Australia - For almost 15 years, Crown Towers has been leading the way for luxury accommodation in Melbourne. Located on the southern side of the Yarra River, the hotel serves the casino and the Crown entertainment complex.
In order to maintain its reputation in hotel luxury, Crown Towers recently underwent a refurbishment of all suites in the luxurious 28-storey hotel. The design of the new layout included new carpet, new furniture, new light fixtures and changing the old switching and pot dimmers to a dimming control system.
After a competitive and extensive testing process, Lightmoves was selected to supply and commission the Australian-made Dynalite lighting control system for the entire hotel.
The DDMC802 multi-purpose controller was also a major reason that Dynalite was specified for the project, due to its versatility. The controller allows the flexibility of running relay control, ballast control, incandescent, dimmable fluorescent, switched fluorescent and dimmed LED control all from the one controller. The entire hotel is networked, which means that each room can be individually controlled from a front-end controller.
Of the 449 rooms in the complex, 242 of them received a complete full refurbishment, with the design including some feature enhancing LED lighting. Lightmoves supplied the custom-made 3000k warm-white LED chains from Tridonic Atco, that were used to light the bed-heads, underneath the bedside tables, around the bathroom mirrors and in the bathroom alcove - where they were used in lieu of fluorescent lighting.
