An optimal experience for guests

Lighting is not only functional. It also provides atmosphere, comfort and safety. The hotel industry is all about experience. From the first impression upon entering to the ultimate relaxation in the hotel room. Our systems ensure that the guest's experience is optimised.

Lighting control in central areas

In central areas such as lobbies, restaurants, meeting rooms and spas, the Helvar Imagine system is often used. This is the perfect solution with smart functionalities that ensure comfort, efficiency and flexibility.

  • Reliable Wired solution - stable and interference-free operation, ideal for large rooms
  • Comprehensive Integration possibilities - seamless connection to building management systems (BMS), AV systems and hotel systems
  • Central Operation - easy management and adjustment of lighting via touch screens
  • Smart Time controls - automatic lighting scenes based on time and room usage

Helvar Imagine effortlessly creates the right atmosphere in any room and optimises energy consumption. Perfect for hotels striving for a premium experience and maximum efficiency.

Case study: Notiz Hotel, Leeuwarden

In the hotel rooms, the Helvar system controls lighting and curtains. A link to the card-reading system ensures that the welcome scene is started as soon as you insert the pass into the card reader.

The system is integrated in the hotel rooms with Hoteza, an app for 'in-room entertainment'. From the app, guests can play music, control the TV and order room service, among other things. In addition, guests have the option to control lighting and curtains via the app. Through pre-programmed scenes, guests can adjust the atmosphere completely to their liking.

Lighting control in hotel rooms

Helvar offers two flexible solutions for controlling lighting in hotel rooms:

1. Cost-efficient wireless solution

For hotels looking for a simple, cost-effective solution, ActiveAhead is the perfect choice. This wireless system works with the 5609 control and relays for switchable lighting and can easily be expanded with dimmers, Tunable White (TW), additional sensors and inputs.

It is scalable and can be linked to the lighting management system of the rest of the building, including central areas. ActiveAhead is the ideal solution for budget and mid-range hotels that want to deploy smart technology without large investments.

2. High-end with maximum functionality

For luxury hotels that want to offer maximum control and experience, Imagine is the right choice. This system offers touchscreen controls, advanced lighting scenes based on time and presence, and API interfacing with hotel systems.

It is perfect for managing both hotel rooms and central areas, such as lobbies, meeting rooms and restaurants. Guests enjoy ultimate comfort and hotel managers benefit from energy savings and seamless integration with other systems.
