Previously, incandescent and fluorescent light fixtures were the light source of choice for hospitals. But as both LED technology and healthcare facilities improve, flickering dull light is being replaced with warmer, more human-centric illumination. The transition to LED lighting not only allows hospitals to provide better service to their patients but reduces maintenance and energy costs so resources can be spent on people rather than bulbs.

This color can range from warm white to cool white, but once a light fixture is chosen, there’s no option to change its color throughout the day.
