Helping you balance quality 

of care with cost-efficiency 

Our world is continuously changing. The number of people globally 

requiring healthcare continues to grow – and healthcare as a sector 

needs to change and adapt. 

Understanding the challenges 

The challenges are significant. Controlling 

costs and improving operational efficiency 

are essential – to maintain both access 

to healthcare and the level of care that is 

required. Patients expect more and with 

hospitals increasingly adopting a patientcentric 

model, it’s important to have 

partners who understand this and can 

work with you to fulfil your specific needs. 

How lighting can help 

Lighting can play an important part in 

reducing cost and carbon emissions, while 

at the same time improving both patient 

and staff experience. Modern lighting 

solutions reduce costs by saving energy 

without compromising comfort and light 

quality, thus enhancing your care environment 

and the reputation of your hospital. State ofthe-art 

LED technology and control systems 

can also reduce installation and ongoing 

maintenance costs. 

It will be a challenge to balance 

quality of care with greater speed and 

efficiency enabled by technology.” 

Hospital marketing manager, the Netherlands 

Sustainability is key 

Hospitals typically consume twice the energy 

per square metre compared to commercial 

office buildings. As a result, sustainable 

procurement criteria and ‘green’ building 

certifications for hospitals are emerging. 

Philips Lighting can help you to meet 

these, while also meeting patient and staff 

needs – by creating sustainable solutions 

for environments that support everyone’s 

wellbeing and performance.

Be ready for the 

patients of tomorrow 

With increased access to healthcare 

information, patients are becoming increasingly 

demanding. They can opt for more economical 

healthcare options abroad, and ‘five star 

healthcare holidays’ are becoming a reality. 

Patients expect more from treatment and 

they also demand a better experience in 

their healthcare environment. 

How lighting can improve patient experience 

Light has an amazing effect on people – 

visually, biologically and emotionally. Used 

effectively in healthcare facilities it can enhance 

the patients’ experience and play a key role in 

promoting the wellbeing of patients. 

You see super-specialisation 

of hospitals, meaning that rare 

treatments will only be possible in 

specific, specialised hospitals. This 

may change the patient population.” 

Nurse practitioner 

Our people-centric lighting solutions can 

really make a difference – creating an 

enhanced healing environment, that combines 

effective, functional light with a more 

pleasant ambience. Light becomes of special 

importance for people who may need to be 

indoors for long periods of time, either in 

hospitals or care homes. 

Improved staff wellbeing through 

better lighting 

We are facing a growing global deficit of 

healthcare professionals, so the need to 

create pleasant and efficient working 

environments for healthcare professionals 

is essential, especially for staff who may 

work for long periods without access to 

natural daylight. Lighting solutions that mimic 

the effect of daylight are effective and proven 

ways to increase feelings of wellbeing amongst 

employees, improving efficiency and helping 

with staff retention. 

Today’s consumers of healthcare are well informed and expect better 

choices. They want hospitals to be welcoming and efficient places to 

go for treatment. They expect to be offered customised care and high 

levels of service. 



Creating a true 

healing environment 

Concepts like Healing Environment and Planetree have influenced 

ways of working in care facilities, based around a ‘patient-centric’ 

model. Design, lighting, styling, sound, air quality and materials all 

contribute to the atmosphere in a hospital – which directly relates to 

the way patients, visitors and staff feel when they are in the building. 

The natural power of light 

Recent research has shown that light can 

have many beneficial effects in healing 

environments. Not only does it improve the 

ambience in patient rooms, but also their 

satisfaction and wellbeing. 

I am involved in quality 

improvement; researching, reading up 

on and stimulating new developments. 

In this we generate best practices 

which go beyond protocol.” 


Experience solutions 

Philips has developed solutions that address 

people’s visual, emotional and biological 

responses to light. HealWell for instance is the 

world’s first total lighting concept for patient 

rooms. Developed by Philips Lighting, it is a 

unique solution that is designed to support 

the healing environment, by improving sleep 

duration, mood and satisfaction of patients, as 

well as the overall hospital experience. 

The importance of replacing lost daylight 

We typically spend between 50-80% of our 

time in an indoor environment, whether at 

home, school, office, or in a hospital. Light is 

an essential element in creating good healing 

environments. It can improve our mood, 

concentration, relaxedness, alertness and 

sleep. Scientific studies have shown that the 

light levels required to support our biological 

clock are much higher than we normally get in 

an indoor environment, even in spaces where 

there are windows. Using modern, sustainable 

lighting solutions to recreate the beneficial 

effects of daylight helps both staff and patients 

alike to function as they should, naturally. 



