DRÄGER has expanded its range of LED lights with Polaris 100 and 200 which offer high quality surgical light for those with a small budget.
The integrated LEDs deliver a homogeneous light with a spectrum similar to that of natural daylight. With an outer diameter of only 620 mm, the Polaris 200 integrates a total of 66 LEDs and reaches a maximum brightness of up to 160 klux. The 48 LEDs of the Polaris 100 – with the same outer diameter – delivers a brightness of up to 120 klux. Both versions are dimmable to 40 klux. For endoscopic surgical procedures an additional LED provides ambient light, while the major light is switched off. To increase the service life and the efficiency of the lights the company has developed a thermal management system that protects the components and ensures that the maximal temperature of the upper side of the light head does not exceed 35°C. With an average of 30,000 operating hours, the LEDs of both lights are said to be efficient and require virtually no maintenance. These new lights feature the classic round design of the Polaris family with circular handles on the top to allow non-sterile personnel to position the light heads easily. Sterile personnel can adjust the lights by using a sterile central handgrip. All settings are accessible via the intuitive control panel at the light head and the optional wall mounted control unit.
