What are the important considerations for installing lighting in hotel outbuildings?
If your hotel has any buildings in the grounds, that are detached from the main property, these are often called outbuildings. These can include summer houses and yurts that are often highly desirable for clients and guests. Installing lighting in these garden buildings, or even updating the existing lighting, can be a very effective option when updating your facilities and providing additional value for your guests. However, there are several important factors to bear in mind. These include:
- Regulations and safety
- The lighting style
- Lighting positioning
Regulations and safety for hotel outbuilding lighting
For any electrical work in your hotel it is essential to hire a professional and qualified electrician that you can trust. For hotel outbuildings, this is no different. And there are several important regulations and guidelines that will determine what can be installed in your exterior buildings, which a professional electrical team can identify and work within to ensure that your electrical installation is safe and legal.
The lighting style for hotel outbuildings
Once the practical and legal considerations have been taken into account you can then consider the visual design of the lighting in your outbuildings. You can opt for light fixtures and fittings that complement the interior design and help to emphasise

Finally, you will need to determine the best possible installation locations for your lighting. This will mean deciding on traditional style downlighting or wall lighting and accent lighting to create the right visual impact in your space. A professional electrical team can help inform you of the different options and help with the lighting design phase, as well as the actual installation.
