    Arrival and departure halls

     

    Arrival and departure halls can be the busiest parts of your airport. Passengers need to orientate themselves in unfamiliar, and often chaotic, surroundings. Good lighting can guide them effortlessly to their destination and therefore the departure environment should be comfortable and calm, easing the burden of waiting, especially in the case of delays.

    Check-in and information desks

     

    The better the light quality, the easier it is for staff to interact with passengers and check their passports and documentation. It makes the experience less taxing and more time efficient. So the waiting line goes more smoothly and everyone stays calm and collected.

    Connection areas and travelators

     

    For an airport, which is often open 24 hours a day, connection areas and travelators are the arteries of the airport. They link the different areas together logistically.

     

    Make your airport easy to navigate with clear routes that guide passengers effortlessly from A to B. Lower light levels create a sense of tranquillity in busy connection areas. Brighter ambiances can heighten the feeling of efficiency and speed on travolators.

    Customs and passport control

     

    Security is paramount to the safe operation of your airport, not to mention its reputation. Visitors expect their documents to be checked quickly and efficiently with the minimum of hassle. At the same time, custom staff must appear authoritative and professional. The right lighting can aid their concentration and improve facial recognition at customs and passport control, increasing throughput and making the whole process more efficient and secure.

    Security check areas

     

    As concerns about airport security intensify, passengers are investigated more than ever before. Body checks and scans must be conducted in a dignified way that ensures passengers feel respected and the actions of staff are beyond question. Lighting provides the clarity that your security check needs to stay vigilant and keep everyone safe.

    Baggage claim area

     

    A typical baggage claim area contains baggage carousels or conveyor systems that deliver checked baggage to the passenger. Waiting to be reunited with your bagage after a flight can be an anxious time for passengers.

     

    A natural lighting solution that mimics daylight will enhance guidance and comfort for the traveler to quickly find the right baggage carrousel and collect its bagage as fast as possible.

    Air traffic control

     

    Air traffic controllers are the heart of your airport and essential for its safe operation. To keep airplanes flying safely and on time, they need to guide pilots with precision accuracy, 24 hours a day. Mistakes are not an option. The challenge is to provide exactly the right ambiance to aid concentration and make interpreting complex instrumentation as easy as possible – whatever the time of day or night.

    Retail and leisure area

     

    Create customized lighting designs that attract travelers and keep them engaged while they are in the terminal. Targeted, engaging experiences stimulate shoppers, highlight key locations throughout the area, guide visitors, and encourage exploration.

    Offices and conference rooms

     

    Offices and conference rooms have changed over the years. Once single-use spaces, offices are now often multi-use facilities that depend on the availability of sophisticated and dynamic resources — especially lighting. Organizations must work harder than ever to support many different activities and many different types of workers.

    Facades and architecture

     

    LED lighting offers unprecedented design freedom in terms of color, dynamics, miniaturization, architectural integration and energy efficiency – opening up new possibilities in brand building and ambience creation, for instance by dynamically changing the lighting, using various highlighting and color effects. Architectural facade lighting can effectively turn your airport into a prominent landmark, a living symbol of hospitality.
