SKYTRON Aurora II LED Surgical Light (Dual-Head)

The Skytron Aurora II is a high-performance LED surgical lighting system designed for operating rooms and other clinical settings, featuring a hybrid optical system and selectable color temperature. It is known for its energy efficiency, longevity, and surgeon-controlled features. 

Key Features and Specifications

The Skytron Aurora II surgical light offers advanced features for optimal surgical field illumination. 

• Hybrid LED Optics: The system combines dynamically focusable satellite LEDs with centrally positioned, fixed-focus "Centra" LEDs to provide superior deep cavity illumination and eliminate shadows.
• Selectable Color Temperature: Surgeons can choose between two color temperatures based on preference or procedure type: 4,000K (soft white) for deep tissue, or 4,500K (bright white) for orthopedic procedures.
• Intensity and Focus Control: Both intensity (up to 160,000 lux depending on model) and focus can be directly controlled by the surgeon via the sterile center handle.
• Maneuverability: The light heads and arms offer lightweight, drift-free stability with continuous 360° rotation at all points of articulation.
• Durability and Efficiency: LEDs have a lifespan of at least 10 years (20,000+ hours) and use less than half the energy of traditional halogen systems.
• Optional Integration: The system is pre-wired to accommodate an optional Precision HD High Definition camera within the light head for video recording or teleconferencing. 

User and Expert Opinions

• Shadow Control: Reviewers and product descriptions consistently highlight the effective shadow reduction provided by the vertically segmented reflectors and hybrid optics, which maintain a clear view even if a surgeon's head enters the beam.
• Surgeon Control: The ability for surgeons to control intensity and focus directly from the sterile handle is a major selling point, streamlining workflow during procedures.
• Low Maintenance: The long life of the LEDs means no bulbs to change and a lower overall cost of ownership compared to halogen systems, which is praised by medical facilities.
• Comfort: The LED technology provides bright, cool light without the heat associated with traditional lighting, keeping the surgical team comfortable during long cases.
