LED lighting for healthcare facilities

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.

LED lights in hospitals

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. To this end, we at Lampadadiretta recommend the purchase of dimmable bulbs or wall lamps with adjustable brightness. These, in fact, will allow you to set the desired brightness, based on the various lighting needs.

Surgeries

The clinics perform different functions and can be compared in some ways to an office. It is important to guarantee flicker-free lighting that offers the maximum possible visibility. The UGR value is commonly used to measure the degree of the annoying glare of light sources. For this type of environment, luminaires with a UGR less than 19 are recommended.

Operating rooms

This type of environment requires not only functional but also safe lighting that can positively contribute to the success of the intervention. The operating room can be divided into different areas, with different lighting needs. In principle, LED luminaires with a UGR less than 19 and cold color temperature are recommended, as they will favor an optimal yield of contrasts. Furthermore, LED lighting implies lower maintenance costs and longer life. Click here for more information about LED lights.

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. Depending on the angle of the light beam, recessed spotlights can serve as general or accent lighting. In addition to the light intensity emitted by the spotlight, various ...

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. In this blog, you can get an indication of the number of lumens recommended for each room in the house and acquire some basic notions of lighting that will help you to orient yourself towards the choice that best suits your needs. 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...
