The STARLED3 EVO PLUS with LED technology is a completely digital and microprocessor controlled device that offers a low power consumption of only 55 W while delivering a powerful 130,000 lux, offering an ideal color rendering index (CRI) of 95 and a color temperature of 4,900 K that allows the reproduction of the exact chromatic scale of the colors of the human body. The lamps light beam can be focused via a central adjusting handle with a simple clockwise or anti-clockwise rotation, allowing both a focused illumination field as well as a uniform ambient one.

Selective operation of any or all of its three reflectors can be adjusted separately according to different needs, using the innovative I-Sense control panel. The lamp is also equipped with the proprietary ENDOLIGHT-UP system, which emits beams of light from the upper part of the lamp, thus allowing perfect visualization of the surgical field during video monitoring of the patient as well as during microscope-aided procedures.
The shape of the lamp was designed to compensate for laminar flows, avoiding obstructing airflow, reducing turbulence areas, and providing visual comfort. The exterior shell is made of a smooth, scratch resistant material that makes cleaning quick, easy, and complete, and the adjusting handle is removable for effective sterilization via autoclave. The STARLED3 EVO PLUS is a product of ACEM Medical Company (Bologna, Italy), and can be supplied in different versions, such as on a trolley, with a wall or a ceiling mount, and in a single or double configuration. The lamp can also be supplied with a battery-based power supply for field use.
