A hospital, lit end to end.
Walk through every area of a hospital and see which Carden luminaire fits each one — from the parking lot to the operating room — with the compliance, comfort and continuity healthcare demands.
The challenge of lighting a hospital
Five environments, one demand: health.
Hygiene & infection control
Sealed, smooth, washable surfaces that don't trap dust or bacteria, with high IP ratings in critical areas.
True color for diagnosis
CRI 90+ to read skin tones and samples accurately, flicker-free and glare-free.
Patient & staff comfort
Dimmable, indirect, low-glare light: rest for those healing and precision for those caring.
Continuity & emergency
Fixtures that run 24/7 with low maintenance, plus emergency lighting and signage that keep egress safe during an outage.
Stop 01 / 05
Access, façade & parking
First impressions and safety start outside. A well-lit façade guides patients and ambulances, and uniform parking removes dark spots all night long.
Stop 03 / 05
Corridors, circulation & ER
Corridors guide and run nonstop. Continuous, glare-free light seen from a gurney, with brighter triage and signed egress routes that hold during an outage.
Stop 04 / 05
Operating rooms & critical areas
In the OR, ICU and clean rooms light is clinical: high levels and CRI ≥90 for general field lighting, sealed washable surfaces, and fixtures that don't trap particles.

Stop 05 / 05
Patient rooms
The room balances rest and care. Indirect, dimmable light for the patient, an exam level for staff and individual control — all with true color and no glare for someone lying down.
What we solve
From the façade to the operating room, one conversation.
One supplier for the whole hospital: per-area specification, photometric design and delivery — compliant and backed by Carden.
- Per-area levels aligned with the lighting standard (NOM-025-STPS)
- Infection control with sealed, washable luminaires
- True color (CRI 90+) wherever diagnosis requires it
- Emergency and egress that hold during an outage
- Real savings: high efficiency running 24/7
Lux levels are reference values. The final level for each area is set by a photometric design per NOM-025-STPS and the project. The surgical task light is a specialized fixture outside this catalog.
