LED Strip for Hotels, Restaurants and Leisure Facilities
COB, neon flex and RGB strip for hotels, restaurants and spas: CRI 95 warm dimming, IP67 for wet areas, project bin records and 5-year supply continuity.
Hospitality projects need warm, dimmable light that survives cleaning chemicals and stays repairable for a decade. HFY LED supplies CRI 95 COB strip in 2700 K and 2400 K, warm-dim drivers that shift to 1800 K at low output, and IP67 neon flex for spa and pool areas, with the bin record held per project so refurbishment reels match the original.
Scope of supply in this sector
We supply to hotel owners, interior contractors and lighting designers. We do not supply decorative luminaires or manage on-site commissioning. Projects specifying a proprietary control system are quoted with the driver protocol matched to that system rather than with our own controller.

Quality risks specific to this sector
These are the failure modes we see most often in this industry. They are listed because knowing them before design review is cheaper than discovering them at first article.
- Cleaning crews using chlorine-based products on silicone neon rated IP67 — the rating covers water, not chemistry, and the profile hazes within a year
- Warm-dim drivers specified without checking the dimming curve, so the light shifts green instead of amber at low output
- No spare reels held on site: a single failed 2 m section can take a room out of service for weeks if the bin is discontinued
Compliance and capability questions
Can you match strip for a refurbishment five years later?
Often, because we retain lot and bin records for five years. Send the original reel label or the project purchase order, and we confirm whether the bin is still in production. If it is not, we quote the nearest bin with the measured Δuv so the designer can decide.
What is warm dimming and do I need it?
Warm dimming shifts colour temperature down as brightness falls, from 2700 K at full output to about 1800 K at 5%. It is the difference between a restaurant that feels like a candlelit room and one that feels like a dimmed office, and it costs 15–20% more for the driver.
How much strip should a hotel hold as spares?
Two percent of installed length per colour and bin, held on site in a dry store. That is enough to cover failures through the first five years without a production run, and it costs far less than expediting a 100 m reel for a single room.
Industries we also supply
Architectural Lighting
Architectural lighting specifications turn on colour consistency, dimming behaviour and serviceability rather than on price per metre. HFY LED supplies COB and high-CRI SMD strips at SDCM ≤ 3 with CRI 90–95, in 24 V runs up to 10 m from one feed and 50 m reels, and holds a bin record per project so replacement strip matches the installed installation years later..
View sectorSignage & Lightboxes
Signage lighting is judged on uniformity and service life, because a sign that goes patchy is a visible brand problem. HFY LED supplies side-emitting and zigzag strips plus backlight modules for boxes from 60 mm to 300 mm deep, validates each layout in a physical test box to ≥ 85% edge-to-centre uniformity, and seals outdoor builds to IP65 with a 30-minute spray test..
View sectorRetail & Display
Retail lighting has to render merchandise accurately and disappear into the fixture. HFY LED supplies CRI 95 COB strip at SDCM ≤ 2 for shelving and display cases, in 8 mm and 10 mm widths that fit inside 15 mm aluminium profiles, with 0–100% dimming through DALI, 0–10 V or phase-cut drivers..
