Homeowners have been changing out the traditional bulbs in their interior and exterior lighting fixtures from halogen bulbs, to florescent bulbs, and now LED bulbs. The reason is simply because of the overall cost savings and minimized need for replacement bulbs. It just makes sense that businesses, schools and medical centers would also begin jumping on the savings bandwagon by replacing those old incandescent & halogen light bulbs. But when it comes to a medical setting where literally hundreds of fixtures and thousands of bulbs may need to be replaced, are there additional advantages to this undertaking? We think so. Here are eight great reasons for converting to the MI 1000 LED light or and MI LED light.
- Cutting Edge Arm Technology -The MI 1000 LED light and all MI Series lights are engineers with the superior spring arm technology, reducing drift and providing proper light head placement in every procedure. The spring arm technology is adjustable through the entire life of the light, so the LED is always in prime factory condition.
- Low Heat Generation - Historically, the antiquated halogen lights were hot and made the surgeon uncomfortable. Manufacturers were moderately successful at filtering out the infrared which generated the heat; however this caused the top of the halogen lights to be hot.The LED elimination of heat has improved the surgeon and patient comfort during procedure, contributing to a better patient experience.
- Bright White Lighting - MI 1000 LED bulbs are rated at 65,000 lux at 4,300 degrees Kelvin color temperature, which offers a pure white light for superior visibility, similar to daylight. In plain English, traditional incandescent bulbs are rated at between 2,700 and 3,000 degrees.The lower the degree of Kelvin the bluer the light, the higher the degree of Kevin the more yellow the light becomes.
- Versatility - The MI 1000 lighting system is available with a wide range of mounting styles and different lengths of ceiling rods. There is also a mobile floor stand option which can be rolled from room to room.
- Efficiency - These MI 1000 surgical lights use "Green Technology" and are extremely energy efficient. The LED technology uses less wattage than its halogen counterparts, reducing the energy spend, saving the facility significant money over the life of the product.
- Reliability - MI 1000 lighting systems have a limited three year warranty on all parts excluding the bulbs. But with an average life of over 50,000 hours (over 10 years of normal use), these LED bulbs are one of the most reliable and long lasting on the market today.
- Lower Maintenance - With bulbs that last that long, maintenance is minimal because there are no bulbs or fuses to replace.
- Advanced Dimming and On-Off Control - In addition to lower energy costs, these state of the art surgical lights are cutting edge in innovative versatility. Each system can be controlled to provide five stage dimming as well as a convenient on and off switch located on a sterilizable handle.
