Starkstrom is the exclusive UK distribution of KLS Martin operating lights, which include the E-series and award-winning marLED V-series range.
The company said: “marLED – the light of the second LED generation – has a compact design and significantly smaller high performance LEDs. Unlike conventional LED lighting, marLED allows light to be mixed inside the LED ‘light engines’ (in the light head), rather than on reaching the surgical site, effectively preventing the casting of colour and contour shadows.”
Starkstrom has recently developed the marLED E3 – a high performance examination light offering a light output of 100,000 Lux, ‘ideal for day surgery, outpatients’ departments, examination rooms, oral and maxillofacial surgery, medical practices, and dental and oral surgery’.
In addition to the enhanced illuminance, other features include:
- Warm white/cool white LED technology.
- Helps surgeons distinguish true colour tissue in surgical cavities.
- Optimised light field homogeneity.
- Good illumination of flat or deep tissue cavities.
- Improved visual illumination depth (L1/L2).
- Requires less light head movement to keep objects in focus.
- A 40,000 hour expected LED lifetime.
- A ‘seamlessly integrated’ control panel, with ‘on/off’ and continuous dimming.
The new marLED E3 is reportedly easy to both use and clean, with a closed housing with smooth contours, and a sterile handle or handle element for use with disposable covers.
