The guide divides a typical healthcare building into eight zones, one per chapter, from the entrance/waiting area to the car park. Throughout, advice is specific to the different areas and the challenges therein. A short list of suitable luminaire types will be found for each application zone. 

Readers will soon appreciate the significant impact that lighting can make on patient health and well-being; understand the contribution that Thorn’s performance, efficiency and comfort (PEC) programme can make to good lighting and be able to select lighting techniques and equipment which fulfils their design requirements without making excessive energy demands. 

It is hoped that the new brochure will find a place not only on the shelves but constantly in the hands of all those concerned with healthcare lighting.
