A considered approach
What to test in a hotel mock-up room
Invite operations and housekeeping as well as the design team. Check whether fittings can be cleaned, drivers accessed and lamps replaced. Record the approved product configuration and control settings with photographs and a snag list. Any later substitution should be checked against that reference, particularly when it changes beam spread, colour or the behaviour at low dimming levels.
What matters here
- 01
Lie on the bed and check glare
- 02
Test every switch and dimming scene
- 03
Review mirrors, wardrobe interiors and night routes
What to include in your brief
Prepare the exact furniture, finishes, controls and proposed fittings for the test.