See what light can do 

for your staff and patients 

By combining state-of-the-art technology with 

our people-centric approach, we can balance 

everyone’s lighting needs and transform the 

entire hospital experience for patients and 

healthcare professionals. Hospital life can truly 

be transformed by the power of light. 

I am very interested in light, colours, 

aromas and other elements that can 

influence the way patients feel and 

respond in the hospital. Although 

surgeons tend to be sceptical, I am 

convinced that my department is 

ready for this kind of thinking.” 


People-centric, flexible solutions 

The lighting needs of patients and medical 

professionals are very different. The 

customisation possible with modern lighting 

helps provide an optimal lighting solution 

for each audience. For a patient that means 

creating a calm and relaxing atmosphere 

that they can personalise to suit their mood. 

By contrast, in examination environments 

the lighting should be bright and functional, 

supporting diagnosis and helping 

professionals to perform more effectively. 

Philips GreenEvolution 

We can help you reach sustainability targets 

by creating options for minimising energy use 

and carbon emissions. In our GreenEvolution 

approach we jointly assess the current 

situation in your hospital and subsequently 

propose solution scenarios using state-of-theart 

lighting technology. Scenarios include relamping, 

hole-for-hole luminaire replacement, 

addition of lighting controls, adaptation of 

existing luminaires and/or optimisation of the 

existing lighting design. We take ownership 

in optimising the return on investment for 

your facility, with options on performance 

contracting and turn-key services, that can 

lead to energy use and cost reductions of up 

to 80% per year. Each GreenEvolution project 

consists of a customised package of products 

and services, built specifically around individual 

customer requirements and objectives. 

Our solutions based approach 

We’re also aware that adopting today’s 

innovative, networked solutions can seem 

somewhat challenging to hospitals and 

other care facilities. Philips Lighting supports 

healthcare customers in this process by 

removing all complexity. We can implement 

comprehensive lighting solutions for you, 

delivering not only state-of-the-art products, 

but also installation, project management and 

maintenance services. When partnering with 

Philips Lighting, you’re assured of acquiring 

high-quality, high-impact lighting solutions that 

lead to truly enhanced healing environments 

with a minimum of hassle and risk. 

Solutions overview 

Lighting solutions can add value in many 

different ways throughout your hospital. In 

patient rooms and public areas, indoors and 

outdoors. Over the following pages you 

will find examples for ten typical areas of a 

hospital. The product examples shown are 

only a small selection of what is available. We 

aim to work with our customers as a lighting 

partner, to help create customised solutions 

that meet the needs of their individual 

application environments. 

There are many business challenges facing hospital management. 

Healthcare environments need to focus on the physical and 

emotional comfort of patients, staff wellbeing and motivation 

and visitor experience. 



Your building, your vision 

Façades 

Factors like service, atmosphere and accessibility play an increasingly 

important role, but also the general image and reputation of a 

healthcare facility. You can make your mark with the look and feel 

of a building that you design, and create an architectural icon. 

LED lighting offers unprecedented design 

freedom in terms of colour, dynamics, 

miniaturisation, architectural integration and 

energy efficiency – opening up new possibilities 

in brand building and ambience creation, 

for instance by dynamically changing the lighting, 

using various highlighting and colour effects. 

Architectural outdoor lighting can effectively 

turn your building into a prominent landmark, 

a living symbol of care and hospitality.

A warm welcome 

Entrance and shops 

First impressions count. Here’s the perfect opportunity to create a great 

first impression with a welcoming ambience. Attractive lighting in the 

entrance area can make a hospital more inviting. 

A harmonious lighting atmosphere makes 

people less apprehensive, inspires confidence 

and makes the surroundings appear friendlier. 

What’s more, patients and visitors are less 

likely to feel intimidated if they can find their 

way around easily, this is where lighting can 

support guidance and orientation. 

Entrance halls generally consist of four 

distinct zones – the entrance area, the 

reception desk, the waiting area and the 

area that leads people into the rest of the 

building. The entrance hall almost always 

connects to a restaurant and a shop. 

The reception desk also needs to be the ‘eye 

catcher’ in the space, so that visitors will be 

drawn to it straight away. 

