Astralite plus, Brandon Medical’s latest minor surgical/examination light, is an extension to its Astralite HD-LED range.
The company said: “Higher intensity bright light at 1 m provides 100,000 lux or 60,000 lux, providing ample light for the most demanding procedures. With a larger illuminated area of 195 mm diameter, Astralite plus makes it easy to illuminate large areas of tissue, and to target light on the wound. The beams of light have a focus depth of 970 mm to penetrate into deep cavities. Astralite plus reproduces all of the visible colours naturally and accurately.”
The light head is positionable ‘all the way around the couch’, while LED life is 50,000 hours. Astralite plus uses <30 Watt to produce 100,000 lux or <18 Watt to produce 60,000 lux. LEDs are mercuryfree, and do not contain CFCs, POPs, VOCs, halogens, ‘or other harmful chemicals’. Brandon added: “LEDs only emit cold light without any infrared – ideal for comfort and safety. Variable intensity control allows setting of optimum illumination levels for the procedure. By spreading the LEDs across the whole lighting surface, a much better light distribution is provided, enabling excellent shadow control.”
