Medical practice lighting: professional lighting design for special requirements

Lighting in a medical practice is subject to specific occupational health and safety guidelines and is set out in DIN EN 12464-1. The most important criteria defined there include

• Pleasant lighting
• Good light distribution uniformity
• Minimisation of direct glare, reflected glare and veiling reflections
• Optimal alignment of the light with pleasant modelling
• Appropriate colour rendering and light colour
• Sufficient lighting intensity
• Harmonious distribution of luminance
• Use of natural light

Choosing the right lighting solution also plays a decisive role in the well-being of doctors, staff and patients. A professional and customised lighting concept is therefore of great importance.

The right lighting in the reception area

First impressions count! When patients enter your practice, the reception area is their first port of call. It should be inviting, bright and well-lit to create a pleasant atmosphere. We recommend a combination of ceiling lights and wall lights. Ceiling lights provide uniform and extensive illumination, while wall lights set specific accents. This creates a harmonious lighting atmosphere that is also sufficiently bright.

Small LED panels or LED strips are suitable for creating interesting accents at the reception desk. These can be positioned specifically to emphasise certain areas or highlight individual objects.

Create pleasant lighting in the waiting room

In a waiting room, it is particularly important that the lighting is not too bright or too dim. A mixture of direct and indirect light is ideal here. Bright yet warm light sources create an inviting and relaxed atmosphere, which has a particularly positive effect on nervous patients. Dimmable ceiling lights are also a good choice, as their brightness can be adjusted as required.

Table or floor lamps placed next to the seating provide patients with direct light for reading magazines or books and can also serve as decorative elements. Make sure that the luminaires have sufficient brightness to make reading comfortable without causing glare.

Practice lighting in the treatment room

In order to create an optimal working environment, the right lighting in treatment and examination rooms is crucial. Sufficient brightness is essential for a clear view of the treatment area and all necessary instruments. LED lamps with a luminosity of 300 to 1000 lumens are an excellent choice. They offer high light intensity and are energy-efficient at the same time.

Good colour rendering plays an important role when, for example, an accurate assessment of skin tones or fabric colours is required. LED lamps are also advantageous here, as they offer more natural colour rendering than conventional incandescent lamps. Lights with adjustable arms or a dimming function help you to adjust the light angle and light intensity as required and optimise the lighting for your work area.

Frequently asked questions

What are the most important factors when choosing the right medical practice lighting?

Several factors are decisive when selecting lighting for medical practices. These include light intensity and distribution to ensure uniform illumination without shadows. Colour temperature is also important as it can influence the mood in the room and improve the colour rendering of skin and tissue during examinations. Lighting solutions should also be energy efficient and meet hygiene requirements.

What types of lighting are best suited for treatment rooms?

Lighting systems that offer high colour rendering and variable light intensity are particularly suitable for treatment rooms. Targeted examination lights make it possible to precisely illuminate specific areas, while ambient lighting creates a pleasant atmosphere. LED luminaires are recommended due to their durability, energy efficiency and low heat generation.

How does the right practice lighting contribute to energy efficiency?

LED lighting can significantly reduce energy consumption in the practice. Intelligent lighting systems that automatically adapt to daylight conditions or dim or switch off when no one is present also help to save energy. This not only reduces operating costs, but also does something good for the environment.
