“Any clinic wishing to be ranked amongst the most prestigious in<br />
Switzerland, like the <strong>Interlaken</strong> <strong>fmi</strong> <strong>Hospital</strong>, should be at the cutting<br />
edge of technology. That applies as much for medical equipment like<br />
the ultra-modern 3-Tesla MRI scanner, as it does for the lighting.”<br />
Bruno Brugger, Project Manager Healthcare ZH
Functional LED lighting<br />

Background<br />
The <strong>Hospital</strong> <strong>Interlaken</strong> in Unterseen is the Headquarters of the<br />
regional <strong>Hospital</strong> centre Frutigen Meiringen <strong>Interlaken</strong> <strong>Hospital</strong>s AG<br />
(spitäler <strong>fmi</strong> ag). In addition to the extended primary care facilities,<br />
it offers a wide range of specialised and paramedical services. The<br />
number of patients handled is increasing significantly year on year.<br />
The challenge<br />
In early 2011, the <strong>Interlaken</strong> <strong>fmi</strong> <strong>Hospital</strong> decided to install an<br />
ultra-modern 3-Tesla MRI scanner from <strong>Philips</strong>; one of the first<br />
hospitals in Switzerland to do so. In order to meet the space<br />
requirements, it was required to extend the buildings on the west<br />
side of the complex, and link them to the existing building via<br />
a wide corridor. The specifications for the new pavilion had to<br />
correspond to the high performance of the scanner and were<br />
very demanding. They also had to be applied to neighbouring<br />
spaces in the older buildings. An important part of the requirements<br />
was a modern, energy-efficient lighting system with dimming control.<br />
The solution<br />
The lighting solution from <strong>Philips</strong> stipulated the use of LED lighting.<br />
LEDs are ideally suited to guarantee a constant level of illumination<br />
while saving on energy costs. Installation started with the MRI room<br />

Results<br />
• Up to 60% energy savings<br />
• Flexible lighting design via dimmable solution<br />
• Low maintenance costs thanks to 50,000 hour life-span<br />
in the pavilion, continuing to the open plan control, examination and<br />
waiting rooms. Since February 2011, a total of 18 DayZone luminaires<br />
have provided a uniform appearance and excellent quality of light.<br />
Their fresh design with twin rings and rounded surfaces are especially<br />
attractive. The DALI control system offers great flexibility, as the<br />
DayZone is capable of being dimmed and areas zoned for individual<br />
control. For general lighting in the changing cubicles and toilets, and<br />
as an addition in the control room, the lighting choice was LuxSpace,<br />
an LED Downlight with higher system efficiency than traditional<br />
compact fluorescent luminaires.<br />
Benefits<br />
Thanks to the innovative integration of LED luminaires, the <strong>Interlaken</strong><br />
<strong>fmi</strong> <strong>Hospital</strong> boasts high light quality with good colour reproduction and<br />
a high feel-good effect. The results also speak for themselves from an<br />
economic point of view. Compared to the previous traditional lighting,<br />
energy savings of up to 70% can be achieved. Dimming via the DALI<br />
control increases this percentage value even more. The service life<br />
of up to 50,000 hours leads to a significant reduction in maintenance<br />
costs and time. The DayZone’s twin ring design is also very compelling.<br />
It contributes to a special atmosphere that is appreciated by patients<br />
and staff alike. As a result, not only is the new MRI scanner shown in<br />
its best light, the entire department is.
