In 2026, reception lighting is not just about 'on/off'. It is a complex scenario changing every minute depending on the time of day, weather, and even guest mood. Lighting control systems allow for creating a cinematic atmosphere where every beam is directed exactly where it is needed now. We examine the technical basis of 'smart light' and show how automation saves resources and creates the magic of welcoming.
Protocols of the Future: DALI-2 vs KNX
We use professional DALI-2 protocols for individual light bulb management. This allows for smooth dimming down to 0.1%, creating flickering-free soft transitions. Integration with the building's general KNX system allows for uniting reception light with climate and security. Your desk 'breathes' in unison with the entire building, automatically adjusting to outdoor light (Constant Light Control).
Circadian Lighting (Human Centric Lighting)
Biological Rhythm
Light directly affects hormonal balance. In the morning, the system delivers invigorating cold light (6500K) to help staff wake up. By evening, the spectrum smoothly shifts to warm amber (2200K), preparing guests for rest. This reduces administrator fatigue and creates a sense of home comfort for arriving travelers.
