Nimbus
A luminaire for hospitalized children to support their treatment psychologically with color therapy.
Hospital environments are stressful and uncomfortable for children. When hospitalized children reflect anxiety to their treatment, this can slow down their healing processes. 'Nimbus', with its cloud form and colorful lights in different modes, provides a color therapy for child patients. Children can observe color transitions of light around Nimbus in three different modes and via the remote control can choose which color they want Nimbus to be. The product provides dimmable warm and cool light options, as well as a specialized power LED examination light located in its centre for hospital staff. The examination light can be adjusted to illuminate only in an intended area, without disturbing the patient.
