Collaborative project optimises LED lighting

Early 2013 saw Brandon Medical, which designs and manufactures equipment ranging from operating theatre lighting to medical AV and control systems, celebrate ‘20 years of innovation and growth’, with a move to a new £2 million, 50,000 ft2 headquarters in Morley near Leeds, twice the size of its former premises.

A milestone year then for the entrepreneurial Yorkshire company, but, as HEJ editor, Jonathan Baillie, discovered, when he met with joint MD, Graeme Hall, 2014 should prove an equally exciting one for the medical technology specialist, with the launch of several new ‘field-leading’ medical lighting products designed for use in operating theatres and minor examination settings.

The first of this suite of new products to be launched this year – in February – was a high-efficiency examination light designed principally for use by clinicians undertaking minor procedures. Designed ‘from the ground up’, the Brandon Coolview CLED23 (see panel, page 67) incorporates features including ‘best-in class light intensity’; 360 degree lamp head rotation; ‘bright natural light’, and a colour-corrected light source and adjustable colour temperature, ‘to allow for accurate representation of tissues during examinations’.

Brandon says the latest Coolview model, and a smaller new variant, the CLED11 FX, offer ‘uncompromising lighting performance’ and low running costs, features which should please clinicians and healthcare estates personnel alike.
