Health, Safety & Visibility
Light is crucial to everything that happens in a hospital, and it’s an environment where poor lighting can have devastating results.
The U.S. Department of Labor reports that the second highest cause of injury in hospitals is from slips, trips, and falls. Eye strain from inadequate light, or the wrong color of light, can impact healthcare worker productivity and morale. And that’s not even considering the errors that can take place during patient care if lighting is poor.
Help hospital customers understand that an LED lighting upgrade will enhance visibility and color quality (use before-and-after shots or even a live demo in a shadowy hallway), ultimately benefiting staff health and safety as well as patient experience and cleanliness.
Versatile Lighting
A hospital has a wide range of working areas to light: Operating rooms, maintenance areas, patient rooms, and cafeterias are just a few examples. Each of those areas have their own unique lighting needs, and older lighting fixtures simply don’t offer enough versatility in light quality or controls. Here are some ways in which versatile LED fixtures can deliver the right light for the right purpose.
Flexible Wattage
Hospitals are 24/7 facilities, but the lighting needs aren’t the same in every area — or during every hour of the day. Staff may want the lights in one space to be regularly brighter than in another, for example.
Fixtures that offer multiple wattage/output levels simplify the upgrade process. One fixture type can be used for multiple building locations, with the output set to different levels based on the needs of the staff. A single fixture type makes for a more straightforward installation for workers, too.
