Mental Healthcare Lighting
Specialist anti-ligature and robust mental healthcare lighting that balances safety, wellbeing and performance.
Supporting wellbeing and calm
As a leading specialist designer and manufacturer of mental healthcare lighting, we create thoughtfully designed luminaires that support wellbeing and everyday safety. Our products balance calm aesthetics and circadian supportive technology with robust, tested performance. We believe lighting should feel considered, human and reassuring, not clinical. By combining careful design with proven quality, we help create environments that feel welcoming, dependable and built to last. Our MelaGen lighting technology can support circadian rhythms, reduce distress and create a therapeutic environment. In mental healthcare, lighting is not just functional.
Thoughtful lighting design can:
- Support circadian rhythms and healthier sleep cycles
- Reduce distress and agitation
- Contribute to more therapeutic environments
- Provide safe, reliable lighting for staff
Lighting designed for safety, tested for peace of mind
Colour and Customisation
As part of our commitment to patient centred design, we offer a selection of durable high quality paint options that help our luminaires naturally fit into a variety of care environments. Our finish options include both standard and soft, pastel options chosen to promote a sense of calm and reduce visual stress without being overwhelming. Additional colours may be available on request to suit project branding, ward differentiation and wayfinding strategies.
Performance you can trust
Understanding that well-being and rehabilitation are important elements of mental healthcare means that our safety considerations are balanced with design and development for future needs. At Light Years Ahead, we work with you to ensure that your lighting does not contribute to abuse or self-harm and that the fittings cannot result in burns or other accidents or incidents.