Combining functionality and decorative 

aspects, solutions could include local task 

lighting for desk work and more creative 

light settings using slow dynamics and 

soft colours, to provide a harmonious 

lighting atmosphere that makes people less 

apprehensive, inspires confidence and makes 

the surroundings appear friendlier.

Well connected 



Corridors 

For a hospital, which is often open 24 hours a day, corridors and 

circulation areas are the arteries of the building. They link the different 

areas together logistically. Patients and visitors who are on their way to 

a doctor or specific department will naturally benefit from a brightly 

illuminated corridor rather than a dark one and specific lighting can be 

used to optimise guidance. 

The lighting should focus on guidance, 

safety and reassurance, by using diffused, 

homogeneous lighting, avoiding sharp contrasts 

and dark spots. For corridors where patients 

are wheeled along on trolleys, it must be taken 

into consideration that high levels of brightness 

can be extremely uncomfortable when they are 

looking upwards. 

Smarter corridors – daylight regulation 

Corridors provide a perfect opportunity for 

energy saving: At daytime when the corridors 

are in full use, lighting can be complemented 

with daylight integration using sensing 

technology, saving energy while maintaining 

a comfortable ambience. After-hours, when 

corridors are less frequently used, the lighting 

can be dimmed to a lower, but comfortable 

level for orientation, and when a person 

is detected it will fade up to normal levels 

unnoticeably. For internal corridors that are 

part of patient wards, daylight rhythms can 

improve the perception and wellbeing of users, 

by using dynamic lighting to bring in the positive 

effects of natural daylight, and create a sense 

of wellbeing.

Corridors (hospitality areas) Standard Corridors (hospitality areas) Advanced 

In a space where patients often meet each other and talk while navigating their way through to different parts of a hospital, our Standard 

solution for corridors in hospitality areas – featuring LED lighting, ensures that lighting brings high efficacy in terms of guidance, safety and 

comfort, while at the same time suiting modern ceiling architecture.

Designed to create inviting and relaxing ambiences, our Advanced lighting ideas here are inspired by hospitality lighting. The creation of 

ambience can be achieved simply by installing a combination of two lighting systems – an LED cove along the wall and spots on objects. 

The use of a control that combines ambient light detection, motion detection and infrared remote control reception helps to further reduce 

energy use over a 24 hour period.

Feel at ease 

Waiting rooms 

Waiting always seems to take longer than we expect. Especially when 

you are in a waiting room in hospital, where you may feel anxious, be 

in pain, or feel insecure about what will happen next. Our solutions 

can address this by recreating familiar environments that help to put 

patients at ease. 

Improving the waiting experience 

In many cases, the waiting room could offer 

patients and visitors a far more pleasant 

experience. A soft, homely atmosphere has a 

welcoming, calming effect, while the impression 

of hygiene and cleanliness fosters a sense of trust. 

Designed for relaxation 

Lighting solutions for waiting rooms can be 

designed to create a more homely ambience, 

for example dimmable wall lighting and table 

luminaires will radiate a relaxing, domestic 

ambience. Additionally, a positive feel can 

be created with indirect lighting in warm 

white light, illuminating each area in the 

room differently. Dynamic lighting that mimics 

the course of natural daylight, can connect 

people to the outside world, and support 

their wellbeing.

using light to suit the relevant medical procedures, thereby creating 

the best setting for each purpose. 

A more pleasant atmosphere 

Before and after treatment, the general 

lighting can be switched to a soothing and 

reassuring warm light, to create a comfortable 

environment for the patient. This will make the 

patient feel more at ease and allows staff to 

work more efficiently. 

Optimal light colour and high quality colour

Feel calm and comfortable 

Imaging rooms 

Going to hospital is something people often find unsettling – it’s a time 

when they feel concerned and vulnerable. A calming environment, that 

can include coloured lighting, projections, animations and video selected 

by the patient during examination and diagnosis can help them to feel 

more at ease and create a welcome distraction. 

Ambient Experience 

Scanning procedures can often make patients 

feel anxious and intimidated, unsure of what will 

happen next. They may not have visual contact 

with clinical staff during some procedures; at 

the same time, they are also separated from 

their loved ones, resulting in feelings of isolation. 

Some examination can be time-consuming and 

contribute to long waiting times, resulting in 

stress for staff and patients alike. 

Ambient Experience is a Philips Healthcare 

solution that’s based on research into the 

values and needs of patients and medical staff. 

