Today’s patients require more than quality

care and advanced treatments. They expect

and deserve a healthcare environment that

actively promotes well-being. Research

indicates that an aesthetically-pleasing

healthcare atmosphere not only contributes

to the perception of superior care, it truly

enhances patient outcomes.† Today’s

healthcare providers gain a competitive edge

by appealing to their patient’s senses.

Traxon & e:cue understands the complexities

of creating an aesthetically-pleasing and

functional healthcare environment; our

comprehensive lighting solutions instantly

infuse spaces with serenity and hope, subtly

putting guests at ease.

In addition to improving patient well-being,

the full system lighting solutions offered by

energy savings, staff satisfaction, and facility

reputation. Our flexible fixtures and intelligent

controls ensure flawless integration into any

space, rendering the potential enhancements

as limitless as the imagination.

From radiant balustrades and backlit coves,

to shimmering walls and ceilings, Traxon &

e:cue’s offerings merge expression with light,

creating distinctive and unforgettable

healthcare environments where patients and

providers thrive.

Health is not simply a physical state - it’s

also a state of mind. In healthcare

environments, light is the natural choice to

elevate a patient’s state of mind, as it

intrinsically communicates the promise of

health and well-being. Dynamic lighting

products from Traxon & e:cue deliver on

that promise, engaging the senses and

inspiring hope.

From lighting solutions that mimic the daily

path of the sun, to installations that

change color with the seasons, Traxon &

e:cue have captured the best of nature

and enhanced it with advanced

technology. The result is illuminated art

that transforms healthcare environments

and benefits the people they serve.

Integrating dynamic lighting elements into

healthcare spaces helps providers and

patients. These comforting products

create a home-like ambiance and facilitate

recuperation, easing the transition

between hospital and home, as well as

creating an improved working environment

for healthcare employees.†

Positive for the environment, healthy for the bottom line

Distinctive, elegant, functional, and efficient,

Traxon & e:cue’s dynamic lighting solutions

illuminate both the atmosphere and an

organization’s values. A healthcare space

enhanced with dynamic lighting solutions

communicates caring – caring for patients,

providers, and the environment.

Efficiency is a hallmark of Traxon & e:cue’s

philosophy, products, and installations.

Based on LED technology, their energy effi-

cient lighting systems consume less energy,

resulting in significant, long-term cost sav-

ings; moreover, LED technology is ideally-

suited for healthcare applications, due to the

absence of heat emissions and UV-radiation.

Traxon & e:cue’s dynamic lighting and control

products are designed for simple, efficient

installation in virtually any space. While inspi-

rational and elegant, these products are

highly functional and excel at establishing ef-

ficient streams of facility traffic.

Efficient and aesthetically-pleasing environ-

ments increase employee performance and

satisfaction, as well as attract top talent. A

healthcare facility that radiates with shimmer-

ing light also shines with the positive energy

and actions of its employees, making it a

preferred destination for patients.

Where once there was darkness, an illumi-

nated art installation now invites patients,

care givers, and visitors to experience the

comfortable environment of St. Joseph’s Re-

gional Medical Center in Paterson, New Jer-

sey.

In the main lobby, a media wall was created

allowing LED-lit acrylic boxes to interact with

natural light from skylight overhead. The

low-energy solution combined Traxon’s

1PXL Board RGB and 1PXL Strip RGB with

optimum control, allowing the installation to

be synced with lobby music and it can

stream video art. Warm White Coves were

added to highlight existing architectural ele-

ments. e:cue’s Butler XT and Glass Touch

T12 were integrated to control the inspiring

scene; (Butler XT replays the previously up-

loaded lighting scene, and Glass Touch T12

adjusts the brightness of the colors or to de-

termine the speed and choice of the lighting

program.)

The addition of this sophisticated lighting

display has created a distinctive and unfor-

gettable healthcare environment where pa-

tients and providers thrive.

Since its original opening in 1958, Washing-

ton Hospital Center has been regarded as a

renowned clinical, teaching, and research

facility with a primary focus on the utmost

patient care. When they chose to remodel

and update their emergency room facilities

in the fall of 2009, the vision and design of

the project clearly reflected this same pa-

tient focus. To create a comfortable and

calming, stress-reducing emergency room

space, 264 Traxon 1PXL Cove Light XR

RGB, a slim profile fixture, were easily hid-

den in recessed areas of the ER ceiling. Ad-

ditionally, Traxon’s customizable Graze XB-9

RGB was installed discreetly between two

etched Corian half-walls from Evans & Paul,

illuminating them with a rich, even RGB

wash. An e:cue system consisting of two

Butler, one Butler XT, and one Glass Touch

T6R, provides smooth and reliable control

for the entire installation, which features

gradual color-changing undulations and

long timed fades from daytime to nighttime,

emulating the course of the sun throughout

the day as triggered by an astronomical

clock. The entire environment, created in

part by Traxon Technologies and e:cue,

communicates comfort and calmness.

When the University of Tennessee Medical

Center’s new Heart Hospital was added in

2010, its design included an artistic, illumi-

nated element, which sets its Heart Hospi-

tal lobby apart from other facilities of its

kind.

Envisioned as an inspirational and calming

focal point for patients and caregivers alike,

a glowing 40-foot vertical “waterfall” was

created in the lobby of the newly-con-

structed addition. The towering wall is cov-

ered with a molded Modular Art material to

mimic the surface of gently flowing water,

and lined with 40 Traxon Wall Washer XB-

36 RGB. The fixtures’ brilliant hue and rich,

even saturation paired with e:cue’s Butler

and Butler XT and programmed to emit

blue and green shades, successfully por-

trays the illusion of a rolling river water fea-

ture.

The “waterfall’s” pre-programmed lighting

scenarios are easily recalled via a Glass

Touch T12, and are also able to be trig-

gered via a wireless handheld device. In

addition to the aquatic blues and greens,

alternate shows were also designed to sig-

nify special events and celebrations, such

as pink for breast cancer awareness.

By incorporating dynamic lighting and con-

trol in an artistic application, University of

Tennessee Hospital brings its guests and

caregivers together and instills in them a

sense of serenity and inspiration.

Nemours Children’s Hospital, a state-of-the-

art pediatric healthcare facility, now features

vibrant, interactive lighting throughout its 60-

acre campus, a concept developed by archi-

tect-of-record Stanley Beaman & Sears

(SBS), associate architect Perkins+Will, and

lighting designer Anjan Sarkar of CD+M.

Upon entering the main lobby, the focal point

is a dynamic and inspirational digital artwork

lighting installation, conceived as a folding

pane, which begins at the wall and blends

into the ceiling. Developed in partnership by

the Design Team, with programming and in-

stallation by idesign, Traxon 16PXL Boards

create the wall application and 1PXL Boards

are installed in the ceiling, all wrapped in

3Form Chroma Diffusion, displaying prepro-

grammed video and animation clips, such as

images of the sky, fields, and landscapes.

The installation, also integrated by idesign,

offers color-changing options and is con-

trolled by e:cue’s Lighting Control Engine.

Just past the media wall, Traxon String RGB

is installed in the reception desk and over-

head drum, and over 1,600 linear feet of

Traxon Cove Light AC Dim in warm white

provide ambient lighting throughout the hos-

pital’s hallways and elevator lobby. In the pa-

tient rooms, 1PXL Cove Light XR RGB fix-

tures are installed over the beds in a ceiling

canopy, washing the walls with dynamic

color, which is controlled by each patient

through interactive television. The Cove

Lights in the patient rooms also provide

colorful exterior lighting for the building fa-

çade, which was designed by SBS and

Perkins+Will to resemble a Rubik‘s Cube.
