Dansk Standard (DS 703 chapter 2) The Patients have only few visual tasks, but need a light that makes the surroundings as pleasurable as possible. Staff must however have sufficient lighting to perform work that is often very visually demanding.The light colour must be selected according to patients’ needs for a pleasant “home” lighting, which in most cases is colour temperatures no higher than 3000 K and a fairly good colour rendering of Ra> 80
