Healthcare Application guide - Philips Lighting

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.
