Hi all–we have a linear pendant slated for the provider offices in our behavioral health outpatient clinics. These spaces are also where our providers see patients.
Has anyone encountered issues with providing this type of fixture in this type of space? The provider does not leave the patient alone in this spaces.
Hey Scott,
Is it just low acuity outpatient care for known patients or initial consult for referrals? Sometimes operators want spaces to flex in acuity as the demand changes (think BH Urgent Care occurring there one day or low acuity BH consult the next).
How low does it hang and is it intending to cast light for a specific task that only a pendant can provide or is a directional light at the plane of the ceiling equally functional while being “safer” for the risks being considered?

Hi Scott, We typically avoid pendants and other “low hanging fruit” items that can be damaged in consultation rooms because we want to maximize short- and long-term flexibility and safety.
