What are the LED Lighting Supply Lights You Will Find in a Hospital and Healthcare Facility?

Hospital lights vary by application and location. The outdoor lights used outside are typical of any commercial establishment. Many of the lights in hospitals and healthcare and medical facilities' interiors are general lighting that you can find in schools and other commercial offices. These include panel lights, sconces, and stairwell lighting.

• Lobby: Our LED panel lights or retrofit solutions with LED tubes or magnetic retrofit strips.
• Patient Room Lighting: For good lighting and visual comfort, we recommend using LED panels and over-bed linear fixtures.
• Corridor Lighting: We suggest using our LED panel lights, or retrofit solutions with LED tubes.
• Ward Lighting: We suggest using our LED panels mounted on the ceilings.
• Kitchens: We offer NSF rated fixtures for food safety, or vapor proof lighting.
• Color Adjustable LED Fixtures: We do have a series of color-adjustable LED panels and flush-mounted ceiling lights. They allow you to set the desired color temperature.

The Benefits of Using LED Lighting Supply Lights in a Hospital and Other Medical Facilities

Here are a few reasons why LED Lighting is more suitable for hospitals than HID and fluorescent lighting:

• Energy Efficiency: With our lights, you can achieve energy savings and reduce energy consumption by 50-90%.
• High Quality lighting: Our lights have a high CRI ( color rendering index) when compared to traditional light sources in healthcare spaces. This is important for procedures like medical examinations.
• Reduce maintenance costs: You can expect 10+ years of maintenance-free lighting.
• Occupancy Sensors: We offer LED fixtures with occupancy sensors. Lights are only at full power when needed.
• Instant on: With out lights there is no waiting for lights to achieve full power.
• Quiet: Our LEDs do not hum like fluorescent ballasts.
• Flicker free: Our LED lights do not flicker.
• No Mercury: our LED fixtures are void of harmful mercury.
• No UV: our lighting does not produce UV.

Why LED Lighting Supply Fixtures are Better than Fluorescent Lighting for Healthcare Facilities

LED, without a doubt for proper lighting. Fluorescent lights strobe, flicker, and hum, cause eye strain and headaches, and have mercury.

With LED, there's no humming, no strobing, no flickering, and no mercury. Plus, with LED, you get significant energy and maintenance savings.

Whare are Ideal Lighting Levels for Hospitals and Health Care Facilities?

That depends on the function and area, but here are some general guidelines:

• Lobby Area: 15-20 fc
• Waiting Area (General): 20-30 fc
• Patient Ward Rooms (Observation): 30 fc
• Medical Laboratory: 50 fc
• Operating Room: 300 – 1000 fc
• Critical Care Areas (Examination): 50 fc

LED Hospital Lighting FAQs

Is it Better to Retrofit or Use New Fixtures for Hospital Lighting?

It depends on the light itself. If it is a light that is hard to find, but you’d like to convert it to LED, retrofitting makes sense. Otherwise, we would recommend new fixtures.

What is the Best Color Temperature to Use in a Hospital?

It depends on the purpose of the room and the activity performed in it. For patient rooms and waiting rooms, we would recommend a warmer color temperature, 3000K or 4000K. For commercial kitchens and engineering rooms, we would recommend 5000K.

What's the Best Way How to Avoid the Build-up of Germs on Hospital LED Lights?

Like any surface in a hospital, you should clean the light surface to avoid the build-up of germs.
