Improving Behavioral Health

Illuminating Wellness: The Purpose of Behavioral Health Lighting

Lighting plays a profound role in influencing mood, behavior, and overall mental wellbeing. In behavioral health settings, where patients may already be experiencing heightened stress or anxiety, the impact of lighting becomes even more significant.

Research consistently demonstrates the significant impact of lighting on patient outcomes in behavioral health settings.

Studies have shown that environments with well-designed lighting can:

• Reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety

• Improve sleep quality and duration

• Increase patient satisfaction and engagement in therapy

• Accelerate recovery rates

By addressing the specific sensory needs and challenges faced by individuals with mental health conditions, behavioral health lighting contributes to a holistic approach to care that encompasses both physical and psychological wellbeing.

Our Approach to Behavioral Health Lighting

In the realm of healthcare design, every detail plays a vital role in enhancing patient wellbeing and aiding in recovery. Among these details, lighting stands out as a crucial factor, especially in behavioral health environments.

At Visa Lighting, we are dedicated to crafting lighting solutions that are robust yet non-institutional in style. Recognizing the importance of aesthetics in improving the patient’s experience with behavioral health environments, we’ve created luminaires which promote a sense of calmness by integrating sleek designs with state-of-the-art technology. This commitment goes beyond mere functionality, aiming to enhance the overall experience of patients, their families, and staff within these environments.

Our Products

Our behavioral health luminaires are constructed for ligature, impact, and tamper resistance. This is achieved by using the right components, made from carefully selected materials.

Tamper Resistant Screws

To prevent being opened or damaged, tamper-resistant screws with special heads that can only be removed with a specific tool are used.

Pick Proof Caulk

To reduce damage and ligature risk, many fixtures require caulk that is pickproof around the housing, especially if the surface is not smooth.

Certifications & Listings:

Mounting Brackets

Luminaires must be securely fastened to structural blocking using supplemental screws and/or mounting brackets, according to installation instructions.

Polycarbonate Lens

High abuse luminaires need polycarbonate lenses in place of (or over) typical diffusers to protect inner components and to allow light through.

Testing

While there is no universally upheld standard for fixtures in behavioral health, our engineers evaluate each luminaire according to the New York State Office of Mental Health’s testing model. We also conduct our impact testing based on the IEC IK standard for impact resistance.

Ligature Resistance

All patient-facing components where two or more materials meet must be thoroughly tested for ligature resistance. This means that objects cannot be wedged in or looped around any particular spot to create an anchor point. To test this, engineers attempt to secure a ligature to luminaires both before and after repeatedly applying mechanical impact or pressure to the luminaire while it is installed.

Gig™

Environmental Safety Risk Assessment

Safety Risk Assessment Tool

Whether or not a particular behavioral health setting needs ligature-resistant lighting depends on two factors:

• The patient supervision level

• Their risk for self-harm

By weighing these factors against one another, designers and clinical staff can discuss the risk levels of each space. The chart is an assessment tool developed by James Hunt and David Sine and published in the Behavioral Health Design Guide. Each quadrant includes areas of a similar risk level:

LEVEL I: Patients not allowed (staff break rooms and meeting rooms, maintenance areas)

LEVEL II: Patients are highly supervised (group rooms, counseling rooms, corridors)

LEVEL III: Patients are under minimal supervision (day rooms, open nursing stations)

LEVEL IV: Patients spend a great deal of time alone with minimal/no supervision (bedrooms, bathrooms)

LEVEL V: Patients are newly admitted or present potential unknown risks (admission rooms, seclusion rooms, exam rooms)

SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS

Planning for Risk Levels

Level 1 Risk Level Plan

For this large-scale behavioral health project, the design team used their own risk assessment tool to evaluate which design elements should be chosen for each area. This model uses Low Risk, Medium Risk, and High Risk categories, determined by that area’s safety (potential patient self-harm) and resiliency (harm to the environment).

Room Layout Credit: Architecture + NBBJ

Welcome Area

Lobbies should be inviting and relaxing. What new patients and visitors see there can impact their comfort level in the space, and even how they feel about treatment.

Staff Spaces

Therapeutic design positively impacts staff as well as patients. Areas where staff takes breaks and conducts meetings should evoke a homelike atmosphere.

Corridors

To avoid an institutional aesthetic and encourage socialization, corridor lighting should be dimmer than typical hospitals and be indirect if possible.

Group Rooms

Group rooms host supervised activities like classes, group therapy, and celebrations. Luminaires should be dimmable and provide task lighting.

Powder Coat Paint Finishes

With no solvents or hazardous materials, our powder coat painting process is more consistent, durable, and environmentally friendly than conventional liquid paint. Most of our products are offered in 20 rich and enduring powder coat paint finishes. Powder coating eliminates runs, drips and sags during the painting process, and protects against chips, abrasions, UV light, chemicals, and heat (up to 400° F).

We also offer additional RAL colors and custom color matching for a slight premium charge.
