When planning the lighting layout for a bedroom or bathroom for at risk patients, it is important to install such lighting that will eliminate points where a cord, rope, or bed sheet can be looped or tied to, in order to create a point of ligature, which may result in self harm or in extreme cases, loss of life. Most lights that are considered standard for a bedroom or a bathroom may pose a risk of ligature and therefore alternate products must be used in order to achieve the same function yet provide a safe environment for both patients and staff.
