Orchard Care Homes go green with LED Down Lights and Microwave Sensors
Orchard Care Homes, accommodating the elderly and some dementia patients, was looking for the kind of modern lighting system that would satisfy the specific demands of the residents. The lighting had to offer warm, white lights with a high colour rendering index. The system needed to provide a lighting solution that created a calm and pleasant ambience. Orchard Care Homes were also looking for environmentally friendly, efficient and effective lighting solutions. Great care was taken to find the right quality lighting that would offer the best illumination for the residents. The residents needed an even, consistent light that would not throw shadows causing agitation and confusion. Quality lighting is a vital component of friendly old age and dementia care facilities. The right lighting system gives the elderly the extra lighting they need with minimised glare and sudden light changes. Research shows that increased illumination improves mood behaviour and sleep patterns in the elderly. Careful attention needs to be given to nighttime lighting too. Orchard Care Homes were extremely happy with the solution to their lighting problems supplied by Ledison-LED- Lights. The highly efficient LED lights are long lasting and environmentally friendly. They were just the right quality upmarket product required. Ledison LED Lights supplied LED round panels with emergency battery packs and microwave sensors. The lighting was installed in the ceiling to create the right residential environment for the needs of the care facility. The round panels, situated in the ceiling, have microwave sensors and a three level dimming system. The indirect lighting concealed in the ceiling, with the additional dimmer aspect, allowed the residents to have quality lighting in the daytime and at night. Lighting via the ceiling installation gave the best quality overall light and was especially effective in the corridors.
