Hospital & Healthcare
Examples
In healthcare, lighting has two core functions: giving clinical staff the high-quality, precise light they need to perform critical tasks, and creating a safe, comfortable environment that supports patient recovery. A successful lighting system delivers on both, reliably and efficiently.
Hospital & healthcare
Lighting in a healthcare environment is a specialized technical system where performance is critical. The primary objective is to provide medical staff with optimal visual conditions for diagnosis and treatment while ensuring the safety and well-being of patients. In clinical areas, this means delivering high-intensity, glare-free light with superior colour rendering to ensure every detail is seen accurately. For patient rooms, the focus is on creating a functional environment that supports the healing process. This requires different layers of light: a comfortable general light, a focused reading light, a powerful examination light, and a low-level night light for safe monitoring. Increasingly, Human Centric Lighting is used as a practical tool to help regulate patient sleep-wake cycles, which is a measurable factor in recovery. At SG Armaturen, we engineer lighting solutions that meet the rigorous technical and hygienic demands of modern healthcare. We focus on delivering reliable, high-performance systems that support staff, improve patient outcomes, and reduce operational costs for the facility.

Tips #1
Prioritize light for clinical precision
For examination and treatment areas, select fixtures with a very high Colour Rendering Index (CRI 90+) and high light output. This ensures accurate visual diagnosis and reduces eye strain for medical staff during critical procedures.
-
Tips #2
Design for hygiene and maintenance
Choose sealed fixtures with smooth surfaces (high IP rating) that are easy to clean and disinfect. This is essential for meeting strict hygiene standards in patient rooms and clinical zones, preventing the accumulation of dust and bacteria.
-
Tips #3
Use light to support patient recovery
Implement Human Centric Lighting in patient rooms. A system that automatically mimics the intensity and colour temperature of natural daylight helps regulate sleep patterns, which is a proven factor in supporting the healing process.

Tips #4
Automate for 24/7 safety and efficiency
In corridors and non-critical areas, use motion and daylight sensors. This ensures safe navigation for staff and patients around the clock while significantly cutting energy costs in a 24/7 operational environment.