By integrating architectural elements, interior 

design, lighting, video projection and sound, it 

creates a completely multi-sensory experience; a 

people-centric solution that provides a welcome 

distraction to help patients remain calm and 

comfortable during the imaging procedure. 



Ambient Experience 

Personalising your healthcare environment 

Ambient Experience helps relax patients by allowing them to personalise their environment. Personalisation starts when the 

patient selects one of the themes and soft-coloured lighting, calming sounds and projected images fill the atmosphere. In 

addition, staff efficiency is improved through room designs that offer open, uncluttered work spaces. 

Key benefits: 

• Reduced patient anxiety 

• Enhanced staff satisfaction 

• Supports workflow 

• Differentiates your hospital 

Depending on your clinical requirements and budget, Philips can offer a scaled Ambient 

Experience solution that works for you. 

The Ambient Experience solution can include the following elements: 

1 A ceiling projector displays videos or animations chosen by the patient from a library of themes, distracting them 

from the equipment and procedure 

2 Rounded corners suggest additional space and discourage clutter 

3 Soothing audio is added to create a relaxing ambience 

4 Coloured LED spotlights neutralise the harsh glare of institutional lighting, while encouraging a sense of wellbeing 

5 Integrated cabinets provide easy access to coils and accessories, freeing the room from clutter 

6 To complete the transformation, a halo of coloured light illuminates the examination room

Feel more at home 

Patient rooms 

A stay in hospital is never pleasant, especially if you are worried or in 

pain. There is often little privacy. But what if we could make the patient 

feel more at home? The challenge for hospital designers is to create 

flexible rooms that accommodate patients needs, but also make them 

work for staff. 


Light influences our health and wellbeing much 

more than we realise. Independent research has 

shown that there is a clear and positive relation 

between exposing patients to sufficient light 

during the day and their health and wellbeing. 

It has been proven that light can improve 

parameters like sleep, mood, depression and 

length of stay in a hospital environment. Light 

can help by creating a pleasant ambience for 

patients and visitors, and in addition it can 

support the biological clock, thereby 

supporting the healing environment.

A new approach to wellbeing 

Developed specifically to contribute to people’s visual, emotional and biological response to light, HealWell creates a unique 

environment that supports patient wellbeing. It is designed to support the biological clock of patients. In a field study we 

tested this solution, and the result was that patients in HealWell rooms actually sleep longer, and need a shorter time to fall 

asleep. In addition, the ambient light is personalised through the use of predefined settings that can be controlled by 

the patient themselves. 


The HealWell lighting system addresses the needs of patients and medical staff. Dynamic light is used to provide an 

automated day-rhythm, which mimics the varying patterns of natural daylight. At the same time, it provides medical staff the 

opportunity to overrule light settings, to have good working light conditions when the situation requires so, for example with 

examinations or emergencies. 

Key benefits: 

• A new and unique total lighting solution for patient rooms 

• Addresses the different needs of its users at all times, 

day and night (functional, emotional, biological), using 

an intelligent networked controls system 

• Provides a pleasant atmosphere, that can be controlled 

by patients 

• Provides excellent working light for staff 

• Proven solution, with evidence of improved satisfaction, 

improved sleep duration and sleep on-set latency and 

enhanced mood 

• Implemented as a turn-key solution, including lighting 

design, installation and training for staff 

German Heart Institute 

The challenge for this internationally renowned 

hospital was to create an optimum work and 

recuperation environment using innovative 

lighting concepts. We designed and installed a 

complete lighting solution, including HealWell 

and luminous textile.

Stay productive 



Offices 

Good office lighting design addresses different aspects of light. Artificial 

lighting can play a significant role in improving the work environment by 

creating a relaxed or uplifting ambience. 

Rooms with windows can be designed to 

have two dimmable zones, one close to the 

windows and the second one inboard. This 

provides flexibility for multiple desks and 

daylight harvesting. Photosensor input maintains 

lighting at target levels. Controls at the entry 

allow for independent control of the two zones, 

with manual-on and dimming capability (to 

dim below the photosensor setting). In offices 

and staff rooms, the light settings can be tuned 

– for example by providing higher light levels 

for more difficult tasks, and lower, softer light 

for personal comfort or relaxation, providing a 

valuable sense of control of the environment. 

