What about medical space lighting, besides illuminating?

The unreasonable combination of architecture and light ultimately results in the construction being put into use, and the user feels discomfort after entering the space.

The object of building services is people, and it is reasonable to think about how to better serve people.

And the hospital can pay special attention to this issue! Take the classmate’s friends for example!

My friend was hit by a car (dangerous with the classmates...) and sent to the hospital for examination. He was lying on the bed and smelling the smell of disinfectant water, looking at the bright white ceiling on the top of his head. There was a despair in my heart.

Why do you feel desperate? You see, most of the hospitals in the country use white fluorescent tubes, in order to ensure sufficient illumination.

But the problem is coming. The pale color of the environment is combined with the taste of disinfectant water. Coupled with the patient's own concerns about the disease, does this inadvertently increase the psychological pressure on the patient?

Therefore, before the design begins, designers need to pay attention to changes in the light environment that affect people in different scenarios.

Figure: Light has different effects on people's physiology and psychology at different times of the day. The lowest illumination at night to ensure sleep is not disturbed. At dawn, with the stimulation of high color temperature light, people began to wake up, full of energy, and start a day of activities. From day to night, the color temperature and illuminance levels gradually become lower, until the dusk begins to secrete melatonin, and the body sends a signal of rest.

But the problem is coming again, and I continue to talk about the friends of the classroom!

Since he feels uncomfortable when he is lying under the lights, if the lights are reduced, the illumination is not enough. What should the nurse and sister do when they want to take the needle?

More importantly, patients with different conditions are still different in sensitivity to color and light.

How to solve this problem? Here is the answer:

Figure: Using different lights in different functional spaces of the hospital

Figure: With the recent pre-retrofit and post-transformation comparison, it is clear at a glance that the change in illumination affects the entire space. The doctor and the patient are the users of the space, and the light environment under different conditions in the same ward realizes the optimal light environment configuration for the user. Designed lighting has a positive impact on both patients and doctors.

Figure: The high color temperature and illumination combined with daylight during the daytime treatment provide a clear working environment for the doctor and make the patient more rejuvenated;

The low color temperature and low illumination at night help the patient to get better rest.

Figure: Scenes rendered with light combined with color to make children more relaxed and enjoyable.

Most people think that lighting is good, just illuminate. Do you think that a foodie will feel full? So for a person who is pursuing light, the light is far more than that. It is necessary to know how to use all the light to extend the function of space, rather than let it become a tool to illuminate the space violently.
