Mick Allen, Project Manager at Morgan Sindall, commented, “We can see a big difference, both visually and economically. One of the main reasons we looked to change the lighting is to reduce running costs, and we’re already seeing savings." Mick continued by saying, “We are delighted with how it has turned out, everything that Tamlite said they would deliver has been delivered. And we are very happy with the extended warranty that we get on the products as well, so that made it much easier for us to use Tamlite for this project.”
Advanced Lighting Controls
The lighting scheme incorporated advanced controls tailored to the hospital’s needs. One of the key requirements in the wards was to provide dimming technology, for the sleeping areas in the wards at night. Tamlite luminaires are programmed to dim to 20% brightness at night, ensuring patient comfort while retaining flexibility to increase brightness when necessary.
In contrast, the nurse call stations required full lighting output through the day and night. As a result, Tamlite’s flexible Vision Lighting Controls provided the hospital with an adaptable solution, delivering the precise lighting required for each environment.
Healthcare Lighting Solution
Tamlite specified IP rated modules in the wards to facilitate easy cleaning and to support infection control, a critical consideration in healthcare settings. In waiting rooms, stylish downlights and linear modular fittings create a welcoming, calming atmosphere, essential for patient and visitor comfort.
Tamlite also delivered a wide-scale emergency lighting network, including signage and escape route lighting. This system ensures that staff and patients can safely make their way out of the hospital in the event of a severe emergency or loss of mains power.
Recognition for Excellence
