However, when ceiling mounted together with other CoolSpot or Outpatient luminaires, the CoolSpot can replace much more expensive systems, in more demanding environments, and still offer a variety of choices in positioning and intensity. A second aperture wheel provides four intensity settings, which allows the user to select the exact light output required. Average lamp life is 500 hours. The Outpatient luminaire is a floodlight beam luminaire designed for professionals who demand the ultimate in highly versatile performance and design. The Outpatient luminaire was designed and engineered with safety in mind.
Continuous light is assured with the parallel wiring of the three lamps.
If one lamp burns out the two remaining will still provide light. Additionally, the low-voltage operation minimizes electrical hazards during procedures. The housing and light beam remain very cool, since the dichroic reflector filters out more infra-red rays than a standard reflector. Each lamp has an average life of 2000 hours. Additionally, an external knob, controlled by the operator, can be used to lock the arm in any required position.
