Lighting Control

• Lighting control encompasses everything from basic energy

savings to creating a memorable guest experience

• Include an all "On/Off" Master Light Switch to ensure that lights

are always off in unoccupied rooms. The Master light switch
automatically turns off lighting in unoccupied rooms without ever
inconveniencing the guest

• Provide a visual interface (custom wall-mounted panels or touch

screens tablet) and mood or lighting scene experience (focused task
lighting, ambient mood lighting) – to be coordinated with interior
designer and lighting consultant

Lighting Control

• Most lighting in the room will be dimmable and part of the scene
program.
• Automatic nightlights and entry welcome lights guide guests in a
darkened room, while multi-point control makes it easy for guests
to adjust lighting from virtually anywhere in the
Guestroom/Residence.
• Provide nightlight in bathrooms to provide a low-level light source
for guest convenience and safety. The nightlight is an independent
switch, from the bedside and in the bathroom allowing control of
the integrated nightlight separate from the main bathroom lights.
The night light switch will illuminate when the night light is OFF
and vice versa.
• Require Smart phone, tabletop or wall mounted consoles that allow
multi-point control of Guestroom/Residence lights and other in-
room components. They offer configurable functionality,
permitting a tailored light map for each unique
Guestroom/Residence as approved by the Six Senses, as well as the
ability to control climate, drapes and other devices.
• Occupancy Sensor will be mounted on the ceiling to communicate
with the Sensor modules.
