LED light source application of medical lighting now and in the future

Hospital lighting is mainly to meet the needs of the diagnosis and treatment of patients with daily life, with bright, comfortable features, the light source and the surrounding colors have specific requirements in order to achieve the correct observation and treatment of the disease. Ideal medical lighting source should be able to color temperature, illumination, light density, continuous adjustment as needed, relative to traditional light sources, LED can easily achieve these requirements. According to statistics, by the end of 2010, the total number of medical and health institutions in China reached 937,000, and the hospital lighting has formed a huge commercial market. LED industry began to lock this new blue ocean market, LED light source began to gradually applied to medical equipment. National Energy Conservation Center released the 2012 annual "Top Ten efficient lighting energy-saving technology best practice case" that contains LED integrated lighting solutions applied to the hospital case.

The past two years, LED special lighting in the medical device has a great breakthrough in the application, according to medical lighting sales statistics show that LED products in the hospital last year, the proportion of all areas are on the rise, including LED examination lights in the treatment room in the country Accounting for 10%, LED headlamps in the country operating room, emergency room applications accounted for 10%, LED view film light in the country's X-ray equipment applications account for 25% of the market share. LED surgical shadowless lamp is recognized by the medical profession, a new generation of surgical equipment, last year's LED surgical shadowless lamp is the operating room in the country accounted for 20% market share. Surgical shadowless lamp is expensive indoor lighting products, but the market is very large, with an average of 250,000 / set, the annual demand of 14,000 units, the output value of about 3.5 billion, equivalent to 3.5 billion 100-watt incandescent output. With the implementation of the "new rural cooperative medical reform" and "new medical reform" policies, the hospital will be relocated and newly developed at a rate of 15% each year with a market capacity of about 75 billion. The construction of a green hospital with energy conservation and emission reduction is especially important. Visible, LED lighting fully stationed in various fields of hospital maturity.

And the hospital is 24 hours a day Xu Liang large power users, if all the lights replaced LED lights can save a lot of electricity for the hospital, but also respond to the call of the national energy-saving emission reduction. EMC mode can also be introduced to the hospital to help hospitals popularize large-scale LED. Hospital power consumption, through EMC can bring profits for the enterprise.

Although the unprecedented good, but in our country, for the medical field of lighting products, in addition to indoor and outdoor functional lighting, belong to the category of medical devices, access to a higher threshold, the products of manufacturing enterprises subject to the State Food and Drug Administration license. General LED lighting business because they do not belong to the medical industry, supporting difficulties. The medical device qualification of enterprises do not understand the characteristics of LED lighting, thus forming a blind spot for foreign products to take advantage of access.

The application of LED light source in medical equipment can not only save energy, but also bring health to medical staffs and patients. Therefore, the development of LED medical lighting and phototherapy equipment is the inevitable development of science and technology, but also the urgent need for medical lighting in China.
