What is a LED Tube Light?

Lighting systems in interior design provide one of the highest visual impacts upon entering a space. In the same way that colour impacts the senses and has the ability to create a mental and physical reaction, lighting sets the tone and atmosphere of a space.

Perhaps nowhere more so than in public bars and restaurants. A mood is expected from these spaces, with atmosphere highly impacting on the experience of the space.

One recent interior design development, the Whisky Mist Beirut, located in Beirut at the InterContinental Phoenicia hotel has taken this design principle on board and created a striking, high impact lighting experience for its exclusive clientele.

A custom created ceiling LED lighting system has been created by A.C Special Projects Ltd (ACSP), which has included over 100sqm of Chroma Q Colour Web 250 LED panels in addition to 165 metres of RGB LED strip and 90 metres of warm white LED strip  which all combine with a complete integrated technology control system

The end result is a sight to see. The ceiling of the space almost imitates the night sky, speckled with the colour changing lights, morphing from a soft relaxing blue in key socialising areas, to the vibrant white at the entries, exits and amenities.

However, cleverly, different sections of the LED system have colour changing abilities to sway the atmosphere of the space according to the client's needs.

In fact, the clever lighting system has the ability to change the actual function of the space, with the inclusion of 40 Chroma-Q LED strobe lights the space can be changed from a laid back chic bar to a high energy club scene. This goes so far as to changing the wallpaper, creating the 'liquid wallpaper' moniker due to the graphics and lighting effects that can be splayed across the venue's walls.

In terms of interior furnishings, the designers have included chic black leather curving booth couches and dark rust affected walls; the space cleverly designed to add a subtle style that doesn't take away from the overall effects of the lighting system.

It cannot be attested to enough, but the power of lighting solutions are extreme in their high impact effect on interiors. Clever designs like this one, can create multi-functional spaces that are ever changing and evolving at an overall cost, both operation and construction, that is a fraction of conventional designs. Having a changing and flexible lighting system allows for constant updates with almost zero design limitations at the switch of a button and the use of LED lights drastically cuts running costs.
