Hospital

Intensive care is normally the entry point for a critically ill or injured patient into the ship’s hospital. Visual examination plays a major role in deciding the right treatment. This demands a high level of general illumination, as well as good color rendering.

Variety of mounting options

Arm-mounted examination lights fitted into wall or ceiling brackets, along with strong general lighting and high colour rendering, provide the perfect light sources in a ship’s hospital or marine medical centre. In order to achieve an adequate general lighting level of 500 lux, ceiling-mounted luminaires are the best option in these areas. Clean room luminaires with IP65 ingress protection rating are ideal in this situation, providing high protection and energy efficiency.

Medically certified examination luminaires can be mounted to the wall, ceiling, table or trolley stand and used as general examination lighting or for smaller interventions and procedures. Arm-based examination lights provide light precisely where needed and are supplied with narrow and wide light distributions.
