At a stand shared with Waldmann - where the slogan is ‘Light is life’ - visitors entering the room will be able to feel the effects of various lighting ambiences from the point of view of a resident/patient or doctor/carer.

On show will be new lighting for treatments and examinations, as well as for care, reading and room illumination.

Also launched at the show is the firm’s halux Star, a new examination lamp fitted with a colour-correction filter: This has a 50 W / 12 V / 10º halogen bulb, producing an intense light of 40’000 lux / 0.5 m.  With the integrated colour-correction filter, the light can reach a colour temperature of 4000 K, so dermal features can be more easily detected and optimum lighting conditions can be ensured in areas being treated.

These, plus expert advice to tailor lighting for specific needs, can be found at Derungs Medical Lighting, in Hall 11, Stand B26
