Supplies guidance useful to those with a role in designing, installing, commissioning, and operation and maintenance of building services. Areas covered include lighting design considerations in healthcare buildings, lighting within public areas, specialised areas, healthcare centres and emergency and exterior lighting.

This edition of the Lighting Guide LG02 replaces the previous 1989 version. It has been produced to ensure that the Society of Light and Lighting's guidance is up to date with modern lighting practice and to illustrate varying ways of lighting the modern hospital environment. Illumination recommendations have been aligned where appropriate with European Standards on lighting and the Society of Light and Lighting's Code for Lighting.
