What is the role of accent lighting in healthcare lighting design?

The role of accent lighting in healthcare lighting design is to provide additional illumination to specific areas or elements that need to be emphasized or highlighted. This can be used to create a visual interest or focal point in the space, to draw attention to artwork or signage, or to highlight a specific feature of the architecture. In healthcare settings, accent lighting is often used in patient rooms to provide adjustable lighting for specific tasks such as reading, while also creating a calming and visually appealing environment. It can also be used in waiting areas and corridors to add visual interest, break up the monotony of the space, and create a comfortable atmosphere for visitors and patients. Overall, accent lighting plays an important role in creating a functional and aesthetically pleasing healthcare environment.
