Health and Aged Care

Lighting in healthcare is of utmost importance, as it has a significant impact on patient care and the quality of work of medical staff.

First and foremost, proper lighting is important when performing medical procedures and diagnosing illnesses.

Bright, focused lighting is essential to ensure that doctors and nurses can see clearly during procedures and examinations, and to detect any abnormalities in the patient's skin or eyes.

In addition, lighting can have an impact on patient comfort and well-being.

Adequate and adjustable lighting can help create a relaxing and comfortable environment in patient rooms, which can contribute to recovery and emotional well-being.

Adequate lighting in waiting and reception areas can create a welcoming and relaxing environment for patients and their families.

Finally, adequate lighting in medical staff work areas can improve safety and work efficiency.

Adequate lighting in nursing and operating room areas is essential to ensure that medical staff can do their jobs accurately and safely.

Characteristics of this type of illumination

Uniform Illumination:

it must be ensured that light is evenly distributed throughout the facility, thus avoiding areas of shadow or excess light.

Glare-free:

Excessive illumination levels that may cause glare should be avoided, as this can cause visual fatigue and affect the accuracy of medical tests and prognoses.

Adequate color temperature:

the color temperature should be carefully selected to create an environment of warmth and comfort for patients, without compromising the accuracy of color perception.

The ideal color temperature for healthcare is 3000K.

Color rendering index (CRI):

CRI measures the ability of light to reproduce colors accurately and naturally.

In healthcare, a CRI of at least 80 is recommended for good color perception.

Lighting control:

Emergency lighting systems should be incorporated to ensure patient safety in the event of a power failure.
