The existing lighting in the corridors and common rooms should be replaced by a technologically advanced lighting solution. The higher light quality was aimed at increasing the residents' safety. Multiple lighting scenarios shall provide illumination depending on daylight intensity. At night the illumination level will be reduced to a minimum. For safety reasons the lights will switch on even at night as soon as somebody enters the corridor.


The VANERA ceiling luminaire has been equipped with the biodynamic VISUAL TIMING LIGHT (VTL) light controller. Motion sensors in the corridors ensure sufficient illumination at night. This will minimize risk of falling, disorientation and anxieties. The personnel has the ability to override the predefined illumination scenes to increase the light intensity on overcast days. The override switch also ensures that in the event of an emergency the personnel may activate full light intensity. The ideal illuminance brightens the walls. Paintings and exhibits are clearly visible.
