WELCH ALLYN has launched a new range of energy efficient examination lights that use LEDs in place of conventional halogen bulbs, to produce a brighter, white light that improves visualisation of the examination area without the long-term concern for bulb replacement.
The Green Series medical examination lights have a low energy requirement, making them a “greener” alternative to conventional bulbs and helps contribute towards the Government target of reducing carbon emissions by 26% by 2020. Each LED has an expected life span of 50,000 hours compared to the lifespan of 3,000 hours for a halogen bulb, offering surgeries and hospitals cost savings up to £990 per light. The LED bulbs used in the examination lights generate less heat, increasing patient comfort and safety. The innovative technology provides true tissue colour rendition and prevents the appearance of dark or hot spots during patient examination. The lights all feature touchless on/off controls, reducing contact with the lights, while the ergonomic design also makes the lights simple to clean. Green Series Exam Light IV is compatible with Welch Allyn disposable sheaths to further reduce the risk of cross contamination.
