Nimbus LED.next lights and translucent room dividers have been used successfully in the fitout of a large orthopaedic surgery.

The brief was simple: produce a sophisticated and original design for the workspace using light, bright colours, clear shapes and contemporary art.  Lighting was an essential element for both task oriented procedures, ambient and reception areas and importantly to light the art on the surgery walls.  Close collaboration with the Nimbus Group in the planning phase resulted in an LED solution which met the brief and had the added bonus of being environmentally friendly and maintenance free.