Creating ‘natural’ hospital office lighting 

Daylight is never constant. It changes in intensity 

over the course of the day and the seasons, 

affecting our emotions, moods, perception 

and performance. Most of these changes are 

gradual transitions that we only perceive at 

a subconscious level, but they influence our 

biological rhythms and the patterns of our daily 

lives. Bringing these dynamics indoors creates 

‘natural’ lighting that stimulates and inspires 

those working there.


stumble 

Offices Standard Offices Advanced 

Our Standard solution uses general lighting that can combine energy saving with light quality that creates a sense of wellbeing. ‘Dynamic Ambience’ is our Advanced lighting solution that can bring the dynamics of daylight into working environments that have little or no 

natural daylight. This can increase alertness due to higher colour temperatures or higher light levels. One example of a positive biological effect 

is the reduction of sleepiness, which helps staff to combat the ‘morning blues’ or the ‘after-lunch dip’.

Feel safe 

Outdoor areas and parking 

The walk from the car park to the hospital entrance often takes visitors 

along a path or walkway across a piece of open ground such as a small 

park or garden. Good quality lighting can help to make people feel safe 

and comfortable. Additionally, marker lights can provide guidance, while 

subtle illumination of trees and other features can help to create a 

pleasant and inviting ambience. 



Outdoor parking Indoor parking

During hours of reduced daylight or at night, good lighting is key. Sufficient light is needed to for both drivers of vehicles and pedestrians. Light levels 

should be functionally high enough to allow easy tracking of the parked vehicle and bright enough to allow pedestrians to feel safe in their near 

surroundings. Through the use of a smart motion sensing technology control system, more energy can be saved without compromising on safety.

See what more light can do 

When it comes to creating better healthcare environments and enhanced 

experiences for people in hospitals, we have just begun to explore the 

potential. In this section we would like to share some of our ideas with you 

on how to improve hospital spaces further, by using the positive effects of 

light, in all its aspects. 



What if light could make 

a space more versatile? 

What if light could tailor a room to specific tasks, activities and interactions? 

What if it could increase efficient use of rooms? 

Hospital spaces are often used for more than one purpose. For example, 

examination rooms that are also used for doctors’ consultations or minor 

treatments. Wouldn’t it be great if you could make the same room suitable 

for different purposes, just by changing the light settings? 

Practical example 

Schiphol G7 gate tailors the lighting 

conditions to the specific functionality 

of the different areas in the airport 

boarding process. This results in a 

better flow during the waiting, security 

check and boarding procedures and 

an overall enriched experience. 

Inspiration 

Optimising unused space – 

one room fits all 

Use of lighting to create different ambiences 

which allows any space within a hospital setting 

to be used for multiple purposes, and currently 

unused areas to become functional. 

Space is often at a premium within hospitals, but 

by using lighting creatively, the same area can 

serve multiple functions. 

For example light can be targeted on a specific 

part of the body in an ICU setting. Yet with the 

help of creative lighting the same space could 

also allow breastfeeding mothers to lactate, 

function as a discussion or calming room, and act 

as a staff relaxation/sleep room. With the lights 

brightened, it could equally serve to energise 

staff before a shift. 

If you take this idea to its logical conclusion, there 

is even a possibility that hospital buildings per se 

will become redundant, since any space could be 

converted into a care setting. 

Personalised spaces – 

greater versatility and efficiency 

Lighting that can be instantly personalised to suit 

the patient’s preferences. 

Where space is at a premium, the use of lighting 

increases versatility and therefore efficiency. 

Patients can change the light ambience in their 

own room at the flick of a switch, or subtle 

lighting effects can be used to enhance the 

colour of certain areas of the care facility. 

Healthcare is a market and institutions are 

in direct competition with each other. Using 

lighting that makes patients feel emotionally 

more comfortable is one way for institutions to 

differentiate themselves from the competition. 

Lighting could be an integrated part of the 

care package, because its effects may ultimately 

reduce drug dosage and accelerate recovery. 



What if light could influence 

your perception of time? 

What if light could influence your perception of how long something takes? 

People in hospital waiting rooms are not just waiting. They often feel worried, 

anxious and insecure and the minutes of waiting can seem like hours. But imagine 

the difference that could be made if the waiting environment was so interesting, 

relaxing or had such welcome distractions that waiting time felt shorter. 

