Critical Care Unit
Royal Preston Hospital, Preston
The team at Royal Preston specified the Aspire LED Sky Ceilings on these initial first two phases of their expanded and refurbished, state of the art critical care unit. The unit features 14 state of the art bed spaces, including six isolation rooms.
The space benefits from numerous groupings of virtual skylights with expanded sky scene imagery (meaning no repeated patterns). The panels help to illuminate and soften this clinical space, connecting patients with the natural environment and reducing anxiety.

6CONTROLEach panel came with DALI dimmable, multi-lead plug-and-play LED drivers. These were linked to a multi-switch DALI wall control by the installation contractor.
