Kenall's New SimpleSeal CSSGI and MedMaster BHRT Selected for IES 2024 Progress Report
Kenall adds KORE technology to its popular M4 Indigo-Clean EX surgical suite lighting series, providing the enhanced lens uniformity, and glare and contrast control so critical to the work performed in surgical suites.

KENOSHA, Wis., June 26, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Kenall is proud to announce the addition of KORE technology to its popular M4 Indigo-Clean EX surgical suite luminaire featuring visible light disinfection. The proprietary Kenall Optical Radiance Engine (KORE) provides enhanced lens uniformity, as well as the glare and contrast control so critical to the work performed in surgical suites. This new optical light engine further enhances the value proposition of the M4 Indigo-Clean EX luminaire. Indigo-Clean is a disinfection technology that kills pathogens safely, automatically, and continuously, and is clinically shown to reduce surgical site infections (SSIs) by 73%.

According to the CDC, "SSI is the costliest HAI type with an estimated annual cost of $3.3 billion, and extends hospital length of stay by 9.7 days, with cost of hospitalization increased by more than $20,000 per admission." As such, preventing even a single SSI pays for the cost of an Indigo-Clean operating room installation. In addition, KORE technology delivers the footcandles required in the O.R. while using less input power, representing further cost and energy savings to the facility.

Keren Imberg, Kenall's Clinical Affairs Director for Indigo-Clean, states, "We're excited to announce the addition of KORE technology to our industry leading Indigo-Clean EX surgical suite fixture. Designed and manufactured using the M4 platform as its base, the optics now utilize KORE technology's trapezoidal reflector to deliver a powerful combination of optical efficiency and whole room disinfection; both mission critical to successful surgical outcomes."
Kenall Manufacturing recently launched an updated and expanded 4" sealed downlight series. Offering extensive options to fit the needs of the most challenging lighting applications, these spec-grade, sealed downlights are IP64- or 65-rated, available with a round or square aperture, and a flush or regressed lens. Included in the expansion are a wide variety of lighting technologies designed to suit a broad range of specialized lighting needs.

Designed specifically for challenging environments, such as behavioral health facilities, cleanrooms, food and pharmaceutical processing areas, and more, these robust downlights can be specified with Indigo-Clean disinfection, tunable white options, and targeted bandwidths of color that improve technical performance and visual acuity in specialized environments. Green, blue, red, and two forms of amber (phosphor and wildlife friendly native), make it the perfect luminaire for applications that benefit from the use of specific wavelengths of light.

Representing a total of 36 new products, this series expansion provides specifiers with a wide range of both functional and aesthetic downlight options. Transitioning away from a traditional array of LEDs, the new downlight design employs a chip on board LED source. This advanced source provides the same output using reduced input power, which translates into energy savings.

According to Nate Heiking, Product Development Engineering Manager at Kenall, "Through this series expansion, our sealed downlights now offer a competitive advantage due not only to their updated LED source, but also because of the extensive range of options being offered—from apertures and lensing to lighting technologies and the use of narrow spectrum bandwidths for highly specialized applications. I can confidently say you can trust Kenall's extensive specialty lighting expertise for your next challenging downlight project."
