RECOVER
Day-night rhythm
Light aff ects well-being and health. Cool morning light promotes cortisol, the activating hor-
mone. In the evening, when the blue component is missing, the sleep hormone melatonin is
formed. High melatonin levels at night lead to more restful sleep, and we enjoy a positive start
to the day through an increased release of the happiness hormone serotonin. The RECOVER
luminaire taps this knowledge and supports the natural regeneration of patients, as the high
indirect illuminance provides clear impulses to the inner clock..
Four lights in one
RECOVER combines four luminaires. Indirect, homogeneous ceiling lighting provides daytime
brightness for the patient, while the examination light is used for doctor’s visits.
A reading light ensures refl ection-free illumination of the reading area. The nurse night light
mounted on the side of the luminaire was integrated to avoid dazzling the patient at night.
Schedule light moods
The aim was to make RECOVER particularly user-friendly. Lighting moods and intensity levels
can be programmed with simple software. You can even string together several diff erent pro-
grammes to form an annual schedule. The intensity and colour temperature changes automat-
ically with the season. The factory settings already store diff erent daily sequences, which you
can quickly adapt to your time requirements.
The next generation of contemporary healthcare lighting, RECOVER has been developed to
simulate a natural light pattern. This is achieved by the dynamically changing colour tempera-
ture. It varies from activating morning light to a sleep-promoting evening glow. The luminaire
supports the natural regeneration of the patient by supporting the human biorhythm. The 4-in-1
system includes ambient light, a reading light, a nurse’s night light, and an examination light
with a high CRI value which displays amorphous three-dimensional surfaces such as the skin
correctly. RECOVER is designed to be particularly user-friendly. Lighting programmes can be
quickly and fl exibly adapted.
