Nightingale Launches Embrace Overbed Lighting
Nightingale™, part of Acuity Brands, has introduced its Embrace™ overbed luminaire, an innovative new form factor for multifunction patient lighting.
Embrace was created to provide the best possible solution to assist in relieving patient stress due to overhead light. While traditional overbed lighting can become a direct and ever-present source of glare for the patient, Embrace pushes light outside of direct patient view, reducing glare, and contributing to a calmer and more humane setting for the patient. Applications include patient rooms, NICU, senior living, long-term care, and recovery rooms.
The multifunction patient bed luminaire offers ambient, exam, and night observation modes, with an optional dedicated reading light. Its curved overbed design situates itself in the patient’s periphery instead of directly overhead, reducing glare and enveloping the patient in comfortable illumination. At the same time, it meets IES RP-29 suggested light levels for a patient room, ensuring that medical professionals have the necessary illumination to conduct examinations or procedures.
Embrace is a large-form surface-mount, which simplifies installation and provides greater design freedom in spaces with shallow plenums and crowded patient room ceilings. Suitable for installations in spaces with both grid ceilings and hard ceilings. Applicable for both new construction and renovation opportunities. It pairs with the SensorSwitch™ sealed wall switch and low voltage controller for plug-and-play intuitive control and can be integrated into the patient’s pillow speaker control handset.
“With Embrace overbed, we were inspired by Florence Nightingale’s refusal to accept the status quo,” said Ben Grindle, Director of Product Development, Nightingale. “We’ve broken the linear mold, freed ourselves from the grid, and changed the shape of overbed lighting.”
