Analysis on the development trend of global LED medical lighting applications

In the LED lighting industry, the rapid development of today, the LED light source to its location and orientation, high brightness, high spectral purity, cold light, color temperature can be adjusted, long life and other characteristics, in the field of intelligent lighting, plant lighting, landscape lighting, medical lighting is developing rapidly.

First, 

the medical lighting is one of the best entry point for LED

Led medical lighting is a very small segment of the market, large-scale medical equipment enterprises mostly just incidentally an medical lighting products, few professional manufacturers, medical lighting products market price expensive. Medical lighting field to say is one of the best starting point for the semiconductor lighting, is able to cast their expertise, easily accepted by the market and promotion of field, is easy to get effect instantly, to create professional brand, to the world of a semiconductor lighting professional market segments.

Second,

wide range of medical lighting applications

The LED can cover medical applications include psychotherapy, UV curing, pot treatment, photochemical, beauty rejuvenation and disease treatment and medical application field corresponding to different wavelength different, such as disinfection sterilization, biochemical instruments, phototherapy instrument; infrared physiotherapy apparatus; medical internal peep mirror, shadowless lamp, operation microscope etc. are in different wavelength ranges and different wavelengths but also the LED light source can be used in a variety of medical fields.

The application of the light source in the medical field can be divided into the following:

1.Internal and external functional lighting in hospital buildings

With the exception of the medical resources, medical and other information shows that has generally been outside the use of LDE display) of functional lighting, most use of daylight lamp, grille lamp, ceiling lamps, spotlight, downlight etc..

2.Kuice lighting

The main focus is the exploration, observation lighting is transmissive, small angle, directional lighting fixtures. In vivo and in vitro peeking peeking parts. Peeking in vitro as a removable directional lighting, such as laryngoscope lights, lamps and other oral halogen present mainly in the main body of peeking to work with fiber optics, as the stomach, intestine, anus and other body peeking, mainly in LED as the light source .

3.Surgical lighting

Fixed and mobile sub-categories for doctors to provide high-quality lighting for the patient during surgery. The current mainstream xenon lamps and LED shadowless high cost.

4.Disinfection, eliminate radiation source

Using ultraviolet ray medical equipment, medical equipment and medical utensils disinfection and sterilization, high speed, high efficiency advantages. Currently used mercury vapor and other more.

5.UV radiation disinfection, sterilization

The use of UV light can penetrate the microbial cell membranes and nucleus, saboteurs stranded DNA and RNA, it lost the ability to copy functions and activities to achieve the purpose of sterilization virus. The use of UV disinfection does not exist after retort sterilization treatment such as waste, container and other issues, reliable and environmentally friendly.

6.Phototherapy - light radiation treatment

light therapy is the use of biological effects of light, the light with a specific wavelength or certain human skin tissue cells or inhibiting the growth spawned long, to achieve the purpose of treatment. Efficacy LED light source for light therapy are obvious. LED with a wavelength between 400 ~ 420nm high-energy blue light treatment of acne; yellow light with a wavelength of 570nm or near 630nm wavelength red light near the skin, skin rejuvenation.

Compared with conventional light sources, LED light therapy is more in line with the special requirements of the light source. Mainly light having a wavelength wide range of options, the amount of radiation, radiation spot controllable adjustable light color purity, no harmful spectral components, and electrical safety features. Therefore, LED light therapy is bound to become an alternative to traditional light source of choice for health as an effective clinical treatment.
