Embrace Overbed Lighting Helps Relieve Patient Stress from Glare

Nightingale, a brand within the Acuity Brands Lighting portfolio, introduces its Embrace overbed luminaire for healthcare. Embrace was created to relieve patient stress from overhead light. Traditional overbed lighting can be a direct and constant source of glare for the patient; Embrace pushes light outside of the patient’s direct view to reduce glare and contribute to a calmer and more humane setting.

Ideal for patient rooms, NICU, senior living, long-term care, and recovery rooms, the multifunction luminaire offers ambient, exam, and night observation modes with an optional dedicated reading light. The curved overbed design situates itself in the patient’s periphery to envelop the patient in comfortable illumination, while still meeting IES RP-29 suggested light levels for patient rooms to ensure that medical professionals have enough light to conduct exams or procedures. The large-form surface-mount format simplifies installation and provides greater design freedom in spaces with shallow plenums and crowded room ceilings. It’s suitable for installation in spaces with both grid ceilings and hard ceilings and is applicable for both new construction and renovations.
