How can we help?

A comfortable and supportive NICU for families and staff

Having a baby in an intensive care unit is deeply emotional for families. Shared wards can make bonding harder, but personalised, calming lighting creates comfort and privacy. Dynamic scenes support every stage of a newborn's development, while nature-inspired lighting helps staff manage pressure, long hours and fatigue—promoting well-being for all.

NICU staff face long hours, high pressure and emotional strain. Thoughtful lighting supports daily routines 24/7, minimising disruptions for infants and families. Nature-inspired lighting compensates for limited daylight, while a welcoming nurses' station fosters enhanced interaction with parents.

Personalisation for a more calming and private experience

In the NICU, a thoughtful lighting design plays a key role in creating an atmosphere that offers greater comfort, privacy and emotional support:

Intuitive controls let parents shape a private, soothing space
Calming scenes reduce stress and ease bonding
Dynamic lighting adapts to moments of care and connection

Supporting infant development in a safer environment

A nurturing NICU environment supports more than recovery—it helps fragile lives grow stronger:

Tunable lighting adapts to each stage of early development
Soft, stress-reducing light protects from harsh stimuli
Disinfection lighting and smart hygiene solutions that ensure compliance with hand hygiene promote safety and sterility

Optimising staff workflows and patient care

An NICU should run like clockwork. Our lighting solutions and smart systems help staff to stay alert and workflows to run smoothly:

Task-specific lighting reduces fatigue and errors
Real-time location services streamline equipment tracking and enable faster incident response
Smarter workflows enhance efficiency and patient safety
