Sufficient light and the right light have a positive effect on the wellbeing and the quality of life of elderly. In addition, bio dynamic lighting stimulates the day and night rhythms of older people. With the powerful, diffuse, dynamic light of DYDELL the appropriate light can easily be called up per activity.
Infirmity of old age unfortunately also means that eyesight decreases as the age increases. Both the lens and the cornea of older people become darker and more yellow and the pupils become smaller. In addition to the fact that the eyesight deteriorates, it has become clear that the reduced incidence of light on the retina during the daytime has an adverse effect on the maintenance of the sleep-wake rhythm. Over time, regulating the 24-hour rhythm of the human body deteriorates, especially in older people with dementia. A shortage of light stimuli disrupts the biological clock, i.e. the 24-hour rhythm of elderly which causes them to disorientate more quickly. A proper lighting ensures “better vision” and good control of the biological clock.

Our light sources are successfully used in healthcare institutions, because they produce a lot of diffuse light and have a high colour fastness (RA95). In addition, they produce dynamic light (so both functional and decorative light in one light source), as a result of which – depending on the time of day, or on the alternating functions of a space – the right light can easily be called up and thus the day/night rhythm can be stimulated.
In order to comply with the strict requirements of “good lighting for seniors” we always recommend starting with a calculated lighting plan. Based on the interior design plan or the existing set up we make a “spot plan” of light which enables us to know exactly where the type of light source is to be installed. This way the lighting plan prescribes the type of light source for (spot, wall lamp, pendant lamp etc.) and the amount of lumen output to be produced. What type of wall lamp or pendant lamp is ultimately incorporated can be determined depending on taste and budget. By illuminating your elderly care location with a lighting plan, you can be sure that you get a balanced lighting image that meets the strict requirements of “lighting for older people”.
