OLED lighting distributor Acuity Brands is planning to market its OLED lighting panels towards a range of medical applications, focussing on their unique characteristics.
Based in Atlanta, Acuity sells a range of luminaires mounting OLED lamps manufactured by OLEDWorks in its OLED Marker Light series. The amber colour lights sold by Acuity emit light at wavelengths around 590 nm. Importantly they lack 450-490 nm wavelengths. These form the blue light which is known to impact human circadian rhythms (body clock) - making the Acutiy lights a good fit for hospital wards at night time.
The easy conformity of OLED lights means that Acuity sees potential in lighting other areas of healthcare facilities too. The general manager of the company's OLED business group, Peter Shannin says: 'These products clearly demonstrate the potential of OLED lighting for critical care areas, and how OLED luminaires can be applied in corporate, hospitality, healthcare and residential lighting interior applications.
'The OLED Marker Light series provides an integrated solution with distinctive design statements that demonstrate the value of OLED, including a minimalist form factor, glare-free light and design freedom achievable only through OLED lighting.'
