A considered approach
Hotel bar & lounge lighting
Layer shelf accents, table lamps and discreet task light instead of increasing general brightness. Plan cable management for portable lamps and charging routines for rechargeable fittings. Review reflective bottles, mirrors and polished counters in a mock-up. Staff should be able to select the evening scene without adjusting a complex control panel.
