Versalux offers an unparalleled range of custodial lighting solutions, designed to prioritise the well-being and safety of both prisoners and staff in correctional facilities. Noted for prisons around Australia, New Zealand and England, our innovative approach combines cutting-edge technology with a deep understanding of the unique challenges faced in prison environments ensuring a safer and more humane atmosphere for both inmates and staff.

Versalux offers a wide array of custodial fittings, featuring various styles and designs to suit different facility requirements. Our product range features anti-vandal and anti-ligature designs, we have also worked with various prisons to create tamper-proof outdoor lighting and perimeter lighting.

Our custodial range incorporates anti-ligature designs, meaning we have eliminated all ledges to prevent opportunities for self-harm. Our luminaires are also built anti-vandal tough, boasting the highest impact rating of luminaires making them indestructible. This advanced approach ensures a safer environment for inmates and staff alike.

Versalux's commitment to innovation, safety, and efficiency in lighting solutions positions us as the premier choice for custodial, industrial, and high-risk environments across Australia and beyond.

A groundbreaking addition to our custodial lighting range is the integration of MelaGen® technology. This innovative system assists in resetting circadian rhythms, promoting better sleep quality for prisoners who are confined to the facility 24/7. By improving sleep patterns, MelaGen® can potentially reduce aggression and conflict within the prison environment.

By controlling blue light exposure, MelaGen® helps maintain healthy circadian rhythms, which are often disrupted in the prison environment. This can lead to improved sleep quality, better emotional regulation, and reduced aggressive behaviour, anxiety and depression among inmates - potentially creating a safer and more rehabilitative atmosphere within correctional facilities. MelaGen® can be implemented into products like the Readalux (nightlight above bed head), Protectalux and Como ALAV.

Not only does this technology help the inmates regulate their mood and sleep. It also benefits all staff in the facility. MelaGen® Active in staffed areas only, help staff remain more alert during night shifts and reduce symptoms of fatigue, contributing to better care and safety.

MelaGen®'s high Colour Rendering Index (CRI) is a game-changer in prison settings. Unlike standard lighting that distorts colours and obscures details, MelaGen® provides crisp, true-to-life colour representation.

This is crucial for:

• Accurate Assessment of Emotional State: High CRI lighting allows staff to clearly see subtle changes in inmates' skin tone, facial expressions, and body language, enabling them to identify potential distress, aggression, or health issues more effectively.
• Improved Safety: Clearer visuals reduce shadows and enhance visibility, making it easier to monitor inmate activity and detect potential threats.
• Creating a More Dignified Environment: By rendering colours accurately, MelaGen contributes to a more aesthetically pleasing and less dehumanising environment.
