Opportunity

The challenge on site.

The Maternal/Newborn wing needed an energy-saving replacement for aging fixtures that would raise light quality, lower maintenance, and present a calmer, more architectural corridor experience for families and staff.

Illumisoft Lighting Corp.'s ECOWing R Series retrofit uses patented optical film for low-glare, indirect light at specified levels, with high efficacy suited to healthcare energy and comfort goals.

Corridor upgrades were completed first, with plans to extend the same fixtures into maternity rooms.

“The change in the ward is amazing, the mothers seem to feel better in the hallways where we upgraded versus their rooms that still have the old fixtures. Night and day.”
