The solution

The lighting project for the Vila Franca de Xira Hospital, contemplated INDELAGUE’s product range, with solutions for specific spaces. Thus, in highlight, there were luminaries like the CT-AVT 228PBT/254PBT and the CT-THE 254PBT, with high level of airtightness and waterproofing (IP 65/65), upper side access and high quality lighting. It produces less visual strain, thus providing a better work environment and increased productivity. The luminaries were installed in big and small surgery rooms and in the dining room. In traffic areas, waiting rooms, in the disinfection room, in the SAS (Special Airlock System) room and in the newborns room, was installed the Downlight DYNA / IP with IP 65/44.
