Medical lighting

Having in mind that hospitals are in use 24/7, It is indispensable that an appropriate lighting level is a must, particularly in emergency rooms and operational theaters.

Proper installation and use of lighting in hospitals are important as they create better and safer conditions for both staff and patients, making good visibility a priority.

Benefits of hospital lighting technology

Luminaires for hospitals and healthcare facilities usually illuminates two types of spaces: 

• medical ones, where examinations, treatments, interventions, testing take place, and 
• general ones:, reception, canteen, waiting rooms, leisure spaces, which have the functional requirements of hotels.

Healthcare and hospital LED lighting ensures multiple benefits, primarily:

• Improved visual conditions, including visual comfort for patients and staff;
• Increased energy efficiency;
• Improved safety;
• Reduced maintenance costs.

Hospital and medical lighting is also important as it influences mood, wellbeing and work performances, which is why the visual conditions need to follow the latest trends in the lighting industry, while complying to appropriate standards.

The importance of LED healthcare lighting for the recovery process

Appropriate medical lighting is indispensable for high performance of the medical staff and improved patient experience.

This type of lighting should provide a nurturing atmosphere that will help the patients recover more efficiently. It should also enable the staff to enjoy a good working environment, important for their concentration and well-being.

Why is BUCK hospital LED lighting a good solution?

Operating theatres, laboratories, intensive care units and recovery rooms have special requirements regarding lighting , cleanliness of the luminaires and maintenance. It is essential that the surgical light, or any type of medical light for that matter – works flawlessly, and that maintenance, if needed, is quick and easy because the premises are in use 24/7.

Our hospital lighting fixtures meet the strict hygiene standards and are highly resistant to aggressive cleaning agents essential for maintenance. It is also important that the luminaire surface is smooth, enabling easy cleaning, and integration into hospital interior design.

Comfort for patients and employees

Medical luminaires from BUCK’s production mounted above hospital beds provide excellent illumination for medical staff as well as pleasant lighting for patients (human-centric lighting).

An appropriate lighting design in hospitals is very important. It is vital that the provided lighting is within the set parameters, because excessive lighting will obstruct the patients in resting and recovering, while its lack will not enable optimal working conditions to the medical staff, causing fatigue, poor concentration and visual perception.

Longevous choice for hospital lighting

Another important feature of medical luminaires is their longevity, which is essential for hospital LED lighting. Due to the nature of their work environment, involving work in shifts, frequent maintenance would interfere with the use of certain rooms and thus disrupt the operation of hospitals.
