Quick answer
State the model and options, mounting, light distribution, colour, driver and controls, destination-market electrical requirements, finish sample and service parts in one coordinated schedule.
What to include in a hotel wall light specification is the information needed to identify one buildable, testable and serviceable assembly. State the model or performance basis, exact options, mounting method, supply, driver, controls, optical result, colour, finish and destination-market requirements. Then state what evidence and sample will be accepted. A vague phrase such as “hotel-grade LED wall light” leaves too many choices to the installer or supplier. The specification should connect the visible design to the electrical and maintenance details in the room drawings.
Identify the ordered configuration
Give each luminaire a schedule code and full model/option reference. Include shade or optic, finish, light-source choice, colour temperature and any switch or USB module. State whether the driver, lamp, bracket, backbox and fixing kit are included or separately supplied. A photograph of one option cannot stand in for a complete order string.
Use a dimensioned manufacturer drawing for overall size, projection, fixing points and required cavity. If the assembly is recessed, request a confirmed cut-out and installation depth. MD-WL-Y135 has a documented 3 W adjustable head and 30° beam, but its exact cut-out remains unverified in the fact pack; the project specification should keep that item open until a signed drawing is received. Do not turn the external size into a shop-cut instruction.
Specify the result to be reviewed
Describe the intended task and viewing positions: ambient wall glow, page reading, bedside orientation or another use. Ask for complete-luminaire data for the chosen optic when the project has a measurable light target. State the room mock-up test and where the light should fall. Include source visibility and spill toward the neighboring pillow as acceptance observations, because an input-wattage number does not prove visual comfort.
Record the approved CCT option, colour tolerance or physical reference, and finish sample. Two fittings with the same nominal warm-white value may still look different together. If a custom finish is used, define the sample and allowable variation before a production lot is ordered. The SDCM and hotel colour guide explains why a single Kelvin value is insufficient.
Define controls and electrical evidence
Name the input supply, driver type, dimming interface if any, local switch action and room-controller relationship. Show behavior under master-off and power restoration in a control matrix. Do not assume that a USB port follows the same switch. The destination-market electrical designer must confirm the circuit, protection, earthing and applicable requirements. Request the actual documentation for the ordered configuration and market; do not copy a certification mark from a similar catalogue product.
For a bedside fitting, test switch reach and charging-cable clearance with pillows and nightstand in place. The contractor should know which drawing governs the cable route and where connections remain accessible. The electrical-plan coordination guide helps align the disciplines.
Include service and acceptance
State how a driver, light source or complete fitting is removed, and which replacement parts the operator will stock. Ask for cleaning instructions suitable for the finish and shade. LED package lifetime is not a whole-luminaire warranty or a guarantee that the driver and finish will last as long. Record the approved room sample, drawing revision, first-article inspection and substitution process. A specification is complete when the receiving team can verify that the delivered assembly matches the approved one, not when the schedule merely names an attractive lamp.
