HD-LED is a brand new technology with vastly better performance than ‘standard definition’ LED or conventional surgical lights.
HD-LED has the unique feature of full spectrum colour rendition across all of the visible colours. This allows colours to be noticeably more vivid and clear in comparison to other lighting technologies.
Medical lights using HD-LED produce more useable light. This is used to create larger beams of light and bigger illuminated fields than any other surgical lights.
Red balance control allows surgeons to adjust the visible red colour rendition. This characteristic helps surgeons to accurately distinguish between similar coloured tissues during surgery. Surgeons can select the best level of red light during surgery in order to suit their own individual red vision.
HD-LED is incredibly energy efficient and uses less than a third of the energy used by conventional lighting. Lighting accounts for over 19% of all energy use and LED lighting has the potential to reduce this by 50-60%, which is very significant in terms of carbon dioxide reduction.
LEDs have other environmental benefits too, they don’t contain polluting substances present in other lights such as Mercury, Cadmium or Lead, which makes them easy to recycle and they avoid using harmful halogens like CFCs, VOCs or POPs.
Brandon Medical is the first company in the world to launch surgical lights using the new innovative HD-LED technology.
