The latest Webinar Wednesday session “Cermax Xenon Lamps for Medical Lighting” was presented by David Collins, director of plasma lighting, Excelitas Technologies, and Kevin Tong, applications engineer, Excelitas Technologies. It was eligible for 1 credit from the ACI and was sponsored by Excelitas Technologies.
Collins and Tong provided an introduction and history of how Excelitas Technologies pioneered the Cermax Integrated Reflector Lamps for medical lighting applications. The Cermax Xenon lamp revolutionized the medical lighting world upon its introduction and continues to be the preferred light source for high brightness, true color applications. This webinar shared the revolutionary technology and benefits of high-intensity, perfect-white light output for medical illumination, including Cermax technology innovations past and future.
A question-and-answer session at the end of the webinar provided additional insights.
One attendee asked, “What is the most effective spectral power distribution for human vision?”
“I mean, for human vision, it’s basically coupled into the light that comes out of the sun,” Collins said. “So, the human eyes evolved in such a way that they see its peaks, right around in the green part of the spectrum. And this is the solar spectrum is the center of the curve. And I think that’s also where the Cermax lamp is also at its brightest … I do know that it’s going to be a good match for the human eye.”
Almost 100 people attended the live presentation, and a recording is available for on-demand viewing. Attendees provided feedback via a post-webinar survey that included the question, “What did you like most about today’s webinar?”
“The science behind the design and manufacture of these bulbs,” Biomed S. Keeny said.
“Very in-depth presentation with science behind the manufacturing process,” clinical engineering professional L. Velasquez said.
“It was interesting to learn how the bulbs are manufactured,” said R. Walter, BMET III.
