Kirlin Lighting, a leader in lighting solutions for healthcare applications, is excited to launch its new MRI-safe RGBW Downlights, an innovative product series designed to improve the MRI experience through mood-enhancing lighting. The new series promises to transform medical imaging suites with vibrant colors and high-quality illumination that can change dynamically while MRI scans are in progress.

The MRI RGBW Downlights feature Kirlin’s proprietary SmartLED MRI technology, which allows the lights to change colors seamlessly while ensuring compatibility with even the most powerful magnetic resonance scanners available today. This feature aims to improve patient comfort and reduce the anxiety often associated with MRI procedures. The technology employs RGBW quad-chip LEDs, enabling a wide spectrum of colors as well as pure, crisp whites.

“Kirlin continues to push the boundaries of what is possible in specialized lighting environments,” said Chris Brownell, CEO of Kirlin. “With our new MRI RGBW Downlights, we are providing healthcare facilities with the ability to create a more soothing atmosphere, which can play a critical role in patient care and diagnostic accuracy.”

The product line includes 15 different fixtures – round and square downlights, cylinders, and sconces – offering healthcare designers a versatile range of options. The lights can also be integrated with other color-changing products from the SmartLED MRI family, such as the MRL-2 slot and MCL Cove, to provide a comprehensive lighting solution that caters to the complex needs of MRI facilities.

Kirlin’s commitment to enhancing medical environments extends beyond functionality, incorporating aesthetic elements that support a positive patient experience.

Kirlin Lighting, a leading Detroit-based manufacturer known for its innovative and high-quality lighting solutions, proudly announces the launch of Ambient+, a cutting-edge technology integrated into 11 fixture designs, set to redefine lighting versatility across various industries.

Ambient+ is not just another product launch; it’s a technology that blends functionality, versatility, and aesthetic appeal. Designed to serve the multifaceted needs of architectural spaces and healthcare environments, Ambient+ technology enables a single fixture to offer both static white and vibrant static color lighting, available in six narrow-band wavelengths. This dual functionality makes it a perfect fit for a wide range of applications, including architectural spaces, healthcare facilities, and environmentally sensitive areas.

Versatile Applications Across Industries

Ambient+ technology has been seamlessly integrated into various form factors within the Kirlin lineup, including downlights and cylinders. The technology’s adaptability shines in applications ranging from pharmaceutical laboratories, backstage theatrical areas, and vivariums to critical healthcare settings like ICUs and operating rooms, where lighting can play a crucial role in patient care.

Moreover, Ambient+ is engineered with environmental considerations, offering turtle-friendly lighting solutions that mitigate LED lighting’s impact on wildlife. Its utility extends to mass transit systems, behavioral health facilities, and other areas requiring specialized lighting solutions, underscoring Kirlin’s commitment to innovation and environmental stewardship.

A Step Forward in Lighting Technology

“Ambient+ is the latest in a long line of lighting solutions Kirlin has brought to market to serve the needs of our customers.” says Chris Brownell, CEO. “Fundamentally it allows one fixture, one installation, to serve two very important — often life-saving — functions. The ability to optimize for visual acuity in static white mode, and then to optimize for safety, or for circadian support, or for environmental sensitivity in color mode, is an incredible tool that is now available to the entire lighting community. We cannot wait to see where this technology will lead us.”