Scientific evidence 

Research from the University of 

Twente indicates that subjective 

perception of waiting time at 

railway stations is influenced by 

lighting conditions. It was found that 

passengers estimate the waiting time 

as being shorter when warm colours 

in combination with dimmed lighting is 

used, compared to cooler colours and 

a more intense lighting. 

Inspiration 

Calming waiting area light for patients 

A waiting room light that has a calming effect 

on patients before their consultation. 

Patients can become agitated by long waiting 

times and a lack of information if appointments 

are running late. This does not leave them in 

the best frame of mind when they do see 

the doctor. 

To manage waiting times, lighting could be 

installed in waiting rooms which changes as 

patients move through the queue to indicate 

how long they still have to go. The calming effect 

of the lighting would ensure patients are relaxed 

and alert during their consultation and thus 

more able to absorb information. 

Patients could be issued with an RFID tag on 

arrival and their wait managed by an information 

kiosk which can detect who they are. 

The solution could be geared to help people 

pass the time in the waiting area and create 

a perception of not having waited long. 



What if light could guide you 

and help you orientate? 

What if light could help you navigate? 

What if it could help form an overall picture of your environment? 

Picture yourself on your way to visit your child or your partner, who is staying in 

hospital. In an unfamiliar building with many corridors, you would naturally want to 

find your way as quickly as possible. An environment with lighting that also helps 

with orientation and wayfinding would be incredibly helpful in this situation. 

Practical example 

The Stumble Light is a motionactivated 

lighting device which creates 

a path from the bed to the bathroom 

with just enough light to enable a safe 

journey and prevent you from falling. 

A trip to the bathroom in unfamiliar 

surroundings becomes less perilous 

for people who are hesitant to turn 

on the room lights for fear of not 

being able to return to sleep. 

Inspiration 

Guiding milestones – lighting landmarks 

Lighting used as an attractive and clear 

waymarker to guide patients and visitors to 

where they need to be. 

Navigating through a large and unfamiliar hospital 

complex can be daunting. Giving people clear, 

visual landmarks or recognition points makes 

it easier for them to find their way or follow 

directions. Light can be an aesthetically-pleasing 

way to create visible yet, if need be, unobtrusive 

markers without taking up too much space in 

already crowded corridors. 

Spotlights could equally be used to brand or 

co-brand the care facility and thus increase 

awareness and possibly generate revenue. 

Navigating by smart phone using 

modulated light 

A smart phone app can be used for guiding 

people, determining locations, tracking people 

or valuable equipment. 

Luminaires contain specific data, i.e. identifiers, 

which are a kind of ‘GPS coordinates’. Each 

light point in the care facility has a different 

identifier which is not visible to the naked eye. 

A dedicated app on an iPhone or Android 

device detects these identifiers and shows the 

user where they are at that moment, how to 

get to where they need to be, and points of 

interest along the way. 

Because the identifiers are emitted from the 

light, no GPS or mobile network connection 

is needed – potentially very important inside 

hospital buildings. 



What if light could 

activate and energise you? 

What if light could propel you into action? 

What if it could support vitality? 

Did you know that how we experience the different seasons has a lot to do with 

light? For example, most people usually feel much more energetic in spring and 

summer compared to autumn and winter. Hospital staff and patients alike can 

really benefit from the energising effects of light, which complement our natural 

biological rhythms. 

Scientific evidence 

Blue enriched white light in the 

workplace improves self-reported 

alertness, performance and experience 

of evening fatigue. 

University of Surrey research 

Frequency of prescription-dispensing 

errors is reduced when work surface 

light levels are relatively high. But suboptimal 

lighting intensity (too dark or too 

bright) leads to an increase in errors. 

Buchanan et al., 1991 

Inspiration 

Mobile light therapy clinic – the light bus 

A mobile bus to provide a light boost where 

there is little natural sunlight and also to act as 

a vehicle to promote Philips lighting products. 

Sunlight is crucial in preventing issues such 

as seasonal affective disorder and insomnia. 

A mobile light therapy clinic (possibly a bus 

organised in partnership with a vehicle company 

and/or a medical facility) could travel to different 

locations and act as a locally-accessible therapy 

and meeting place. Typical areas of use would be 

in Nordic countries where there is little winter 

sunlight, or in urban areas to encourage people 

out of their homes. 

Such a mobile location could also act as a 

platform to promote lighting products for 

domestic use. 

Light therapy courses could be organised to 

educate care providers. Communities could 

organise their own light therapy get-togethers 

to promote overall well-being. 

