Cold Light Illumination System

The Carl Zeiss KL1500 and KL2500LCK LCD Cold Light Illumination Systems represent a significant development in clinical lighting. Using a liquid light guide mounted directly to either the EyeMag Pro Prism Loupes an homogeneous, uniform illumination of the field of view is provided. With a 150W/250W halogen lamp and an LCD display illustrating colour temperature the light source provides continuous brightness adjustment. The "fluid filled" Liquid Light Guide System is used to guarantee high luminous intensity and natural colour rendition

This offers many advantages over fragile and costly fibre optics:
A reduction in weight of 50%
A slender and flexible light guide which is much more comfortable to use.
A reduction in running costs with no fibres to break.
Improved transmission, providing a "whiter" white light of greater intensity.
Dual Light Intensity and Colour Temperature controls.
Accommodation of Colour Filters during surgery.
An impressive "whisper-quiet" motor.
Can be used as an excellent light source without Loupes.
Carry handle simplifies movement in theatre.

See the difference
Good illumination is as important and as helpful as the magnification factor in many surgical fields. For example in breast surgery, when getting down into the axilla, a surgeon frequently finds that his /her head gets between the overhead lights and the operative site. The surgeon's own shadow gets in the way of the surgeon's vision. Head aligned illumination completely overcomes this major problem.

No more lamp repositioning
An other advantage of eye-aligned illumination is seen in Dental Surgery where the irritating and irksome task of having to constantly reposition the overhead surgery light is eliminated. The Loupe Light combination floods the oral cavity with light, most effectively. By eliminating the need to adjust the overhead light, one also eliminates any anxieties or concerns about the hazards of cross infection risks associated with light handling .
