GE Lighting identifies key 2014 hospitality lighting trends

With China’s rapid economic development and urbanisation, many of its major cities are now bustling business and tourism centres for Asia. This has led to an unprecedented boom in the hospitality sector with elegant and luxurious hotels being built to offer a total, top-rate guest experience. At a time of heightened global and national awareness on wider environmental protection, this presents lighting solution providers like global leader GE Lighting with a valuable opportunity to work with the hospitality industry in raising energy efficiency to reduce environmental impact.

Energy reports from China’s national authorities show that in 2010, lighting alone accounts for up to 20 percent of total power consumption at hotels. For hoteliers, this is a powerful financial incentive and a good starting point when contemplating changes that might benefit both their guests and the bottom line. Against this backdrop, it is timely to take a look together with GE Lighting at the key directions that hospitality lighting is heading towards in 2014.
