Superb lighting technology is the secret of our success
NATURAL COLOUR PERCEPTION Colour perception is determined by the colour temperature of light entering the eye. For example, daylight has a colour temperature of 5,600K. Light of 5,600K is perceived by the human eye as white. For surgical lighting, experts recommend white light with a colour temperature between 4,000K and 4,500K. Thanks to a colour temperature of 4,300K, CHROMOPHARE lights produce white light with daylight quality, because it is in daylight that the human eye sees best.
THE POLYGON REFLECTOR
At the heart of every CHROMOPHARE light is a polygon reflector with a precise shape made up of hundreds of facets. Each single facet captures the light and casts it over the entire surgical field. In this way hundreds light fields are superimposed on one another, creating an absolutely homogeneous light column. The operation takes place directly in the middle of the light column, which measures between 120 cm and 125 cm (L1+L2) in height and reaches deep into the surgical field. Due to the perfect design of the reflector facets and the size of the light emitting surface area, the space illuminated by the light column is not only as bright as daylight but also shadow-free. And it remains so, even when the surgeon's shoulders, hand or head covers part of the light source. To eliminate shadows, CHROMOPHARE lights are designed as monoreflector lights. This gives a large light emitting surface area, critical to avoiding shadows in the surgical field. Simultaneously, contours so essential for visual depth perception are retained. A special depth reflector ensures that even deep cavities are optimally illuminated. The polygon reflector consists of hundreds of facets. Each single facet illuminates the entire surgical field.
