The 17" motorized medical exam downlight with 60° tilt is a fully recessed, trapezoidal fixture engineered for critical healthcare environments such as hybrid operating rooms, labor and delivery suites, and traditional operating rooms. Its 15" × 17" aperture integrates seamlessly into new-construction ceilings and extends only 11-3/8" into the plenum, maintaining a low-profile installation that minimizes clutter and enhances infection control. The fixture delivers 5,362 lumens of static white LED light at 95+ CRI, with available color temperatures of 3500 K, 4000 K, and 5000 K. Powered by 106.1 watts and compatible with 120–277V input, it offers smooth 0–10V continuous current reduction dimming down to 1%, allowing precise intensity adjustments for a wide range of clinical procedures. The flat tempered-glass lens, regressed flare trim, and sealed housing option support rigorous cleanliness standards, while the perforation-free, corrosion-proof aluminum construction exceeds 1,000 hours of ASTM salt-spray testing. A blue LED indicator strip identifies when the luminaire is under active control, and the system’s lightweight 43-lb design meets OSHPD seismic requirements when specified with additional safety wires.
At the core of its optical performance, the INFRALED® PRO 60 employs OPTeCOLOR™ LEDs that deliver exceptional color rendering with a CRI of 95+, R9 of 72, R13 of 96, and R15 of 96. The cool-beam optical system provides a high-output, high-angle beam capable of tilting up to 60° from nadir, producing up to 5,511 footcandles (59,320 lux) on task from an 8.5' ceiling. This patented optical mechanism enables significantly deeper illumination into the birthing canal—up to 64% deeper than other recessed exam lights—supporting early detection of complications and improving visibility for postpartum repairs. The LED system ensures a long 60,000-hour L70 lifetime and carries a Cyanosis Observation Index of 2.7, meeting AS/NZS 1680.2.5 requirements for critical visual tasks.
Lighting control is an integral part of the system’s functionality. The INFRALED® PRO 60 LED downlight can be operated via a wall-mounted control panel or optional wireless remote, with each controller supporting up to four luminaires from the INFRALED® PRO family. The wall control panel (PRO-WALLC), required for system operation, provides full-function control of power, fixture selection, intensity, and tilt direction. Its tactile-membrane interface and smooth, disinfectant-safe surfaces make it suitable for both patient-side and remote locations, including secure areas outside the room. The panel includes an infrared receiver, a magnetic docking station for the remote control, and optional alternative-channel functionality when multiple controls are used in the same room. When the wall control is located outside the patient space or obstructed from line-of-sight, an optional ceiling-mounted infrared sensor (PRO-SENSR) extends reception and ensures reliable communication, with each wall controller supporting one sensor.
The handheld remote control (PRO-REMOT) mirrors the full functionality of the wall station and enables convenient one-handed operation of power, luminaire selection, intensity, and directional aiming. Its infrared signal is invisible and will not interfere with other equipment, while its impact-resistant design and disinfectant-safe surfaces support rigorous clinical use. A loss-deterring beeper activates if the remote is left undocked and unused for one hour, encouraging proper storage; this can be deactivated via the optional –BI configuration. The remote includes a write-on area for room identification, uses two AA batteries with low standby consumption, and can be ordered with alternative-channel capability for multi-control rooms. When remote operation is needed and the wall control is outside the patient room, the PRO-SENSR accessory ensures reliable infrared reception.
The overall system design reflects Kirlin’s focus on infection control, procedural efficiency, and workspace safety. Fully recessed luminaires eliminate the bulk, drift, and contamination risks associated with boom-mounted exam lights, removing a potential source of infection and keeping the clinician’s workspace clear. The sealed, IP66-rated trims combined with BioGard™ antimicrobial finish and perforation-free housing provide maximum protection against contaminants while ensuring a tight seal between the room and the plenum. Serviceability is streamlined through aperture access and plug-in modular components, including a 35' RJ45 cable between the fixture and wall control, and each unit includes a 2×2 ceiling lay-in panel for simplified installation.
As a system, INFRALED PRO supports configurations of up to four motorized exam lights controlled from a single wall station and optional remote. Any combination of PRO models may be chosen to meet procedural lighting needs, enabling one-touch directional aiming and continuous dimming with consistent optical performance across multiple luminaires. Certified under Build America, Buy America (BABAA), Declare, FCC Part 15, Level 1 Infection Control, and UL Wet-Listed standards, this motorized exam light system provides hospitals and clinicians with a high-control, sealed, and clinically optimized lighting solution for the most demanding environments.
