Earth 48 Single-Dome LED Operating Light
Ceiling-mounted LED operating light with a single 48-LED head, 160,000 lux per head, 95 Ra colour rendering and adjustable focus.
Earth 48Overview
The Earth 48 is a ceiling-mounted LED operating light with a single 48-LED head, each 500 mm across and rated at 160,000 lux. It is suited to minor theatres, procedure rooms, day-surgery units and delivery suites. The light field focuses from 100 to 150 mm with 10 to 15 cm of depth illumination, and a colour rendering index of 95 Ra with a 3800–5200 K colour temperature range keeps tissue colours true, which matters when telling perfused from ischaemic tissue. A floor-standing mobile version on a wheeled stand is also available for rooms without a ceiling mount.
The surgeon positions the head from inside the sterile field using the detachable, sterilisable central handle, and intensity is set digitally from 10 to 100 on the control panel or the remote, with five memory settings for routine procedures. LED technology keeps heat off the wound and out of the surgeon's face, the LEDs are rated for more than 50,000 hours, and the aluminium body is built for daily cleaning. The Earth 48 and Glanza 500 share the same optical specification, so the choice between them comes down to head styling and the arm layout that suits the room. Battery backup is available as an option.
Medix East Africa supplies the Earth 48 Single-Dome LED Operating Light with pre-installation site assessment, delivery, installation and commissioning by our own biomedical engineers, and acceptance testing before handover. Operator training is delivered to the staff who will use it day to day, and technical training is available for your biomedical department.
After handover we hold genuine spare parts for the equipment we supply, run preventive maintenance under annual contract, and respond to faults across Kenya and the wider East African region. Pricing is issued by formal quotation, because it depends on configuration, quantity, delivery terms and warranty.
