Safety at any altitude

Hotel Alpenstern

The Alpenstern Hotel in Damüls in the Bregenz forest is located at an altitude of 1600 m – this means increased requirements for emergency and safety lighting. Our SHAPE outdoor light with IP65 protection is suitable for temperatures from -20 to +40 degrees and therefore also for ski resorts at higher altitudes. They illuminate the side exits and thus the safe escape route in the outdoor area. Our black spotlights at the main entrance round off the overall picture and discreetly illuminate the entrance.

The STRING escape sign luminaires in the interior are ideal for timber construction thanks to the plain glass frame. The wire suspension and the wood-clad housing additionally round off the overall appearance and ensure discrete integration of the luminaire into the building.

IF THE ESCAPE TUNNEL IS NOT PASSABLE

Due to the special slope of the building, a special fire protection concept was necessary. The escape staircase does not lead directly into the open air, but first through a tunnel, making additional protective measures necessary. A safe and standard-compliant solution was developed in close cooperation with the fire protection office.

Our FSU luminaire with barrier cross function makes it possible to temporarily bar the escape route via the tunnel to ensure escape via the restaurant. The flashing function of the escape sign luminaire draws additional attention. This dynamic FSU system is controlled via the fire alarm system and in the event of a hazardous situation in the escape tunnel, the rescue signs indicate the barred escape route.

Some of the products we used

Lights diversity for every requirement.

Unobtrusive recessed spotlight

EyE

The EyE is an almost invisible recessed spotlight that efficiently illuminates escape and rescue routes despite its small size. This means that the emergency lighting disappears almost completely from the ceiling appearance.

Outdoor luminaire for escape routes

SHAPE

The SHAPE is a high-quality outdoor luminaire made of V4A stainless steel with IP65 protection that optimally illuminates the escape route. To match your building even better, it is available in many RAL colours.
