Dusit International’s flagship property in the Middle East, Dusit Thani Dubai has recently revamped the lighting in all its three ballrooms. These newly refitted spaces now have state of the art lighting to offer the perfect ambience to suit every type of event for its prestigious clientele.
 
“Originally the project was executed by Polaron Gulf, which I headed before I launched Creation. Recently, Dusit Thani’s Engineering division approached us for an upgradation of their Ballrooms & Pre-Function area and we offered a complete turnkey solution including design, supply, installation, testing and commissioning of Lighting & Lighting Control System” explains Mr. Dharmendra Patel.

The downlights came from reputed manufacturers like Lamp83 and Illuma whereas lamps were selected from Segula. All the lights are maintained at a colour temperature of 2700K to match the ambience previously created by traditional incandescent and halogen lamps.

Furthermore, the hotel wished to create some dynamic effects for special events. For this, RGBW coves were created to either facilitate colour play or stick to traditional monochromatic coves. Control system from the eDIN range of Mode Lighting UK was installed, which is purpose-built to be used with LED fixtures, and also allows interfacing with the hotel’s Wi-Fi allowing operators to control the ambience of the ballroom and special effects required by every client to curate an optimum lighting experience. The system is also connected to partition switches allowing the system to function differently depending on which partitions between ballrooms are open or closed.

Since the ballrooms were operational, there was only a small window available within which the supply, installation, testing, and commissioning of the light fixtures had to be completed. “We had to schedule our activities around the events ensuring sufficient and suitable lighting in the ballrooms where events were held, while work continues unhindered in other areas to avoid delays. This is where Creation’s Project Management skills score the point” explains Mr. Patel.
