A Bright Idea to Increase Patient Satisfaction: Dimmable Lights

“Patients reported that brighter lighting during daylight hours felt pleasant and healthy, and lower light levels at night (dimmer, but not dark) replaced anxiety with calm and engendered a feeling of security.” ^*

Numerous studies like the one quoted here have shown that a patient’s ability to control their room lighting enhances their stay. Now, hospitals can let their patients dim the lights through the use of Curbell’s low voltage controllers.

• Easily adds dimming capabilities to any patient room with fluorescent or LED lighting.
• Installs in the headwall, ceiling, or lighting fixture.
• Gives your patients control of up to three room features, including lights, heating/cooling, and even motorized shades, drapes, or doors.
