This specification-grade LED teardrop light is specifically designed for laminar airflow applications in ISO Class 4 cleanrooms, making it ideal for healthcare facilities such as hospitals, nursing homes, and chronic care centers. The luminaire supports row mounting through optional joiner end caps, allowing for seamless alignment and easy wiring between multiple fixtures. Its versatile design makes it suitable for both new construction and retrofit projects, ensuring compliance with strict cleanroom and containment standards while providing reliable, uniform performance in sensitive environments.
The housing of the fixture is constructed from extruded aluminum and is available in a durable polyester powder-coated finish, with optional anodized finishes for additional aesthetic or environmental requirements. Stainless steel end caps are finished to match the housing and are secured using flush stainless fasteners, providing a rigid, long-lasting assembly. The luminaire is designed to accommodate row mounting configurations, simplifying installation and maintaining cleanroom integrity. An internal drill guide allows for additional mounting holes when required, adding flexibility for customized layouts.
A silicone foam gasket is applied between the lens and the housing to create a continuous, sealed interface that prevents contamination and preserves laminar airflow within the controlled space. The lens consists of a single-piece extruded frosted acrylic with internal horizontal micro prisms, providing uniform light distribution while minimizing glare and shadowing in critical areas. Optional housing finishes are available to match facility standards or design preferences, maintaining both functionality and visual consistency in cleanroom environments.
The LED system incorporates high-efficiency modules that are carefully regulated to maintain consistent color rendering index (CRI), color accuracy, lumen output, and overall performance. Color temperatures of 3000K, 3500K, 4000K, and 5000K are available, with a tight 3-step SDCM tolerance, standard 80 CRI, and optional 90 CRI for enhanced color fidelity. The modules are rated for an L90 lifetime exceeding 60,000 hours and are commercially available and field-replaceable, allowing for straightforward maintenance. Optional 604nm PC amber LED arrays produce no UV emissions, and blue light output is greatly reduced to less than 1% below 480nm, providing a safer and more comfortable environment for sensitive cleanroom operations.
Additional options include an emergency LED battery pack and full NSF approval for healthcare applications. The fixture’s universal voltage compatibility, robust housing, precise optical design, and long-lasting LED modules make it a reliable solution for cleanroom and containment applications where safety, consistency, and compliance with ISO Class 4 standards are critical.
