Healthcare lighting refers to the specific lighting requirements and applications within healthcare environments such as hospitals, clinics, nursing homes, and other medical facilities. It involves the use of lighting technologies and designs that are tailored to support the unique needs of healthcare professionals, patients, and visitors. Lighting designers and professionals work closely with healthcare providers to create lighting solutions that enhance patient care, support staff efficiency, and contribute to a safe and comfortable healing environment.

Benefits of healthcare lighting

• Function and wellbeing: always the perfect lighting for treatment and patient areas
• LED healthcare lighting delivers long-life, smart, cost-efficient solutions
• Harmonious lighting improves visibility and orientation
• Meeting patients’ high expectations is a tall challenge, between staff shortages, inefficient flows, and shrinking budgets and resources. Creating welcoming environments from the parking lot to the surgical suite is an important design factor

required in specialized medical spaces. These products provide high performance, and a simple, clean, and elegant appearance that will enhance the visual experience of patients in a facility, making it the preferred lighting choice for medical spaces.

The patient room is considered one of the most critical areas of a healthcare facility. Patients will typically spend several days in these rooms and it is important to provide lighting that meets the needs of a variety of patient types. From reading and night lights to bright examination lights during doctor and nurse visits, lighting in these spaces must fulfill a number of functions. Patients will also spend hours looking at these fixtures so maintaining an aesthetically pleasing design and ensuring visual comfort is critical to enhancing patient satisfaction.

Nurses Station lighting
The nurses station is the heart of the floor and Cooper Lighting Solutions provide a well-lit work area for staff (day and night) to improve productivity and reduce errors, utilize under-cabinet lighting to provide shadow-free direct illumination for reading and charting tasks. With visual comfort front of mind, our solutions enhance effectiveness by providing visual comfort with glare-free, targeted task lighting to alleviate eye fatigue and variable CCT for circadian support.

Examination Room lighting
Typically, the first step in treatment at a medical facility is a visit to an examination room. In an examination room, it is important to not have only sufficient light but also high quality light to properly evaluate a patient’s condition. Recently, a shift has been made from utilitarian design of examination rooms to a more aesthetically appealing layout. As part of this shift, the use of lighting that is visually aligned to common spaces in the facility has become more prevalent in these rooms.

Our ingenuity is an effort tempered by grit. Expert teams of Visa Lighting designers and engineers shape, study, and reshape each luminaire until it meets the Visa Lighting standard.

Healthcare Lighting, Patient Room Lighting

Light is a crucial component of healing and wellbeing for patients and healthcare facility staff. Innovative product engineering for patient-centered design means matching functionality with comfort.

Our products specifically for healthcare environments adhere to medical design best practices, created after hours of development research with healthcare specifiers and caregivers.

Overbed Light Fixtures

Designed in collaboration with healthcare specialists, these overbed luminaires provide ambient and exam lighting directly over the patient bed.

Multiple modes in each fixture are optimized to allow healthcare staff to adjust light levels for the best possible care.

While exam mode produces high lumens for visual acuity during medical examination, patients can switch to ambient mode for comforting general lighting, or to reading mode for a focused distribution at the head of the bed.

Our overbed families offer optional 90 CRI, optional night light sources, and complementary models for sconce or table lighting.

Headwall Lighting

Headwall luminaires are long, wall-mounted luminaires installed behind the head of a patient bed. They provide patients with comfortable ambient illumination throughout the day.

Our headwall fixtures feature multiple light levels, night-light options, cleanable surfaces, and fabric-like materials.

MULTI-FUNCTION Overbed Light Fixtures

The most common patient over-bed light is still a single multifunction troffer. Of course, the BalancedCare multifunction bed light delivers the recommended levels for patient ambient and reading light, plus caregiver exam lighting. The difference lies in the “how.” The engineered light guide design at the heart of the BeWell™ Optics results in unrivaled visual comfort while still meeting best practice light levels in all functional modes. If the most practical choice is lighting from directly above the patient, let’s at least make it comfortable.

Philips Horizon bed light’s design and functionality fits the needs of both patient rooms and assisted living environments. The smooth shape reduces its visual impact on the wall while simplifying routine cleaning.

Illumination in medical facilities is an essential component of creating a safe environment that meets the rigorous needs of healthcare applications. Emergency rooms, examine rooms, surgery rooms are among the multiple areas that rely on the correct levels of brightness, distribution and color for physicians and medical personnel to do their jobs. Healthcare lighting not only needs to provide the proper lighting environment, the fixtures also must adhere to cleanroom standards that protect against contamination and particulate accumulation.
