, private sanctuaries.
To enhance the soothing, nature-inspired décor, New York-based architectural lighting
designers G2J Design concealed over 3,000 linear feet of low-profile 2800K whitelight LED fixtures from Philips. The LEDs illuminate panels which appear as art objects
during the day and operate as light boxes at night.
G2J also concealed fixtures above the bed canopies, within the graphic acrylic art
panels above the headboards and above the minibar to provide task lighting. As afinishing touch, LEDs were also used in the window pockets to highlight the curtains
and fill the room with soft ambient light.

Greater impact,
less energy

Ritz-Carlton Hotel, Berlin, Germany
The Ritz-Carlton in Berlin is a five-star hotel boasting timeless Prussian architecture.
Understandably, the hotel places a high value on creating the right ambience for its guests, so any
new lighting solution needed to be strong on performance. At the same time, it was important toreduce energy costs and CO2 emissions, while minimizing heat and maintenance.
Some 415 chandeliers and 189 wall lamps were fitted, with the LEDs shining more brightly thanthe lights they replaced and making corridors more welcoming. In addition, the long lifetime of
the bulbs – between 150,000 and 200,000 hours – will significantly reduce maintenance costs.
Overall, the new hospitality lighting has cut energy consumption by 75%.

The LED lamps from Philips enable
us to operate in a sustainableway without compromising on
the ambience.
