Dedham MA – AliMed(r) announced the release of the Motion Sensor Night Light, a new product developed to lower the high incidence of nighttime falls in nursing homes due to low visibility. The device’s LED lights automatically turn on as soon as motion is detected in the sensing field.
“Fall risks can be more easily avoided with improved lighting conditions,” said Senior Product Manager Alan Bingham. “The Motion Sensor Night Light provides the visual recognition needed to avoid slip and trip hazards in otherwise darkened walk areas.”
AliMed Senior VP Jon Bretz said, “Patients who get up at night may not readily see mats, blankets, fluids, or other slip and trip hazards that may be on the floor. So having an automatically triggered night light that illuminates the area where the person will walk just makes sense.” According to Bretz, the Night Light carries out three main functions: it illuminates the walking area, supplies soft light with no added glare, and works without disturbing other patients in the room.
The Motion Sensor Night Light is a set of three wireless, battery-operated sensors that can be strategically placed where optimal illumination is needed. They each contain energy-saving LED lights that reduce battery drain. Further details can be found at www.AliMed.com.
