LED lighting for healthcare facilities The entrance to a hospital is a functional space, intended for the reception of patients, and for this, it is necessary to make this area as pleasant and hospitable as possible. This space can be divided into different areas: the atrium, the reception, and the waiting room. Since the corridors and the entrance do not usually have other sources of natural light, studied lighting can not only help define the various spaces but also favor the orientation of the patients. Patient rooms Nowadays hospital rooms are designed down to the last detail, in terms of instruments, sanitary fittings, and lighting. Specifically, the latter must be functional but also flexible, to favor an atmosphere that is as relaxing as possible for patients.

How to choose the right LED recessed spotlight? What are LED recessed spotlights? LED recessed spotlights are luminous fixtures that allow large spaces to be lit evenly and elegantly. They are commonly installed in a false ceiling as a substitute for old incandescent or halogen spotlights. Compared to LED downlights, the LED spotlights emit a more concentrated beam of light and contribute to enhancing light/shadow contrasts. For this reason, they are ideal for accent lighting on paintings and other artistic works. Where to install LED recessed spotlights? A recessed LED spotlight can be installed in any environment: entrances, corridors, walk-in closets and even in the bathroom. In damp areas or where the spotlight may be exposed to water or dust, it is recommended to check the appropriate IP protection.

lumens for each room The kitchen The kitchen is one of the most important rooms in the home where different activities can take place. For this reason, it is important to make sure that you enjoy adequate lighting through lighting points not only over the table but also on the worktops and stoves. Overall we recommend from 2000 to 4000 lumens. The living room The living room can be divided into two areas: the TV space and the dining/dinner area. In the first area, intense light is not necessary, for this reason, we recommend from 1500 to 3000 lumens. Dimmable lighting will help create the right atmosphere for every occasion. The lunch/dinner area instead requires a brighter light, between 3000 and 6000 lumens. Also, in this case, dimmable bulbs can be the most suitable solution. The bathroom The bathroom is the space where you need the greatest amount of light possible, especially when you do usual activities like brushing your teeth, shaving your beard or putting on y...

How to calculate the lumens for each room? Often when buying an LED bulb it can be difficult to choose the amount of lumen needed for the environment where you want to install the new light source.

What is the lumen? The lumen indicates the amount of light emitted by a light source, or in short, measures the brightness of a lamp. This unit of measurement is essential as the lumen and watt (lm / W) ratio allow the energy efficiency of a lamp to be identified. In fact, LED lights are known for their low energy consumption but high light output. These innovative solutions emit the same amount of light as the old lamps but consume much less energy. For example, a halogen lamp with the same characteristics as an LED will have an average energy efficienc...
