They have them. They just don’t let *you* stay in those rooms. Something about all those reports of you swinging on them, or something…

Probably to keep people from hanging themselves.

The hotel I work at has light fixtures in every room.
Maybe it has to do with the ambience of the room?

it is easier for them to replace a lamp , and less of a hassle with building codes when under construction, it’s more cost effective to plug in a lamp than to have an electrician come and wire the entire facility.. it’s all about the $$$$.. no structural reason what so ever

they probably are trying to save money on electric costs. i believe lamps use less energy than florescent lighting.

It makes it easier for the hotel to modernize the decor.
All they need to do with lamps is unplug them and toss them in the dumpster and then plug in a new one. If it was a ceiling light they would need an electrician to take it down and disconnect the wires and then would need to buy an expensive replacement for the electrician to put up.

think it is cheaper to run lamps

It’s probably easier to run the wiring through the walls. Most hotel rooms are mirror images to the ones next to them, i.e. beds, lamps TVs back to back.

I second its all about $$$$.

the electrician always charges to much to wire up the hotel so the owners choose to leave the lighting to a minimum and buy bedside lamps to save some money to buy extra hotel soaps and shampoos everyone keeps stealing.
if we all stop stealing from hotel rooms them the effects will flow on and new hotels being built will be able to place lights in the ceilings

If you look at a hotel during construction, it’s like concrete boxes that are stacked one on top of the other and side by side. Because each concrete "box" is stacked, there’s no room in the ceiling to put wiring or fixture boxes for lighting.
All of the wiring and plumbing is located in channels located in the walls between the "boxes". It’s cost effective as well as labor efficient.

Ceiling lights are invasive and bright. People who design hotel rooms or home rooms know that indirect lighting creates ambience and comfort. It has nothing to do with structure. I have built many homes and would never consider an overhead light in a room including the kitchen. A few well placed spots in certain rooms but overall only lamps that have the ability to create a mood evoking comfort.

Are you serious? Do you really think LIGHTING has anything to do with anything STRUCTURAL?! Come on now!
