Leviton’s Latest Lighting Innovation
Leviton®, a recognized name in lighting solutions, recently launched a significant advancement with its Certolux® brand, introducing the MD-ALTO. This innovative overhead lighting system has been meticulously designed for modern patient rooms, adhering to industry standards while prioritizing both patient comfort and clinical effectiveness.
A Shift Towards Human-Centric Lighting
The MD-ALTO marks a departure from conventional compartmental lighting designs, opting instead for a cohesive and sleek look that integrates seamlessly into healthcare environments. It successfully merges aesthetic appeal with functionality, providing a lighting solution that not only fulfills the demands of clinical activities but also enhances the overall atmosphere of the patient care space.
Key Features of the MD-ALTO
At merely 3¼ inches in depth, the fixture features an ambient glow that delivers soft, calming illumination—essential for promoting patient comfort. Such an environment supports visual well-being and aids in patient recovery, which has been a fundamental consideration in its design. John Koo, Certolux North American Sales Manager, stated, “The MD-ALTO addresses the dual challenge of facilitating clinical excellence while fostering patient recovery.”
An innovative aspect of the MD-ALTO is its high-output exam mode, which allows healthcare professionals to activate shadow-free, focused illumination—crucial for precision during medical procedures. Additionally, the incorporation of optional reading lights directed at the patient’s chest enhances visibility, providing a tailored experience for individual needs.
Flexibility and Customization
The lighting solution demonstrates remarkable adaptability, featuring independently selectable Color Correlated Temperature (CCT) and Color Rendering Index (CRI) settings for both ambient and exam modes. Designers and clinicians can customize the lighting according to different times of the day, patient requirements, or specific clinical tasks, further emphasizing its human-centric approach.
High Standards of Hygiene and Maintenance
Health and safety are paramount in healthcare settings, which is why the MD-ALTO is equipped with a sealed IP64-rated germ shield, making it suitable for damp locations. Furthermore, it features an antimicrobial finish and a compact form factor that effortlessly fits into modern care environments, enhancing cleanliness without sacrificing performance.
An Evolution in Patient Room Design
The MD-ALTO is more than just an upgrade; it transforms the ambiance of patient rooms, improving not only their functionality but also the general feel of care spaces. The unified aesthetic of the MD-ALTO ensures visual continuity throughout healthcare facilities, from corridors to nurses’ stations and patient spaces, enhancing the overall workflow and efficiency of healthcare providers.
With its commitment to innovative solutions, Leviton continues to lead in the lighting industry, promising products that significantly elevate the quality of care within healthcare facilities. This commitment is bolstered by its extensive portfolio, incorporating trusted brands such as Visioneering® and the dedication to continuously improve lighting technology.
