A new surgical lamp utilizes next generation light emitting diode (LED) technology to provide excellent visual comfort and working conditions.

The STARLED3 NX surgical lamp is suitable for a range of diagnostic and surgical applications, including in the dental sector, gynecology and obstetrics, dermatology, and general medicine. Three reflectors produce a well-blended and intense (130,000 lux) cone of light with a color temperature of 4,500 K and a color rendering index (CRI) of 95. Despite the intensity, the STARLED3 NX maintains a low energy consumption of just 69 W, even as the LED’s maintain a life cycle of about 50,000 hours.

All functions are managed via the digital I–SENSE control panel, including power, light intensity, light spot diameter dimension (focusing), and depth of field (DoF) adjustment for a full visualization of the operating field as well as deep cavities; an ENDO function is available for endoscopy. The I-SENSE panel can also be used to synchronize controls of combined lamps, such as a double STARLED3 NX (twin dome) configuration, or the STARLED3 NX combined together with a STARLED5 NX or a STARLED7 NX surgical lamp.

The slim, practical, and compact design provides ergonomic handling, making it easy to move and position. The lamp has also been designed taking in consideration laminar air flow in the operating room, resulting in a smooth and resistant material composition that also makes cleaning quick and easy. The STARLED3 NX is a product of ACEM Medical Company (Bologna, Italy; www.acem.it), and is available in a ceiling mounted version (single, double, or together with other STARLED NX lamps); a wall mounted version; and a trolley mounted version that can also be battery operated.
