Hotels and restaurants

Nowadays, hotels are redefining their concepts to offer ever more memorable experiences, well beyond traditional hospitality services. We support them with aesthetic and adaptable emergency lighting solutions that reflect their brand identity and align with their operational needs.

Tailored installations for unique spaces

With its contemporary design, Le Mondrian Hotel (Bordeaux Les Carmes) required solutions that combined aesthetics with performance. Our architectural emergency lighting met this need perfectly. Elegant and high-tech, the luminaires comply with European safety standards while integrating discreetly into the space.

Hotels and restaurants are subject to strict regulations. We help each establishment meet safety requirements without compromising architectural harmony. Our systems are available in all technologies to fit seamlessly into each zone.

Maintenance regulations (NF C 71-830) are simplified through our DICUBE SMART SYSTEM, an addressable solution that automates testing, generates monthly reports, and optimises on-site interventions, as implemented at the Centre Val de Fleurs Hotel. To support a sustainable approach, only defective components are replaced.

In France, according to the June 25, 1980 decree, hotels fall under ERP type O, and restaurants under type N. These public-access buildings must meet strict safety lighting standards, with specific requirements for hotels due to the presence of sleeping quarters, and for restaurants because of their high occupancy and exit route layouts.

Emergency evacuation luminaires must be installed to mark exits in hallways, lobbies, and stairwells. These may include self-testing emergency units, addressable units, or LSC (central source) models. In areas adjacent to sleeping rooms, dual-function units are highly recommended to provide adequate, discreet lighting during power outages.

Units should be placed in all escape routes, including corridors, staircases, lobbies, and any areas accessible to the public. In hotel zones adjacent to bedrooms, residential emergency luminaire (BAEH) or dual-function units are required to comply with French standards.

According to Article O 30 of the ERP safety regulations, emergency lighting is not always mandatory inside hotel rooms. However, it may be required if the room lies directly along an escape path (e.g. with direct access to an exit), or if there is insufficient natural light to safely guide occupants in the event of a power failure.

Hotels and restaurants are subject to ERP regulations, as defined by the June 25, 1980 decree. Safety luminaires must comply with NF EN 60598-2-22 for electrical requirements, and with NF C 71-820 for self-testing emergency systems installed on-site.
