Introducing Viscor Certolux’s highly anticipated Healthcare Downlights that are certified to perform in surgical suites, patient rooms, and behavioral healthcare spaces. Certolux’s new sealed specification grade downlights are designed to satisfy the needs of healthcare’s surgical, patient, and behavioral care spaces without compromising their appearance.

These attractive new downlights are certified for cleanability to NSF2 and carry a certified IP65 seal and an ISO3 cleanroom rating, keeping contaminates from entering, protecting both patients and staff. These unique fixtures can also help identify health factors using a high color rendering option of 97+ giving an accurate appearance of skin and tissue during surgery or examinations.

Although they look like an architectural fixture, the rigid, low profile, die-cast trim secures an unbreakable polycarbonate lens to resist the abuses encountered in the behavioral health environment. Whether illuminating surgical suites, patient rooms, or behavioral health spaces, our downlights are tailored to fulfill the unique demands for critical activities while preventing potential harm.

MELVILLE, N.Y., Oct. 18, 2023 -- Today, Leviton introduces three new series of sealed healthcare luminaires from Certolux. These specification-grade downlights are designed for surgical suites, patient rooms and behavioral health facilities, and each offers an upscale, residential feel without compromising lighting performance or patient safety.

Certolux's MSD surgical downlights are carefully engineered to safeguard patients while providing superior illumination. They offer optional 97+ CRI to aid in the accurate evaluation of skin and tissue and MILSTD 461G certification which eliminates any risk of electromagnetic interference with surgical equipment.

MDD downlights are visually appealing and help create a cleaner environment for patient rooms in hospitals. Their glare-free, ambient illumination is comfortable and functional, and healthcare-critical certifications prevent contaminants from jeopardizing patient outcomes.

Finally, BDL downlights provide patient-safe lighting in behavioral health facilities. Certolux's people-first design combines refined style with the durability and rigid construction of institutional fixtures, resulting in a balance of comfort and safety for patients and staff.

All are Ingress Protection (IP) rated, certified NSF2, meet ISO3 cleanroom standards and carry an IK10 impact rating. Other features include:
  • 4" and 6" diameter apertures
  • Up to 5,000 lumens
  • Diecast trims with antimicrobial finishes
  • Optional 97+ CRI, R9>97 light engine
  • Optional low voltage controllers

"Certolux's new downlights demonstrate how safety, cleanliness and elegance combine to create superior healthcare lighting," said Tim Stevens, Product Manager at Viscor. "Certolux customers are already familiar with the superior quality and illuminance offered by our healthcare troffers. These downlights are designed to round out our healthcare lighting offerings and complete the facility."
