Applications
Healthcare Lighting
Patient comfort, clinical accuracy, and staff wellbeing. Healthcare lighting must balance these demands while meeting stringent hygiene and compliance standards.
Healthcare environments are among the most demanding lighting applications. Clinical examination requires CRI 90+ and specific lux levels for accurate colour assessment. Patient areas need warm, calming illumination. Corridors require 24/7 reliable performance with emergency backup. Clean rooms and operating theatres demand sealed, flush-mount fittings with high IP ratings.
EMPRICS healthcare lighting solutions address every zone in the care pathway. Antibacterial surface finishes for infection control. IK10-rated fittings for mental health and secure environments. Tunable white for circadian rhythm support in long-stay wards. Emergency variants with 3-hour maintained or non-maintained backup.
All products carry the necessary compliance certifications. UKCA and CE marking. Fire-rated options for escape routes. Low-flicker drivers to prevent discomfort and visual fatigue in clinical settings.