Break rooms for regeneration – light hammam 

Light solutions to create a space in which staff 

can relax and reenergise between shifts and take 

a step back from the hectic pace of the hospital. 

A hammam-inspired rest room could replace the 

traditional staff room as an oasis for relaxation 

and a place to socialise. 

Special light settings and programs will adjust the 

ambience to actively promote regeneration in an 

area away from the work floor. 

Better wellbeing as the result of frequent 

and regenerating rest periods will increase 

productivity and staff satisfaction levels, resulting 

in increased efficiency, fewer errors and greater 

job satisfaction. And happy staff means happy 

patients and better quality care! 

The hammam concept could be replicated in, for 

example, shopping centres or other public places 

to promote general wellbeing of the population. 



Top tips for specifying LEDs 

Standardising the performance criteria for LED luminaires 

The rise of LED lighting is driving a significant transformation of our lighting 

industry – offering flexibility, creativity, programmability and energy efficiency. 

But standards vary tremendously. In recent years the 

lighting market has been flooded by a vast number 

of new and unproven entrants. Some making claims 

about their products’ performance that don’t stand 

up to scrutiny, while established manufacturers 

stand by their track records. Who to believe? As 

things stand, it can be difficult to know whom to 

trust to deliver on their promises, which potentially 

undermines the whole LED lighting industry. 

A CELMA guiding paper published in November 

2011 aims to help bring clarity by introducing a 

universal set of quality criteria described in two 

IEC/ PAS documents. As a user of LED luminaires it 

is important to apply the same set of standardised, 

comparable quality criteria when evaluating 

manufacturers’ claims. LED luminaire specifications 

should always be measured against these. 

There are three elements that can be standardised: 

technical definitions, measurement methods 

and limiting values. The IEC/PAS performance 

requirement documents describe the definition of 

quality criteria and the way to measure them. This 

means you will now be able to judge claims on an 

equal, like-for-like basis – creating a ‘level playing 

field’ that truly serves the interests of end-users, 

specifiers, designers and manufacturers. 

The IEC/PAS documents suggest the following list 

of quality criteria to be considered when evaluating 

manufacturer’s claims: 

a) Rated input power 

b) Rated luminous flux 

c) LED luminaire efficacy 

d) Luminous intensity distribution 

e) Photometric code 

f) Correlated Colour Temperature (CCT) 

g) Rated Colour Rendering Index (CRI) 

h) Rated chromaticity co-ordinate values both initial 

and maintained 

i) Lumen maintenance code 

j) Rated life (in h) of the LED module and the associated 

rated lumen maintenance (Lx) 

k) Failure fraction (Fy), corresponding to the rated life 

of the LED module in the luminaire 

l) Ambient temperature (tq) for a luminaire. 

A brief summary of the different quality criteria: 

a) Rated input power 

The rated input power shows the amount of energy 

consumed by a luminaire, including its power supply. 

It is expressed in watts. 

b) Rated luminous flux 

It corresponds to the light emitted by the luminaire which 

is expressed in lumen (unit of light output). 

It is expressed in lumens. 

c) LED luminaire efficacy 

The measured initial luminous flux divided by the 

measured initial input power of the same individual 

LED luminaire. It is expressed in lumens per watt. 

d) Luminous intensity distribution 

The spatial distribution of the luminous flux graphically 

depicted in a luminous intensity distribution curve, which is 

usually expressed in a polar coordinate diagram representing 

the light intensity as a function of angle about a light source. 

It is expressed in cd = lm × sr-1. 

e) Photometric code 

A six digit photometric code that displays the important 

‘quality of light’ parameters: CRI, CCT, chromaticity 

co-ordinates and luminous flux. 

f) Rated Colour Rendering Index (CRI) 

The colour rendering of a LED module giving white 

light is the effect on the colour appearance of objects 

by conscious or subconscious comparison with their colour 

appearance under a reference illuminant. 

g) Correlated Colour Temperature (CCT) 

The colour temperature of a LED module giving white 

light is determined by comparing the light emitted by the 

LED module with light of an ideal black-body radiator at 

the given temperature. It is expressed in Kelvin. 

h) Rated chromaticity co-ordinate values both initial 

and maintained. 

