Kenall Introduces 'Rest Easy' Patient Room Lighting

KENOSHA, Wis., Jan. 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Kenall Lighting unveils the MedMaster Pillow™ and Pillow™ Slot luminaires, setting a new benchmark for patient room comfort and care. With softly curved lines and a calming over-bed aesthetic, the Pillow family delivers cove-like illumination, multi-function lighting for ambient, exam and reading, excellent color rendering and low-glare optics that enhance visual comfort for patients and clinicians alike.

MedMaster Pillow™ is available in 2x2 and 2x4 sizes for over-bed applications, with an optional tunable white feature. Its concave lens creates a smooth, natural gradient of light, while optical control aligns with industry standards. Unified Glare Rating (UGR) values range from 10 to 14, well below the threshold of 19 required to achieve points for WELL certification under category L04: Electric Light Glare Control. This design protects visual comfort and supports patient relaxation and clinician accuracy. Integrated modes—ambient, exam, reading and night—provide flexibility throughout the day.

The Pillow™ Slot is a purposefully designed in pairs on either side of the bed to position light sources out of the patient's direct line of sight, offering clean lines and a modern feel to patient room design. Available in 4-foot and 6-foot lengths, its asymmetric distribution delivers uniform, diffuse illumination, reduces sharp shadows during bedside care, and provides a seamless transition between ambient and exam modes without visible compartments. Together, Pillow and Pillow Slot give designers versatile options with a distinct, comforting aesthetic.

Behind the refined form is robust performance. IP64 and NSF2 listings support infection control protocols in healthcare settings. Tool-less, room-side access pins and quick-release torsion springs simplify service, reduce downtime and help facility professionals work more efficiently.

"The Pillow and Pillow Slot bring a fresh, sophisticated aesthetic to Kenall's traditional healthcare lighting portfolio, while retaining the certified performance synonymous with the brand," said Patricia Rizzo, healthcare product marketing manager at Kenall. "Pillow's sophisticated design is based on customer input from healthcare specifiers and lighting designers, who we are confident will rest easy specifying Kenall's new Pillow for the patient room."
