SIMEON Sim.LED 3500+ examination light for outpatient and clinic rooms

Where the Sim.LED 3500+ fits

Examination lights serve consulting rooms, treatment rooms, dermatology, ENT, urology, gynaecology and small procedure rooms. They need sufficient illuminance for inspection, a field that is large enough to avoid constant repositioning, and a design that is easy to wipe down between patients.

The 3500+ sits in the upper part of the SIMEON examination range, with 90,000 lx of central illuminance at 1 m and a dimming range of 40,000 to 90,000 lx. Its low weight makes it easy to position, which matters when the doctor adjusts the light many times during a clinic session.

Light data

According to the manufacturer data, colour temperature is 4,500 K, light field diameter d10 at 1 m is 150 mm, Ra is 96 and LED service life is above 60,000 hours. The patented reflectors are arranged in the triangle layout, which gives a large homogeneous light field and softens shadows from the doctor's hands and head.

Colour rendering of 96 is a good basis for judging skin tone, mucosa and wound colour. For the meaning of each number, see how to read surgical light specifications. In examination work, the more important question is often how the light behaves in a real room, not the peak value.

Mounting versions

The 3500+ can be installed as a ceiling, wall or mobile version. The ceiling version frees the floor, the wall version suits a room with a fixed couch position, and the mobile version moves between rooms. The mobile stands of the SIMEON range can include removable batteries, see SIMEON mobile lights.

• Ceiling: fixed examination room with clear floor.
• Wall: compact rooms, short arm reach near a couch.
• Mobile: shared use across several rooms or bedside use.

Hygiene in examination rooms

The body is seamlessly closed, with Anti.BAC antibacterial coating and safety glass, so it can be wiped quickly between patients. Agree the cleaning agent with your infection control team and check that it is compatible with the coating.

Also plan where the handle is located relative to the doctor's gloved hands, because the handle is touched in almost every patient visit.

How it compares with other SIMEON examination lights

SIMEON offers several examination models. The Sim.LED 350 gives 60,000 lx, the Sim.LED 3000 60,000 lx with a choice of field size or colour temperature, and the Sim.LED 250 is a lightweight 8-LED model. The 3500+ gives the highest light level of these, so it suits rooms where examinations need strong illumination, such as ENT or minor procedures.

Questions to ask the supplier

Ask for the installation drawing with arm length and the reach over the couch, the weight of the head for wall and ceiling fixings, and the cleaning instructions. Clarify the warranty period, spare parts for handles and covers and the response time of the service team in your emirate.

Request a demonstration in a real room with a person on the couch. Examination lights are used at close range with the doctor leaning over, so check glare, shadow from the doctor's head and ease of movement before ordering several rooms at once.
