Lighting for a doctor's surgery

Optimum working light and calming atmosphere

Well-planned lighting in the car dealership ensures that the vehicles are optimally staged. Potential customers can admire the cars in the showroom in all their glory and decide on a particular model more easily. In addition, the car dealership lighting also serves as a functional orientation aid for customers. If a workshop is attached to the car dealership, this in turn requires a completely different type of lighting, which enables precise work results thanks to optimum visual conditions.

Your lighting project with Lights.ie

A well-planned lighting concept conveys trustworthiness and calmness to patients. It has been shown that patients are more willing to explain their complaints when the light is dimmed. At the same time, it offers employees appropriate working conditions. Warm white, indirect light and discreet lighting elements alternate with lighting solutions that enable high precision in medical examinations and laboratory work.

Lamps and luminaires for doctors' surgeries

Every medical practice consists of several rooms and areas with different functions. Professional lighting design includes tailor-made individual solutions to specifically meet the requirements of reception areas, consulting rooms and medical examination rooms. Specific light sources are determined for general lighting as well as for efficient and precise examinations and treatments.

Legal requirements for medical practice lighting

Lighting in doctors' surgeries is regulated by precisely defined standards and guidelines. These are taken into account in lighting design. In addition, the lighting requirements for doctors' surgeries can be found in DIN EN 12464-1: "Light and lighting - Lighting of workplaces - Part 1: Indoor workplaces".

Various areas of application for lighting a doctor's surgery

Lighting design for a medical practice requires a differentiated approach. For all rooms and areas, it is important to meet the functional requirements of medical work as well as the needs of patients. A holistic lighting concept is developed through a careful selection of lighting solutions.

Lighting for the reception area

The reception area is the calling card of the medical practice. The first impression that patients gain is responsible for conveying trust and calm. At reception, the aim is to create a combination of inviting, serious and friendly lighting. This includes separate accent lighting in certain areas, e.g. on plants or pictures, to create a cozy atmosphere.

Waiting room lighting

The light in the waiting room is largely responsible for creating a pleasant and friendly atmosphere. This reduces the patient's anxiety and conveys a feeling of security. Bright, warm white light that provides sufficient brightness for reading magazines and books can be generated, for example, by LED ceiling lights in combination with direct/indirect wall lights. A uniform illuminance of around 300 lux is sufficient for the maintenance area.

One modern solution is lighting systems that use HCL and programmed lighting routines to simulate the changing color temperature of daylight and thus support people's natural biorhythms. Depending on the time of day, the same light sources alternate between warmer-looking light colors of around 2,700 Kelvin with cooler shades of up to over 6,000 Kelvin

Lighting of the treatment rooms

At the same time, the reception area is also a workplace for the receptionists. Uniform and bright lighting creates good working conditions and promotes concentration. The specific requirements for VDU workstations apply to computer work. Appropriate lighting solutions ensure higher illuminance levels of at least 500 lux. A UGR value <=19 ensures that the lighting does not cause any annoying glare or reflection points.
