use of LED lighting.
The use of LED lighting was based on its durability that
can survive the roughest conditions. Because LED lights are
resilient to shock and vibrations, they make great outdoor
lighting systems for rough conditions and exposure to weather

WARMTH AND COMFORT TO PASSENGERS
The application of LEDs in this project enriched the
designing experience tremendously. This vIP private jets lounge

colours used give warmth and comfortable sense that was
enhanced by the use of LED light. The LED colour used, which
is light yellow, enhanced this lavish experience.
The choice of using the LED lights was based on its size
and efficiency. LEDs measure from 3 to 8 mm long and can be
used singly or as part of an array. The small size and low proile
of LEDs allow them to be used in spaces that are too small for
other light bulbs, which was the case in this project. In addition,
because LEDs give off light in a speciic direction, they are
more efficient in application than incandescent and luorescent 4
bulbs, which waste energy by emitting light in all directions.
