Abstract
A medical surgery or examination room and a method for illuminating such a room, wherein a substantial part of the room or the entire room is illuminated with coloured lighting different from white lighting in order to achieve beneficial psychological effects or, primarily, to improve working condition. For example, green light may be provided behind the monitors used by a surgeon during operation and red light in a zone behind a surgeon during operation or examination. The lighting may be controlled by a computer with a touch screen interface.

Method for illuminating a medical surgery or examination room, where a number of light sources are in operation in the surgery or examination room, where the light sources generate light with different colours, where the light sources are controlled by at least one processor, where the processor regulates the light sources for generating light of different colours, wherein at least the following steps of preparation are initially performed by the processor:
- a) determining the different tasks for a surgery or examination in a surgery or examination room;
- b) determining the required personnel for each of these tasks;
- c) determining a colour specific effect desired for the personnel performing the specific tasks;
- d) analysing which part of the room is used for the different tasks identified;
- e) dividing the room into a number of zones depending on the specific tasks and the specific personnel;
- f) assigning a specific colour to each of the zones in order to achieve the desired effects;
- to illuminate the zones with light having the respective specific, assigned colours.
