Edge-Lit LED Optics
orLED’s edge-lit optical system eliminates direct glare and minimizes shadows. The illustration demonstrates that the LEDs (1) are not visible from normal viewing angles eliminating direct glare and minimizes shadows. The light guide plate (2) channels the light through the plate that is etched with a pattern that captures and directs the light through a diffuser (3) into wide uniform controlled distributions of light.

Low-Profile Housing
The low-profile ORled housing is designed to maximize thermal conductivity of heat away from the junction points of the LEDs. Three factors impact the effectiveness of the thermal conductivity – material, mass and surface area. The choice of aluminum over CRS increases thermal conductivity at least 300%. In order to maximize mass the housing is extruded with thicknesses >.20” compared to .048” thickness of 18-guage CRS. Adding fins to the extrusion profile increases the surface area by 70% over 18-gauge CRS.
Illumination Challenges
Supplementary lighting systems for operating room application provides illumination for three tasks:

PREPARATION FOR SURGERY

BALANCE LIGHTING DURING SURGERY

CLEAN-UP AFTER SURGERY
LIGHTING CONFIGURATIONS
9’ CEILING • 90/60/20 • .9LLF MAINTENANCE FACTOR • 30” OFF FLOOR






Environmental Challenges of Operating Room Lighting
In addition to meeting all of the lighting and mechanical challenges of operating room lighting, orLED is listed and certified to meet all environmental challenges - leakage, contamination, corrosion, toxicity, cleanabilty, electromagnetic interference and energy efficiency.

NSF/ANSI 2 Splash Zone is a listing that addresses materials, design and construction as it relates to ease of cleanability, corrosion resistance and toxicity. orLED is constructed from stainless steel and aluminum and is impervious to corrosion. The enclosure has been designed to produce a progressive surface with the ceiling structure to promote ease of cleanability. The construction of the enclosure is robust and will withstand the most aggressive cleaning protocols.

Electronic equipment in operating rooms must be protected from radiated and conducted emissions that might compromise the patient, surgical procedures and imaging operations. “Military Standard 461F-Air Force/Navy Fixed” testing procedures provide tangible proof that orLED will operate within ranges (RE and CE) that are safe for operating rooms.

orLED is IP66 rated to assure that pathogens and particulates will not enter or pass through the lighting fixture. IP66 is the highest level of dust and moisture protection without entering the categories for submersible lighting fixtures.

orLED 2x4 luminaires are Design Lights Consortium Qualified - DLC qualified. DLC qualified is a prerequisite for most utility rebate programs. According to DLC, “When you purchase a product with DLC certification you can rest assured that you’ve chosen a highly scrutinized product that has been produced to some of the highest industry standards for quality and efficiency.”
This is the first LED supplementary operating room lighting series designed from the ground up to maximize the benefits of LED technology, interfaces with new contemporary ceiling systems and meets all the listing and certification requirements related to contamination (leakage, cleanability, corrosion, toxicity, electromagnetic interference and hazardous locations).
