Due to our continued work within the healthcare sector, Steon have expanded the range of products suitable for application in areas where ease of maintenance and hygiene are paramount. The most recent introduction to this range is the Castor LED. It is a surface mounted luminaire ideal for operating theatres and clean rooms.

Lighting within the healthcare sector have exacting requirements over and above providing adequate light levels. Luminaires within these schemes must abide by stringent hygiene requirements and regulations, the Castor LED has been designed and manufactured specifically for these environments.

This IP65 luminaire is available in 4000K with outputs ranging from 4050lm – 20250lm (luminous efficacy up to 147lm/W). The luminaire is available with 3 hour-maintained emergency and DALI (digital) dimming and also boasts a high CRI value of 90.

Steon’s Castor LED is available in two versions:

1. Single prismatic lens
2. Dual prismatic & toughened glass lens (The SLL Lighting Guide 2 for lighting in hospitals states: “it is advisable in operating theatres to use luminaires which have glass diffusers since the close cell structure of glass cannot be penetrated by bacteria.”)
