First "LED-Lightwall" at a hotel conference room
OSRAM Opto Semiconductors equips hotel conference room with LED light
"Put your conference in the right perspective" is the new slogan for the Courtyard Marriott Hotel in Regensburg. The Courtyard Marriott Hotel has yet another attraction. The newly build conference room named as the "Light - powered by OSRAM" room, is now equipped by a so called light wall. This light wall is covering the complete front wall, from left to right hand, from the top to the bottom. 13 m² of active light area in a 56 m² conference room. The RGB LED modules are concealed behind a large translucent foil panel. This allows, depending on the purpose to which the room is being used, multifunctional lighting fo any mood: supporting the basic room lighting from the ceiling by providing additional bright light for higher concentration during a conference, soft calming light, or exciting color sequences and moving flashes to entertain other events. Marriotts corporate clients like also the opportunity to light up the room for a conference by their corporate colors. The wall can be also used as a projection surface for films and presentations. OSRAM Opto Semiconductors completed the project together with the LED Light for you Partner LI-EX (LED Light Design Expert).

Because it is a window free conference room, the hotel management decided to light up this room by an innovative and very special light concept from OSRAM Opto Semiconductors. "Light" is one out of five different conference rooms they can offer.
The background lighting of the panel is provided by linear modules "LI-EX Profile", containing Golden DRAGON LEDs in red, green and blue. They produce colorful light as well as white light at a high level of efficiency. This solution is dimmable, extremely durable at a life time of about 50,000 hours and driving down maintenance cost to almost nothing. The result is long lasting powerful vibrant colors.
Another highlight is the exhibition of three large black & white pictures, showing up the light evolution of the last 100 years, starting with the incandescent bulb, going ahead with solid state lighting High Power Golden DRAGON LED to the next technology step of OLED Lighting, presented by a table lamp "Early Future" as a joint approach of Ingo Maurer and OSRAM Opto Semiconductors.
Perception & Emotion, Creativity & Innovation
"As far as I am concerned, success is always a combination of quality, emotion and innovation. If you are promoting a particular concept you must be excited about it. Only then will your enthusiasm be contagious. Innovation means finding a new way of doing something. In other words, being different from the rest. In this major project involving our two strong regional partners we are certainly making a bold statement in the rather conservative world of conference facilities" said Arne Klehn, General Manager of the Courtyard by Marriott Hotel in Regensburg.
Artur Grösbrink, who acted as project manager for OSRAM Opto Semiconductors throughout the project, is very pleased with the solution: "Our aim was to use semiconductor light as a creative and innovative tool for conference rooms in the hotel sector, and we succeeded brilliantly. The light panel is so magic that it is difficult to take off your eyes" and in addition "Project business is always a brave step towards the starting point of paving the way to a broader market, more applications and further development enhancements."
