Medical Examination Lamp Provides UV and IR-Free Illumination

By HospiMedica International staff writers
Posted on 21 Oct 2009
A leading surgical lighting company evolved its medical examination lamp to use LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes).

Called the STARLED1 EVO, the examination lamp is manufactured incorporating LED technology to produce a cold clean light, free of ultraviolet (UV) or infrared rays (IR). More...

The examination lamp consists of a cluster of seven LEDs, and mounts on an articulated or a flexible arm, installed on a variety of table clamps, wall brackets, rails, or trolleys.

The LEDs emit a pure white light. The lamp produces a 9-cm diameter light field at 50 cm. The light color temperature is 4,900 K, and the color-rendering index (CRI) stands at better that 88. The lamp provides illuminance of 50,000 lx at 50 cm, and adjusts from 25,000 lx to 50,000 lx without altering its emission features.

The absence of IR means the lamp does not contribute heat to the environment. Thus, the illumination system's power requirement is very low. With average life of LEDs at 50,000 hours, the system's average life cycle surpasses that of conventional light bulbs by a factor of nearly 100, while maintaining a linear yield and light-emission accuracy that remains constant over time. In addition, the lamp's design contributes to stability, easy of use, and proper cleaning protocols.

The STARLED1 EVO is manufactured by ACEM Medical Co. (Bologna, Italy), a company specializing in medical lighting and the X-ray sector.
