Bigger, brighter and more uniform surgical lighting
In use: The new CHROMOPHAR® – optionally with HID gas discharge or BRITe™ halogen technology
With the usual standards, such as daylight quality, minimum heat production, and intense color temperatures, the CHROMOPHARE® E-Series includes surgical lights with HID gas discharge or BRITe™ halogen technology, Berchtold reports. ‘All lights achieve a new type of plateau-shaped illumination: the light field is illuminated with uniform intensity at every point. The light remains cool in spite of its greater illuminating power. The redesigned free-form polygon reflector also ensures superior visibility due to a minimum of shadows.’
The gas discharge lights of the HID series E 805 and E 655 are also distinguished by their very consistent illumination of a large light field. In the CHROMOPHARE® E 805 this is further enhanced by a significant increase of illumination of 100,000 lux within the central light field. ‘A pleasant innovation is the Sleep Function, which makes it possible to blend out the HID light temporarily and restore it immediately to full power when needed. The gentle low-light level GuideLite™ remains present during Sleep Function and offers a pleasant orientation glow. The innovative AutoLux function of the E 805 HID light offers the option of electronic intensity control; this makes it possible to increase or reduce the light field area with no change in either the quality or intensity of illumination. Refocusing is not needed.’
The light intensity of CHROMOPHARE® BRITe™ lights with halogen technology is up to 50% greater than ever, at the same level of energy consumption and with no increase in temperature at the light head, Berchtold adds. ‘The response to the new operation lights has been very positive. Operating surgeons affirm without exception that the new types of illumination improve quality and efficiency of operations.’
