Secure healthcare

Secure healthcare

At Designplan we recognise that for the secure healthcare sector, safety and service user comfort are primary drivers in the selection of lighting.

Many of our products contain features specifically designed to meet these objectives. Our secure healthcare fittings are designed to be impact resistant up to IK16 and to help prevent the attachment of ligatures and avoid the dangers associated with them. With a variety of sizes, switching, and lamp options, they can cater for many applications, ranging from bedhead units with local control, to corridors, stairways and circulation areas.

In addition to providing a safer environment for staff and service users, we assist in maintaining bright, efficient, hygienically clean environments. Many of our products have smooth surfaces to facilitate ease in cleaning, and our gear trays and other components allow speedy maintenance and an opportunity to upgrade technologies, without comprising the robust, tamper-proof design.

Lighting can be a large source of energy consumption in secure hospitals and care homes, often accounting for as much as 35 – 40% of total electrical consumption. Designplan’s energy efficient LED fittings can be fitted with a variety of dimming and sensor options to ensure that luminaires are only at full output when actually required, keeping both energy bills and the total cost of ownership low.
