Health & Care

Lighting solutions that fit the project. Not the other way around.

Professional lighting for commercial projects. From standard fixtures available on short notice to project-specific procurement, as well as OEM and custom solutions.

Health & Care

Healthcare and long-term care facilities have specific requirements for lighting, wayfinding, and comfort. onework combines professional lighting with smart building automation and Human Centric Lighting for patients, residents, and staff.

Patient Rooms

Patient rooms require balanced lighting for daily activities, care, and rest periods. Different lighting moods should adapt flexibly to the time of day, room usage, and individual needs.

Resident & Care Rooms

In long-term care facilities, lighting plays a special role in orientation, safety, and well-being. Especially for older adults and people with dementia, lighting that reflects the time of day can make daily life easier.

Treatment and Examination Rooms

Medical procedures require good visibility, clear lighting, and reliable operation. Depending on the application, different requirements for examination, treatment, and documentation must be taken into account.

Ward & Work Areas

Care and ward areas are in use around the clock. Lighting should support focused work while also accommodating different work schedules and shift patterns.

Lounge & Common Areas

Common areas should encourage social interaction, activity, and relaxation. A pleasant lighting atmosphere helps create a comfortable environment and accommodate different times of day and usage scenarios.

Hallways & Walkways

Hallways connect patient care areas, nursing areas, and functional areas. Key factors include clear wayfinding, good visibility, and lighting that adapts to usage and the surroundings as needed, both during the day and at night.

Good health requires light that does more.

Patients and residents often spend long periods of time indoors and, as a result, sometimes receive too little natural daylight. At the same time, artificial light in the evening and at night, as well as changing daily routines, can place additional strain on the circadian rhythm.

For medical and nursing staff, this is compounded by high visual demands, shift work, and varying usage scenarios. Lighting must therefore support both rest and orientation as well as focused work and safe procedures.

Light adapts to the time of day, usage, and needs.

Human Centric Lighting aligns brightness and color temperature more closely with the natural course of the day. Energizing light during the day and more subdued lighting in the evening and at night can help better support biological rhythms.

In combination with occupancy detection, daylight, and room automation, lighting and other room functions can be controlled as needed. This creates lighting conditions that take into account the needs of patients and residents as well as those of medical and nursing staff.

Appropriate for the time of day

Brightness and color temperature are more closely aligned with the natural course of the day and support different phases of the day and rest periods. Stimulating lighting conditions during the day and more subdued lighting atmospheres in the evening and at night can be specifically coordinated with one another.

Patient-centered

Lighting conditions are adjusted to accommodate residents' daily routines, care needs, rest, and individual requirements. Orientation and a stable day-night rhythm are particularly important for older adults as well as geriatric and dementia patients.

People-oriented

The needs of medical and nursing staff are also taken into account. Shift work, the need for alertness, and a variety of tasks require appropriate lighting conditions.

Automated

Occupancy, time of day, and usage can be factored into the control system. This allows different lighting conditions to be provided automatically and as needed.

More Guidance

Carefully designed lighting conditions enhance visual perception and make it easier to find your way around patient rooms, hallways, and common areas.

Greater Well-Being

Lighting that matches the time of day can create a more pleasant atmosphere and help better support natural cycles of activity and rest.

Greater Security

Good visibility and clear lighting conditions help ensure that paths, obstacles, and work areas can be reliably identified.

Greater Alertness During Shift Work

Dynamic lighting conditions can help medical and nursing staff maintain more consistent levels of attention and performance throughout their shifts.

More peace and quiet in the evening and at night

Subdued lighting in the evening and at night can promote rest and reduce unnecessary visual stimuli.

Greater Energy Efficiency

LED technology, occupancy sensors, and demand-based lighting reduce unnecessary operating times and lower energy consumption.
