What Healthcare Specifiers Want
Our Top 3 Businesses at Alva Lighting are:
1. Healthcare
2. Large scale exterior
3. Multifamily
We’ve been at this for 13 years. We’ve listened to our customers and take their input seriously. This blog will be the first of three, focusing on what the Healthcare Specifier is looking for.
What Healthcare Specifiers Want
1. Cleanliness
Fixtures need to be sealed or built in a fashion where insects and/or dirt can’t enter. Medical facilities have no way of removing these items once they are lodged within the fixture.
Anti-microbial paint finish (optional)
Washable resin. Our resins can withstand the harshest of chemicals.
2. Durability
Our resins are tough. 1K rated, designed to withstand a 10 pound bowling ball dropped upon them.
Paint finishes are tough. No discoloration and/or peeling.
10-year warranty. Our products don’t fail.
3. Modern Minimalist Designs
Fixtures used in medical facilities need to be reasonably simple and clean.
Low-profile, exceed ADA requirements. Bulky fixtures projecting far out from the wall simply don’t work in healthcare facilities.
Meets OMH certification for mental health facilities.
Clean, pleasant design. Creates a calming feeling for the patient.
Anti-ligature. Safe for patient rooms, no chance of patients hurting themselves.
Sealed, clean.
Can be used in washrooms, bathrooms and/or corridors. We have seen a myriad of applications for this product.

Clean, even light.

LEDs are strategically placed behind resin to create an even calming light.
Lumen select, multiple light outputs available with a simple adjustment.
When you want the look of a traditional candelabra sconce. Adds that classic look with a contemporary touch.
Indestructible shade, permanently attached to sconce.

We are currently working on additional designs for the Healthcare specifier.
