The most common cause of general fatigue in the dental office is eye fatigue. The Dentech Halo™ Ambient Light bathes the operatory in bright, nearly glare-free, color-corrected light. This eliminates the strain on the eyes that comes from moving back and forth between areas with bright task light and darker surrounding areas such as counters and cabinets.
The ratio between task light and ambient light should be less than ten to one in order to avoid eye fatigue. Unfortunately, the ratio in most offices is much higher and the dental team pays the price with tired eyes, general fatigue, headaches, and other problems. The Halo light produces the optimum level of ambient light.
The Halo Light uses long-life, high frequency fluorescent tubes that, unlike standard fluorescent lights, do not produce the stroboscopic effects that cause headaches in many people. An electronic starter and ballasts eliminate the need for electromagnetic fields around the lighting system, which can also cause headaches. Electronic starters also provide a 27% energy savings when compared with conventional starters.
The Dentech Halo Light uses special diffusers to provide shadow-free light. An infrared filter prevents heat radiation and protects the fitting from dust and dirt. The light is easily mounted with 8mm bolts (provided). A strengthened track fitted within the light makes the light suspension very flexible. The upper side of the reflector accepts additional tubes, to provide aesthetically pleasing indirect light and to improve the general light quality. “Snap in” side and end décor panels make cleaning and tube replacement easy.
The Halo Ambient Light carries the Dentech five-year warranty, one of the best in the dental industry. Dentech products are sold through full-service dental dealers.
