Focal Point Akeso Brings Integrated, Patient‑Centered Lighting to Healthcare
Focal Point’s Akeso family introduces a streamlined, modern approach to healthcare lighting that supports both patient comfort and clinical performance. Designed for patient rooms and adjacent care areas, Akeso focuses on delivering ambient, exam and reading illumination within a single, cohesive form.
Akeso is available in two lens profiles, Peak and Pitch. Both provide soft ambient light and powerful exam illumination, with exam mode delivering an average of 100 foot‑candles on the bed to meet ANSI/IES RP 29 25 requirements. The reading mode offers low‑glare comfort and can integrate with a pillow speaker for patient control.
Peak features a symmetrical profile suited for single or tandem installations, while Pitch introduces a subtle angle optimized for tandem overbed layouts. The consistent visual appearance across modes helps patient rooms feel more unified and less clinical.
Durability and cleanability, both critical factors in healthcare settings, are central to Akeso’s design. A gasketed, impact‑modified acrylic lens offers strength up to 10 times greater than standard acrylic, and the antimicrobial matte satin white finish supports infection‑control protocols. NSF and IP65 ratings reinforce suitability for demanding healthcare spaces. Maintenance is simplified through room‑side access to drivers and LED boards, reducing disruption in occupied areas.
Installation is straightforward thanks to the compact 8″ × 4′ × 5″ form factor and a master–satellite configuration that requires only one power feed per luminaire pair. This makes Akeso well suited for both grid and drywall ceilings, and for facilities seeking consistent performance across patient rooms, exam rooms, ambulatory care areas, corridors and staff spaces.
Focal Point’s approach reflects Legrand’s broader mission to improve how people experience the spaces where they live, work and heal.
