Flexible lighting for well-being
VITA MED
Functional bed light with homely design
The quality of the stay in a healthcare facility contributes significantly to the healing process. Typically, however, wards and patient rooms often appear uninviting due to the technical fixtures and medical necessities. The VITA MED bedside light system has been developed by the zweithaler design studio, in collaboration with XAL and MEDGAS-Technik, with the aim of creating a more homely environment.

Design and flexibility
It has been possible to create a pleasant room atmosphere by integrating key elements, such as the light module, standard rail unit and supply duct, in a compact, stylish design for the wall area behind the bed. This slim and flexible modular system allows lighting planners to use a wide variety of room configurations. The separate modules for lighting and mounting rails have a matching form and can be individually combined and mounted on the supply duct. Due to its compact size, the bed light is hardly noticeable and integrates harmoniously into the interior design. Separate plug-and play light insets allow for simple cleaning and tool-free maintenance of the system. The light can be controlled via conventional light switches and the patient's hand-held device so that day-to-day life in the care facility runs smoothly.

Easy to assemble and maintain
VITA MED is based on a modular system that is easy to assemble and flexible, allowing it to adapt to current needs at any time. Due to the simple mounting, light insets of the corresponding module can be mounted, adjusted or maintained quickly and easily. The converter is also installed directly on the light insets and makes mounting easier. In addition, two terminals are fitted on each light insets, which electrically connect the individual modules to each other. The adaptability of the system also allows beds to be moved around flexibly, as the light insets or blind covers can be readily replaced or retrofitted.

The VITA MED lighting system fits seamlessly into any architectural design. When used in combination with fascia panels, it offers further options for decorative design to make the patient room more homely and comfortable. Depending on the type of fascia panel and the space requirement, the appropriate supply duct can be selected and fitted with modules of your choice to match the room design. The small cover offers the option of making the supply duct disappear behind the fascia panel. With the medium cover, the duct is flush with the fascia panel, and with the large cover, the supply duct is flush with the indirect module.
Regulatory standards & specifications
The products used by VITA MED comply with the basic performance specifications of the MDR – Medical Device Regulation (EU) 2017/745 of the European Parliament and Council of April 5, 2017. VITA MED is a modular supply unit for use in medical rooms and is manufactured strictly in accordance with the latest state of the art standards (EN ISO 11197:2019). The light insets from VITA MED meet all the key lighting requirements for patient rooms. Both the modified value of 200 lx and the minimum illuminance value of 100 lx, defined at floor level (see EN 12464-1:2021), are achieved. An illuminance of 300 lx is maintained for the reading light and the light for simple examinations. The modified values of 750 lx can be achieved by adding several indirect light insets. With all light insets, the glare rating falls below the standardised limit value of UGR ≤ 19, so that VITA MED provides the best light for both nursing staff and patients.
Control light scenes automatically
In using VITA MED, the desired light intensity in the room is the result of the combination of direct and indirect light insets. Thanks to user-friendly DALI control, available as an option, up to 16 light scenes can be saved and easily called up by staff using a touch panel. One possible option would be, for example, the combination of reading and examination light with two supplementary indirect light scenes.
Up to 8 switching or dimming buttons and up to 4 dynamic light programs can be assigned on the optional master unit. One possible option is an automatic, indirect intensity curve with reading or examination light that can be switched on individually. Different daylight durations can be sequenced together to form a near-natural annual light program. Up to 8 additional lights can be dimmed or switched.
Example of patient room planning
Draw inspiration for the design of comfortable patient rooms from the examples of planning options using the VITA MED bed light. In the current fl oor plan of a two-bed room, the beds are placed slightly off set against opposite fascia panelled walls.
Full spectrum LED
The new XPECTRUM LED from XAL provides light with a positive biological influence on health. The reduced proportion of blue light and the increased cyan values minimise the exposure to blue light on the eye through natural frequency distribution. This stimulates the melanopic light response, which promotes concentration and improves the quality of sleep. The excellent colour rendering of CRI ≥ 98, with TM 30-15 Rf = 98 and Rg = 101, also enables improved visual comfort.
Melanopic response
Light and light quality are key factors for health. The correct lighting creates an atmosphere that supports patient recovery and provides nursing staff with a positive work environment. Using cylindrical illuminance, the biological support effect is 371 lx at 3000 K and 299 lx at 4000 K. For those aged over 50, these values must be increased by 50 %. VITA MED exceeds this requirement, both for patients and healthcare workers. VITA MED also meets the requirement for biological activation with 75-year-old users, even taking into account the age-specific correction factors in accordance with DIN T/S 5031-100.
Features
Well-being lighting
VITA wall
VITA has been developed, based on the technology of our VITA MED system luminaire, to meet the high specifi cations of the health and care sector. The simple design of the luminaire blends in particularly well with the interior of hospitals. The ease of installation and maintenance also make VITA highly attractive. The direct component of the light, radiating from the bed, provides a pleasant spatial eff ect as well as precise use as a reading and examination light. The indirect component of the light ensures pleasant illumination of the ceiling. The direct and indirect light components can also be controlled separately, allowing the room reading and examination light to be individually combined. The luminaire can also be used as a night light using the dimming function. This range of functionality means that lighting with VITA also meets the requirements for a treatment room. VITA has the further advantage that it is not coupled directly to the supply duct. This means that single phase and three phase power as well as medical gas fi ttings can be connected independently.
