BalanceCare NURSES' STATION
Since our founding in 1991, Axis Lighting has always been a family-ownedcompany, with an emphasis on people. Our diversity translates intoarchitectural designs that transcend the ordinary and performance thatexceeds the norm. We’ve taken our balanced approach to lighting into thehealthcare market to provide solutions that not only function properly,but also provide beautiful, timeless design for all users of the space.Form meeting function – it’s in our DNA.2BalancedCare
BalancedCare NURSES' STATIONNurses’ stations hold prominence both as destination and hub oflife-giving information. They often work in coordination with adjacentcorridors, requiring similar solutions for safe navigation.Increased daytime ambient light levels, reduced nighttime levels andlow-illuminance steplights help staff safely circulate from zone to zone– nurses’ station to corridor to patient room. Lighting should alsosupport the visual and non-visual needs of nurses of all ages, whowork an inordinate number of hours and defy normal 24-hourschedules. BalancedCare by Axis brings it all together.www.BalancedCare.AxisLighting.com3

BalancedCare TECHNOLOGIESBalancedCare by Axis Lighting creates the requiredbalance between innovation and patient/healthcareworker wellness. This is achieved by combiningBeWell Optics , BeWell Controls and BeSealed luminaire construction in the next generation ofhealthcare solutions.BeWell light guide optics provides glare-free, comfortablelighting that supports the visual tasks of staff, andenhances the overall wellbeing of patients.BeWell Controls is an intuitive, “controls-agnostic”approach with intelligent patient bed controlcompatibility, as well as wireless and POE; and spectralprogrammability provided by tunable white and BIOSSkyBlue technologies.BeSealed ties it all together with product design featuresthat support easy maintenance and cleanability, that meetthe most rigorous independent listings in the ROLS7TM
BeWell OpticsProviding Multidimensional Distributionand Immersive IlluminationPrecisely coded and aligned molecules in the light guideshape LED output, from individual points of light, in allthree dimensions. The science is complicated. The result iseasy – controlled distribution that puts light only where youneed it. Direct, indirect, asymmetric or a combination with highefficacy performance, no matter the distribution.8BalancedCare BeWellTMOPTICSVisual comfort takes on a whole new meaning. Instead ofreflected glare, the unique light guide produces comfortablydiffuse illumination for a more natural appearance. It matters mostwhen placed in line of sight, like a bed light directly above thepatient. That’s where comfort is put to the test.
BeWell OpticsInnovative Optical System Directs LightWhere It's Needed — ComfortablyBeWell Optics delivers lighting that promotes a healing environment. BeWell is a patent pending, materials-based technology that usesmolecular optics to direct - not reflect - light. The result is amazingly uniform distribution, without glare, shadowing, or pixelation. BeWellprovides better visual acuity for tasks, and softer, healing visual comfort in the space.AMBIENTBeWell Optics replaces traditional segmented reflectors to dispersethe light uniformly across the entire lens.EXAMIn the same luminaire, BeWell optics balances concentrated higherintensity light for examination with softer ambient light.SEALED LIGHT GUIDEUnique patent pending sealed light guidedesign, optimized for optics, infection controland multi-function controllabilitywww.BalancedCare.AxisLighting.com9

Nurses' StationWELLNESSNurses' schedules are erratic – day shift, permanentnight shift, rotating night shift – causing circadiandisruption and dips in alertness. Spectrally tunabletask lighting, views to nature, sufficient contrast onmonitors – a lighting system tailored to personalschedules and visual needs can provide balance totheir days, nights and overall health and wellbeing.Private spaces dedicated to personal light therapy,or perhaps just meditation, offer refuge and anoutlet to release the emotions of difficult days.BeWellTMLayers of light may never be more important thanin nurses' stations. When eyes need to adapt toscreen brightness then jump to tedious visual taskssuch as reading scribbled prescriptions or noteson paper, eye fatigue sets in. Luminaire opticsthat spread light uniformly and without glare helpbalance a space as busy and complex as a nurses'station; they mitigate discomfort, prevent washouton monitors, and enliven a hub of information andcaregiving. They are BeWell Optics.OPTICSBeWellCONTROLS16FUNCTIONAL OPTICS & VISUAL COMFORTTMINTELLIGENT CONTROLPatient controlled pillow speakers that relay to thenurses' station, or automatic 24-hour programs withmanual overrides for ambient lighting, give nursesthe control they need for their station, as well asfor patient rooms and corridors within their zone.Sensors that provide asset tracking to easily locateequipment save time and energy, and improvehospital efficiency.BalancedCare
