ArchLIGHT Summit

When it comes to patient and staff safety, behavioral health/high abuse facilities need light fixtures that are tested and proven to perform to the highest standard in these specialty environments.  This carefully designed vignette will help demonstrate the importance of behavioral health/high abuse luminaires and interior design elements.

All items in these spaces need to be engineered to meet the rigorous requirements of the New York State Office of Mental Health (NYS-OMH) and other industry recommendations. In the last several decades, behavioral healthcare has evolved dramatically – alongside our societal understanding of mental illness. Treatment objectives have changed from symptom control to patient-centered recovery. These changes permeate every element of behavioral health/high abuse facility design, including lighting.

Come experience some of the key components in a behavioral healthcare setting and speak with Subject Matter Experts.
