LED Surgical Lamp Illuminates the Operating Field

An innovative surgical lamp grants a homogeneous and shadowless light thanks to next generation light emitting diode (LED) technology.

The STARLED3 NX surgical lamp is composed of three reflectors that produce a well-blended and intense cone of light that is focusable through automatic adjustment of the light spot diameter. The resulting visual area is perfectly illuminated with a well-blended and intense (130.000 lux) cone of light with a color temperature (CCT) of 4.500 °K and a color rendering index (CRI) of 95. Despite the intensity, the lamp maintains a low energy consumption of just 69W, and is thus suitable for countless applications, including dentistry, gynecology, dermatology, general medicine, and surgery. 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 (focus), and depth of field (DoF) adjustment for a full visualization of the operating field and deep cavities. The I-SENSE panel can also be used to synchronize the 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. An ENDO function gives the possibility to use the STARLED3 NX for minimal-invasive endoscopic surgery.

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 airflow in the operating room, resulting in a smooth and resistant material composition that makes cleaning quick, easy, and complete. The STARLED3 NX is a product of ACEM Medical Company (Bologna, Italy), 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 powered by the proprietary rechargeable ACEM battery powered system (ABPS).

The ABPS battery system is wholly contained within the trolley base, with a control panel on the structure that allows management of all fundamental parameters, including residual charge, type of power supply, recharge status, and electrical power supply presence. The battery is recharged by an automatic charger with a maximum charging time of about 8 hours. An electronic control allows for automatic switching from electric power supply to battery power supply, so that STARLED3 NX can be used as a high performance mobile unit.
