Kenall Lighting

Kenall's new SimpleSeal CSSGI and MedMaster BHRT cleanroom and behavioral health luminaires have been selected for inclusion in the 2024 Illumination Engineering Society (IES) Progress Report. The IES Progress Committee is committed to "keeping in touch with developments in the art and science of lighting throughout the world and preparing a yearly review of achievements for the Illuminating Engineering Society.

Available in a 'Buy American Act' compliant version, this luminaire is ideal for laboratories, food processing plants, pharmacies, pharmaceutical manufacturing, research centers and more.

"At just 1.7" in depth, Kenall is excited to offer the lowest profile cleanroom fixture available on the market for use in ISO 5-8 rated spaces. We are confident the fixture's uniform appearance, combined with the ability to service it from the room side, will satisfy both the aesthetic and operational requirements of conscientious cleanroom specifiers," said Gary Lalla, product manager.

Designed for behavioral health spaces, Kenall's new BHRT is ligature-resistant with a full, backlit LED array and high diffusion lens, providing uniform light levels. It features continuous lens retention and tamper-resistant fasteners for ligature prevention and meets the patient safety standards of the New York State Office of Mental Health for use in behavioral health settings. It is the only 24" Behavioral Health Round Troffer on the market to offer IP- and NSF-ratings, as well as an Indigo-Clean visible light disinfection technology option. It is also available with an ambient/exam, multi-function lamping option for over-the-bed applications (BHAERT).

Patricia Rizzo, Kenall's senior healthcare product marketing manager, said, "As a manufacturer offering the most behavioral health light fixtures approved by the New York State Office of Mental Health, Kenall is pleased to add the BHRT to our long list of approved products. Kenall has established an unparalleled position in behavioral health lighting by understanding the unique needs of these challenging environments. Our new 24" behavioral health round troffer is no exception, featuring an elegant, contoured shape, certified listings, and innovative tunable white and Indigo-Clean disinfecting technology options to add health and wellness benefits beyond standard ambient light."

Kenall is proud to be acknowledged by this esteemed group of IES professionals for the valuable lighting contribution the new CSSGI and BHRT series' make in cleanroom and behavioral health settings, respectively.

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."

Kenall Lighting announces the expansion of its popular Millenium Stretch series and adds proprietary KORE technology to its industry leading M4SEDI surgical suite family, while expanding the options available within each series for added flexibility.

This week, Kenall Lighting introduced an extension of their popular Millenium Stretch™ family, the MLHA3. The first in Kenall's portfolio to offer a customizable lumen output and color temperature, this 3-inch-wide luminaire is versatile and stylish. Although modern and slim in appearance, it's robust enough to carry Kenall's signature Peace of Mind Guarantee® against breakage. Additionally, the MLHA3 offers continuous runs with multiple length options, disinfection lighting via Indigo-Clean Technology (ICT), and a BIOS SkyBlue™ option to promote health and wellness.

Nate Heiking, Kenall's Product Development Engineering Manager, stated, "This is an exciting addition to our Millenium Stretch series, one of the most popular and versatile linear products in Kenall's portfolio. The fixture's small profile makes it's less obtrusive, giving it the subtle design aesthetic valued by today's lighting designers and architects."

This launch follows the introduction of Kenall's updated M4SEDI surgical suite luminaire. Because the surgical theater requires optimal visual acuity, Kenall has integrated its proprietary, powerful, and efficient KORE Technology™ into its industry leading M4 surgical series. This new optical engine provides full lens uniformity as well as glare and contrast control, so critical in surgical suites. While the price point remains unchanged, increased efficiency results in lower energy use, which translates into lower total cost of ownership.

Additionally, the new, lighter weight M4 housing provides greater ease of install. In addition to standard white, the M4SEDI is also available in green LED, which enhances monitor visibility during surgical procedures, reducing staff eye strain. The fixture is available in 2x4, 2x2, 1x4 and a new 1x2 size.

Kenall's new SimpleSeal CSSGI series is a budget-friendly cleanroom luminaire that features a low-profile design for minimal intrusion into the highly valued plenum space. The luminaire features an edge-lit light engine providing a uniform distribution of light across the surface of the lens. NSF and IP rated, the fixture is suitable for ISO 3-8 cleanrooms, ISO9 clean spaces and BSL 1-4 cleanrooms.

Kenall Manufacturing is expanding its offering of “virtually impenetrable” correctional lighting with the new Mighty Mac® HXSS. Along with the Mighty Mac SSAS, CCS and WCBHS, the HXSS is part of a family of unique, completely doorless luminaires designed to prevent inmate access into the lighting, deterring weaponization of components and promoting the safety and security of staff and inmates.

The hexagonal HXSS luminaire's stainless steel housing bolts directly to the ceiling with tamper-proof hardware, preventing contraband concealment and reducing or eliminating the need for cells to be emptied for routine maintenance.
