Our history of lighting forthe individual begins with our development of the L-1 task light luminaire in 1937. The freedom of movement and the ability to place the light exactly where it was needed changed the way task lights worked forever Soon L-1 found its way into healthcare premises. Task oriented lighting in hospitals demanded other solutions than those used in offices. Through close cooperation between hospital staff patients and LUXO R&D, new models tailored to meet healthcare demands were made. This close cooperation continues today and makes sure new technical innovations are...

Healthcare premises are very demanding environments for lighting planning. The wide variety of tasks being performed and the vast differentials in physical abilities of those using the premises demand a number of different lighting solutions. New drugs or treatments are given much attention, while good lighting is down on the priority list. We should not underestimate the effects of lighting on human health, well-being and ability to perform, especially in view of the increased use of light therapy At Luxo we have the know-how and products to supply you with "the right light".

RECEPTIONS / WAITING AREAS For waiting room areas, lighting plays a major role in creating a relaxing and calming atmosphere. The lighting scheme can provide a different feel to varying parts of the space. There may be bright zones or subdued zones to create interest. Lighting can be used as a tool to provide these different effects without necessarily having to alter the physical attributes. The effects can even be manipulated via lighting controls according to the varying individual needs, daylight availability, or simply by occupancy. Type of interior, task or activity Em/lux CRI...

PATIENT ROOMS / WARDS For general lighting, uplighters are the right choice for a ward. Downlighters should be kept to corridors to prevent the patient from looking directly into the luminaires, and when downlighters are used it is always preferable to use asymmetric reflectors to avoid any glare while patients are transported. Trunking systems are a common way of integrating electrical and communication systems including gases in the ward. For ease of access to these services, the trunking needs to be situated approximately 1.4M or 4.6 ft above floor level, while an uplighter needs to be...

Corridor lighting has the prime objective of illuminating "transportation" areas. When patients are being transported, great care should be taken to avoid direct glare from the luminaires. This can be done by luminaires that "wash" the wall with light, ceiling-mounted direct light luminaires with asymmetric light distribution, wall-mounted luminaires or other solutions depending on the individual design and construction of the corridors. Correct lighting also works as signs, highlighting doors and giving indication of direction and depth. Even illumination is counterproductive as people...

We recommend a lighting solution that consists of indirect lighting in combination with an ergonomie task light. This solution is both ergonomically correct and individually adapted and takes into account the need for glare-free lighting and energy efficiency Doctors' offices often combine tasks found in a regular office with tasks found in an examination room. Indirect lighting combined with a task light gives the optimum working environment for all paper and computer work. Doctors offices are regularly used for consultation with the patient and decorative pendant luminaires can create a...
