Lighting
In modern and complex healthcare environments, all lighting should be designed with human-centered solutions.
Controllable lighting systems that ensure patient comfort and staff efficiency while also requiring low maintenance and efficient energy use should be preferred.
As ARLIGHT, we are at your service with our high quality fixtures and accurate lighting solutions.
For correct lighting;
- Luminance level (lux),
- Color rendering (CRI),
- Glare (UGR),
- Homogeneity (U0),
- Color Temperature (Kelvin) criteria must be taken into consideration.
Patient Rooms
- Brightness Level (Em)100-300 lx
- Glare Value (UGrL)19
- Colour rendering index (ra)≥80
Increasing patient comfort positively affects the healing process.
The patient should be provided with a comfortable, relaxing environment. Glare should be minimized to make the patient as comfortable as possible.
The light level must be sufficient and facilitate examinations that must be performed in a safe and convenient manner for the patient.
Sterile Environment
Operating room, intensive care, laboratory
- Brightness Level (Em)1000 lx
- Glare Value (UGrL)19
- Colour rendering index (ra)90
It is recommended that fixtures selected for sterile environments be designed to be safe and easily wipeable for infection control. (IP 65)
Intensive care rooms are designed with easy access to many medical devices and appropriate working light for healthcare personnel.
In surgery, the operated area is strongly illuminated with special lighting to reveal colors and skin tones as naturally as possible. The lighting in the rest of the operating room should be adapted to create good working light and facilitate the visual needs of the staff.
Green light that contrasts with red and controllable light systems should be preferred in operating rooms. With such a design, eye comfort and concentration increases.
Examination Rooms
- General Brightness Level500 lx
- Inspection Brightness level1000 lx
- Glare Value (UGrL)19
- Colour rendering index (ra)>90
A warm, friendly atmosphere helps patients feel calm, safe and relaxed during treatment.
With lighting with the right color temperature and color rendering, doctors can distinguish the subtlest color nuance on a patient's skin.
Correct positioning of fixtures is very important. It should not create glare or reflection points on computer screens.
Scanning Rooms
- Brightness Level (Em)300 lx
- Glare Value (UGrL)19
- Colour rendering index (ra)80
A quiet environment should be provided for the patient by choosing lighting with low glare value.
General Area
- Brightness Level (Em)200 lx
- Glare Value (UGrL)19
- Colour rendering index (ra)>90
Common areas contribute significantly to the first impression people make about the hospital.
Lobby and waiting areas should create a comfortable, simple and warm lighting atmosphere with a high amount of indirect light.
Main circulation routes should be adequately illuminated so that patients, visitors and staff can navigate quickly and safely.
