The hospital is a special public place, many people’s lives depend on the hospital to save. In medical engineering, all the design is not a simple process, even the hospital walkway lighting design is very exquisite.
1.Public walkway lighting in hospital’s emergency buildings
The public walkway inside the hospital’s emergency building is an indoor thoroughfare. There are clinics on both sides, and there is only one door between the walkway and the clinic. The luminance in the clinic is basically more than 300lx. If the walkway lighting is too low, people will feel very uncomfortable because of the change of light when they walk on the walkway and the adjoining clinic.
Therefore, when the original design should take into account these issues. The aisle illumination can refer to the consultation room and the lobby lighting, to be the same as or higher than the 30% of the illumination. The general is about 100lx look. The walkway is mainly artificial to carry out lighting, glare-proof lamps are installed to the corridor ceiling. If the request is relatively high, it will use a reflective ceiling. So the effect will be more excellent, and people lying in a sick car will not feel uncomfortable seeing the light bulb above.
2.Public walkway lighting in the ward
The public walkway in the ward isn’t the same as the emergency building. Where the people need a more quiet environment, the light is better to be gentler. So the illumination shouldn’t be too high, basically, 50LX is almost. It is suitable for using embedded warm-color light fixtures or compact fluorescent lamps. In the ward on the side of the aisle, all the doors will have footlights. It can let the nurse in the evening time convenient patrol. In the late-night when the ordinary lighting device can be turned off. In the doorway leading to the outdoor should be “EXIT” signs lights, an aisle longer to be in the corner of the place to install evacuation signs lights, and the distance between them cannot exceed 20 meters.
The above is the hospital walkway lighting design principles. All medical engineering must be strictly implemented to ensure the safe and smooth development of medical activities.
