Acuity Brands Inc., a manufacturer in energy-efficient lighting and control systems, introduces the Healthcare Lighting Surg5 to the firm’s Operational Room/Surgical Suite product line. The unit features 5 lamps that deliver the same consistent, high-quality lighting as a 6-lamp fluorescent, according to the company. The elimination of one lamp within the fixture also allows a design with more accessible placement of the ballast for faster and more cost-effective maintenance. The Surg5 lamps are designed to stay in place during ballast maintenance, reducing the risk of glass breakage.
