Intensive care
Unlike in ordinary wards, the lighting systems used in intensive care
units are generally separate from the more complex installations for
medical equipment. Comfort lighting is an exception. Supplementary
observation lighting enables patients and medical equipment to be
monitored at night. In rooms where patients are monitored through
observation windows, the level of lighting needs to be significantly
lower than it is in the room from which the patient is being
monitored. Dimmable lighting is advisable here to prevent any
reflection on the glass.
