Frequently asked questions
How many high-performance bulbs are included?
This double ceiling mount system utilizes a total of eight high-intensity halogen bulbs, with four bulbs installed in each of the two 24-inch lamp heads, ensuring powerful, consistent illumination for surgical procedures.
Key specifications that highlight the quality and reliability of the light source include:
- Bulb Type & Power: Each is a 50-watt, 24-volt halogen bulb.
- Longevity: The bulbs have a rated life expectancy of 1,400 hours.
- Operational Reliability: They are parallel-wired, meaning if one bulb fails, the remaining bulbs in that lamp head continue to operate uninterrupted.
- Performance: The system delivers a substantial illuminance of 120,000 lux per head.
- Color Accuracy: The light provides exceptional tissue differentiation, boasting a high Color Rendering Index (CRI) of 95 and a consistent color temperature of 4,200 Kelvin.
How many halogen bulbs does each lamp head use?
Each lamp head on the Burton APEX Double Ceiling Mount uses four high-output halogen bulbs, resulting in a total of eight bulbs for the entire dual-light system. This configuration is designed for reliability and powerful output.
Key specifications of the bulbs and system include:
- Specifications: Each bulb is rated at 50 watts, 24 V.
- Reliability: The bulbs are parallel wired. This critical feature ensures that if one bulb fails, the others will remain illuminated, preventing a loss of light during critical procedures.
- Life Expectancy: The rated lifespan for these halogen bulbs is 1,400 hours.
- Illumination: The combined output of all eight bulbs delivers a high intensity of 120,000 lux.
What is the maximum illumination intensity per lamp head?
While the Burton APEX system is designed to provide a combined maximum illumination of 120,000 lux (11,148 footcandles), the maximum light intensity delivered by each individual lamp head is 60,000 lux.
This robust output is generated by the light source, which features:
- Four 50-watt, 24-volt halogen bulbs within each 24-inch diameter head.
- Bulbs are wired in parallel for reliability.
- The light offers superior color quality, boasting a high Color Rendering Index (CRI) of 95 and a color temperature of 4,200 Kelvin for optimal tissue rendition.
What is the light's color temperature?
The Burton APEX Surgical Light provides a color temperature of 4,200 Kelvin. This temperature, combined with an excellent Color Rendering Index (CRI) of 95, is specifically engineered to ensure accurate tissue differentiation for critical surgical procedures.
Do the halogen bulbs have a long life?
Yes, the halogen light source is engineered for reliable, continuous operation in demanding surgical settings. The system uses eight 50-watt halogen bulbs (four per lamp head) to provide powerful illumination.
Key features regarding the bulb life and reliability include:
- Extended Lifespan: Each bulb has an expected operational life of 1,400 hours.
- Built-in Redundancy: The bulbs are parallel-wired. If an individual bulb fails, the remaining bulbs continue to function without interruption, ensuring consistent illumination throughout the procedure.
This combination of long life and redundancy helps minimize maintenance while maximizing operational safety.
What ceiling heights can this surgical light accommodate?
The Burton APEX Surgical Light is available in models designed for both 8 ft and 10 ft ceilings.
Is there a battery backup or emergency power option for the Burton APEX Surgical Light?
Yes, a battery option / emergency electrical power is available for this surgical light.
What important safety certifications does the light hold?
The Burton APEX Surgical Light meets stringent requirements for global medical safety and performance.
It holds the following key certifications and approvals:
- UL60601-1
- IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-1-2, IEC 60601-2-41 (International standards for medical electrical equipment)
- CAN/CSA C22.2 601-1 M90 (Canadian Standards Association)
- CE marked (Approves the light for sale in Europe)
Furthermore, the light features safety controls to prevent excessive heat exposure, with irradiance emissions kept below the IEC recommended limit of 1,000 W/m² at maximum intensity.
Does the light stay in position?
The Burton APEX Surgical Light features drift-free arms that are designed to hold the light precisely in the desired position throughout surgical procedures, ensuring stability and reliability.
Is the illumination easily adjusted?
Yes, the Burton APEX system is engineered for easy, precise, and one-handed operation, utilizing drift-free articulated arms for stable positioning.
Key adjustment features include:
- One-Handed Positioning: Each lamp head features a center handle that allows for quick, one-handed aiming and simultaneously functions as a focus gauge.
- Light Field: The light field diameter is adjustable between 8 inches and 10 inches (20 cm – 25 cm), and the system provides an excellent 17 inches (43 cm) depth of illumination without requiring refocusing.
- Maneuverability: The lamp heads offer significant movement, including a 70° tilt (forward or backward) and a wide 54-inch (137 cm) swivel radius.
- Intensity Control: Light intensity adjustment is available via an external control box; however, this control box is only included with the 120V and 100V configurations.
