HCL lighting at Gelderse Vallei Hospital in Ede
At a department of Gelderse Vallei Hospital in Ede, we, as Loerakker Led Line, have fully utilized our expertise to create an innovative and tailor-made lighting solution. We not only adapted existing fixtures to meet the specific needs of the client but also designed, produced, delivered, and installed entirely new fixtures. Everything was implemented with wirelessly controlled Human Centric Lighting, allowing the lighting to be perfectly aligned with the natural day and night rhythm of people. This was all made possible by our self-developed Allbee system, which excels in flexibility and ease of use. Thanks to this solution, we have contributed to a pleasant, efficient, and well-being-enhancing environment within the hospital.
This innovative lighting technology creates an optimal light climate that aligns with the natural day and night rhythm, fostering a harmonious environment. The dynamic lighting adjusts automatically, significantly enhancing patient well-being while also improving the comfort and productivity of healthcare staff. Research has shown that well-tuned lighting positively impacts the sleep-wake cycle and the overall recovery process of patients. Thanks to the wireless control capabilities, the lighting can be effortlessly tailored to the specific needs and functions of each space, from hallways to nurse stations. This makes it not only a forward-thinking solution but also a flexible and efficient choice that contributes to greater versatility and user-friendliness in the healthcare environment.
In addition, this technology contributes to sustainability. By using energy-efficient LED light sources combined with smart controls, energy consumption is significantly reduced. This aligns perfectly with the current focus on environmentally friendly and sustainable solutions within the healthcare sector. The long lifespan of the fixtures also results in lower maintenance costs and less waste, offering both financial and ecological benefits in the long term. All fixtures are developed and produced in Amersfoort, ensuring not only high-quality craftsmanship but also a minimal carbon footprint. By keeping production local, transportation is minimized, which is better for the environment.
At Gelderse Vallei Hospital, comfort, innovation, and sustainability come together in a future-proof lighting experience that enhances both patient well-being and staff efficiency. With modern technology and energy-efficient solutions, an environment is created that is not only pleasant to be in but also contributes to a sustainable future.

“At first, the lighting takes some getting used to, but over time you realize how pleasant it is to work with. When you now enter a department with different lighting, you really notice the difference!”
