Casino puts odds on LEDs

Most of us think only a little about how light affects our environment. If we do, we simply switch on a light here or there and change bulbs occasionally as needed. The designers of the ilani casino, however, took this process several steps further. They faced highly complex interior lighting issues covering thousands of square feet of gaming areas, restaurants, lounges, bars, retail space and a large meeting room. “We wanted a first-class facility that mixed outside light coming in the windows with the internal lighting to make its tone as close to natural as possible for our guests,” said Kara Fox-LaRose, president and general manager of the casino. Illumination from LEDs approaches natural light tones.