The behaviour of the chromaticity co-ordinates of a LED 

module expressed in two measurement results of both 

initial and maintained chromaticity co-ordinates. 

i) Lumen maintenance code 

The measured initial luminous flux (initial value) is normalised 

to 100% and used as the first data point for determining the 

LED module life. The maintained luminous flux (maintained 

value) is measured at 25 % 

of rated life time up to a maximum of 6.000 hours 

and expressed as percentage of the initial value. 

The maintained value determines the lumen 

maintenance code. 

j) Rated life of the LED module and the associated rated lumen 

maintenance (Lx). 

The length of time during which a population of LED modules 

provides more than the claimed percentage (x) of the initial 

luminous flux always published in combination with the failure 

fraction. It is expressed in hours. 

k) Failure fraction (Fy), corresponding to the rated life of the 

LED module in the luminaire. 

The percentage (y) of a number of LED modules of the same 

type at their rated life designates the percentage (fraction) of 

failures. This failure fraction expresses the combined effect of 

all components of a module including mechanical, as far as the 

light output is concerned. The effect of the LED could either 

be less light than claimed or no light at all. 

l) Ambient temperature (tq) for a luminaire. 

The ambient temperature around the luminaire related to 

the specified performance. For a given performance claim 

the ambient temperature (tq) is a fixed value. It is possible to 

specify performance claims at different ambient temperatures. 

It is expressed in degrees Celsius. 

Note: please be aware that you have to make sure that the 

tq shall be in accordance with the actual application where 

the LED luminaire will be used. 

For more information see: ‘Apples and pears – a CELMA guiding 

paper: why standardisation of performance criteria for LED 

luminaries is important’.

An intelligent approach 

to lighting – using controls 

We understand the importance of getting your lighting right. You need 

the right lighting that works for you in every situation to maximise the 

potential for positive change. 

By switching to an intelligent lighting system that applies the correct level of light as required, you can 

move to a sustainable, low impact lighting solution that helps you meet energy consumption, carbon 

emissions targets and legislation requirements and can substantially reduce your expenditure, whilst 

improving the comfort for patients and staff in hospitals. 

The success of any intelligent lighting system depends on three principal factors: system design, 

proper commissioning and providing adequate user comfort. All three factors affect user 

experience as well as estimated energy savings. Overall, combining several controls strategies can 

generate energy savings of 30-55% for a complete building, depending on the application. 

Options for energy saving 

Limit the use of lighting 

Energy usage patterns for a building should reflect the facility occupancy time profile. When traffic in common and 

circulation areas is reducing in the evening and at night, light levels may be lowered to levels that still provide a safe and 

comfortable working environment and reassuring illuminance of an egress path. Time-based switches are used for after-hours 

circulation spaces – lighting that is not required can be automatically switched off or dimmed. 

Daylight integration 

Natural light has an important bearing on the wellbeing of occupants and is accompanied by their need to be connected 

to the world outside. Lighting control solutions enable us to strategically substitute artificial light with natural light, slowly 

dimming lights parallel to daylight entry and achieving considerable energy savings. 

Low circulation areas 

These areas in a hospital are a common source of unnecessary energy usage. Occupancy detection can help to save energy, 

by providing light only when and where it is required. 

Options for improving comfort and flexibility 

Scene setting 

Multi-scene controls can be applied in various rooms, for example in examination and treatment rooms, meeting rooms or 

other areas where multiple activities and the needs of different users have to be combined in the shared space. 

Dynamic lighting recipes 

Automated controls are for instance used in spaces where day-rhythms are desired, to mimic the course of natural light 

outside. Examples of applications are dynamic lighting in staff rooms and corridors, but this can also be of benefit in, for 

example Intensive Care Units where patients, after severe or critical treatment, are often in need of extra support and 

orientation during extended recovery times. 

Benefits of central control networks 

The above-mentioned possibilities can be used locally, on room or department level. Higher levels of networking are also 

available, allowing integration of controls on multi-department level or with other building management systems, and even 

extended to multiple buildings. Control networks on building management level can connect the data from all luminaires 

and thus provide valuable data – like intelligent energy calculation and shared occupancy information. These networks can 

also monitor maintenance requirements, based on lamp values, burning hours and error reporting. And they can be coupled 

to other systems, like HVAC and blinds, making one interface possible. Centralised control networks can provide optimal 

building performance to ensure maximal comfort, easier maintenance and minimum energy usage. They can also help to 

maximise flexibility for building owners to enable future expansion or restructuring.
