Operating theatre

Supporting surgeons with precision-driven illumination

Lighting brings focus, comfort and control to the OR. It can help to:

Reduce fatigue and boost alertness
Adapt to any procedure or team
Ease patients' stress
Support hygiene with smart, sealed fittings and hygiene protocol integration

How can we help?

Lighting that enhances surgical precision

Operating rooms are high-pressure environments with varying needs. Lighting must adapt to the specific roles of surgeons, nurses and support staff. It should ease eye strain, reduce fatigue and lower stress to help reassure patients—especially when they're awake during surgery.

Reduce fatigue

Surgical focus can't afford to slip—especially during long procedures.

Flicker-free light minimises eye strain and visual fatigue
High CRI reveals accurate tissue tone and detail
Lighting with high melanopic lux helps to maintain the circadian balance to keep teams alert and concentrated throughout demanding shifts

Task-specific lighting

No two surgeries—or team members—are exactly alike. Lighting needs to adapt to them:

Tunable white and coloured light adapt to each task
Reduces glare and enhances monitor visibility
Custom scenes support smooth transitions between surgical and preparation phases

Reduce stress and anxiety

Surgery can be stressful—for patients and staff alike. Lighting can ease that strain by:

Creating a calming atmosphere with ambient, biophilic lighting
Using gentle colour transitions to reduce preoperative anxiety
Helping staff to relax and recover after high-pressure procedures

Reduce contamination risks

Infection risks demand more than routine cleaning—lighting must play its part too:

Sealed, easy-to-clean fixtures with high IP ratings help to maintain sterility
Smart systems trigger automated hygiene reminders
Integrated monitoring supports infection prevention protocols

Signify Interact Connected Lighting

IoT-enabled connected lighting can help to improve the staff and patient experience, while managing operations efficiently and effectively.

Scene management

Customisable lighting scenes adjust to different surgical procedures, ensuring optimal illumination.
Optimised lighting for detecting cyanosis using green, blue and ochre filter options.

Space management

One-touch adjustments allow staff to easily change lighting settings before a procedure.
Intuitive interfaces simplify operations, reducing distractions during critical moments.
Pre-set light modes optimise visibility for various tasks, from surgery to post-op care.
