Choice of Luminaire
Statement luminaires such as the %Thorlux Cloud% or %Clara 720% are ideal for large atria and entrance areas.
These can be supplemented with wall mounted luminaires, such as the rest of the Clara range, %Kast% or the %Ovix%.
The Flex System
The Flex System is a radical new range of luminaries eminently suited to Reception and Waiting Areas.
- %Flexline% breaks from convention taking the lighting outside the ceiling tile offering freedom and flexibility of scheme design. With kits available in a wide variety of shapes and sizes, lighting design has never been so creative
- The dual light engine in the %Flexview% brings a touch of the outside inside with its illuminated picture window. Separate high performance optics provide the main space illumination ensuring quality and efficiency.
The %Flexview% offers an exciting new way to lighting waiting areas, reducing patient anxiety by creating a relaxed ambience.
Lighting Requirements
| Location | Maintained illuminance (lux) | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Floor | 200 | The lighting while being functional should mirror the efficiency and drama created at the reception areas of major commercial buildings. |
| Reception (floor) | 300 | A measure of retail lighting philosophy should be employed to create a welcoming and impressionable ambience. |
| Enquiry desk (task area) | 500 | Comfortable accent lighting techniques should be employed to make the desk visually stand out from the general surroundings. |
