"So often, healthcare lighting is either functional with an institutional appearance or extremely decorative while ignoring cleanability and other critical standards," commented Colette Fleming, BalancedCare director of healthcare. "Now, lighting designers don't need to compromise."

BalancedCare luminaires provide solutions that not only function properly, but also provide beautiful and timeless designs.

Functional Optics and Visual Comfort

BalancedCare offers patent-pending BeWell™ performance optics for both visual comfort and functionality. A departure from traditional luminaires with unsightly segmented compartments or indirect baskets, BeWell light guide technology provides multiple precise distribution options to deliver the many layers of light required in healthcare environments. The luminaires also provide glare-free comfortable lighting that supports the visual tasks of staff while enhancing patients' overall wellbeing.

Intelligent Technologies

BalancedCare is an intuitive 'controls-agnostic' collection with intelligent patient bed control compatibility, and spectral programmability provided by tunable white and BIOS SkyBlue® technologies. BalancedCare partners with industry-recognized controls suppliers for integration into any building automation system.

Infection Control and Performance

BalancedCare products are constructed of materials and finishes that withstand hospital cleaning protocols, standing up to the most stringent infection control requirements. They meet functional and application-specific industry listings such as UL, ADA, Ingress Protection and National Sanitation Foundation standards.

Ease of Maintenance

Room-side access to drivers and components facilitates maintenance efforts, reduces costs, and prolongs sustainability of luminaire systems.

Architectural Form

BalancedCare luminaires provide timeless, stylized forms concealing sophisticated technologies that complement and enhance today's architecture. Sleek, low profile styles replace mundane, institutional looks of the past and elevate healthcare lighting design to today's standards.

Wellness

With a focus on patient and staff wellness, this thoughtfully configured lighting balances both visual and circadian needs, as well as links to nature, and promotes healing outcomes. BeWell provides better visual acuity for tasks, and softer, healing visual comfort in the space.

"Years of comprehensive research and development, including consulting designers and healthcare personnel, have resulted in this industry-changing family of luminaires. We're thrilled to bring this thoughtful, modern collection to market," added Fleming.

Sunlight, UVB and Vitamin D – Human Centric Lighting Beyond Melanopic Stimulation

by Ir. Rémy C. Broersma and Dr. Ir. Marcel P. Lucassen, Scientists at Signify Research Eindhoven UVB radiation initiates vital processes in our body, one of which is the production of vitamin D in the skin. It is well known that over-exposure to the sun may bring a risk. Less well known is that the same is true for insufficient sun exposure due to our indoor lifestyle. In Part 1 of this article, we first describe the scientific understanding behind vitamin D. In Part 2 we describe how artificial light can be enriched with a safe, low dose of UVB, to supplement natural vitamin D production in the skin. Not too much, not too little.

Light in the Service of Health – Bringing the Science of Light and Health into Everyday Life through Evidence-based Communication

Light does far more than let us see. In this episode of the LED professional podcast, Manuel Spitschan and Laura Kervezee, co-chairs of the Light for Public Health Initiative, explain how light acts as the master regulator of the body’s internal clock: it synchronises our physiology with the day outside, shapes mood and alertness, and times the release of melatonin, the hormone that governs sleep. The science is settled enough to act on, so the initiative has distilled it into 26 consensus statements on how light affects the body and well-being, written as practical, evidence-based guidance for individuals, employers, schools and cities. A compact 14-minute briefing on why good light is a public-health question, and what to do about it. Based on the authors’ article in LED professional Review #112.

deLIGHTed Talks #8: Good Light – Good Sleep

Full recording of deLIGHTed Talks #8, held online by LpS DIGITAL on 24 April 2025 (91 minutes). Dr. Renske Lok (Stanford University) shows that bright light during the day deepens nighttime sleep, reduces nighttime awakenings, improves sleep efficiency and lowers next-day sleep inertia. Dr. Jeffrey Hubbard (University of Lausanne / EPFL) compares how light and darkness drive sleep and wakefulness in nocturnal mice and day-active Sudanian grass rats. Chronobiologist Dr. Virginie Gabel, founder of Clock&Me, moderates the session and the discussion on what the findings mean for lighting design.
