Pillows Grand Hotel Reylof

The renovated 'Pillows Grand Hotel' is located in a listed building a stone's throw from the historic centre of Ghent. The Louis XIV-style mansion accommodates tourists from all over the world, as well as business people using the meeting rooms or 'salons'.

Helvar equipped the hotel with lighting control. The lighting control includes several pre-programmed 'loops' that, based on the built-in astronomical clock and calendar function, automatically blend into each other. Thus, a pleasant yet functional atmosphere is evoked in the restaurant at breakfast; later in the evening, the direct lighting is dimmed and the indirect lighting starts to light up a little more.

In addition to the DALI lighting, design luminaires are also included in the system. Hanging above the bar are old luminaires that have been 'refurbished' to completely match the hotel's style. These luminaires can be switched via a DALI relay so that all the functionalities of the system can also be applied to these luminaires.

In the 'conference room', a touchscreen has been installed that allows one to control the lighting, in addition to the beamer. Various pre-programmed scenes can be called up: general lighting / cleaning / meeting / presentation / mood lighting.

If required, the different zones, from the 'Grand Saloon' to the entrance hall, can also be manually overridden
