The Saros Duo™ recessed tandem healthcare luminaire is a patent-pending fixture designed to support patient wellness, recovery, and circadian health. Its low-profile housing measures 12 inches wide, 4 feet long, and 4 inches deep, making it suitable for installation in restricted plenum spaces. Featuring multiple luminous chambers with gentle curves, the fixture provides even light across patient areas while maintaining an unobtrusive aesthetic. Configured in a master and satellite arrangement, the units connect with a single power feed, and drivers and LED boards are accessible from below the ceiling for simplified installation and maintenance in healthcare facilities.
This luminaire offers multiple lighting functions tailored to patient care, including ambient, exam, reading, and nightlight modes. Three programmable lighting scenes—Daytime, Evening, and Nighttime—support circadian entrainment by delivering recommended Melanopic Equivalent Daylight Illuminance (EDI) levels. Two exam modes, Regular and High, provide 75 or 100 foot-candles at the patient bed while achieving a Cyanosis Observation Index (COI) of 3.3 or less, meeting ANSI/IES RP-29-22 standards. Patient-controlled reading lights deliver targeted illumination for bedside tasks, and a narrow-band amber nightlight without blue wavelengths offers safe low-level light for nighttime use.
The luminaire is designed for easy maintenance and hygiene. A smooth acrylic lens minimizes dust accumulation, and the housing is finished in matte satin white, with an optional antimicrobial coating. Exam LEDs are asymmetrically angled to focus light on the patient bed, while the ambient reflector provides comfortable indirect light. Drivers and LED modules are accessible from below via a drop-down diffuser door, enabling straightforward maintenance without disrupting patient care.
Saros Duo™ employs proprietary linear LED modules mounted on a thermally robust platform to ensure consistent performance and long life. LED outputs are available in 2700K, 3000K, 3500K, and 4000K, with both 80+ and 90+ CRI options, maintaining color consistency within three SDCM. Standard 0–10V dimming drivers are field-replaceable, and an optional low-voltage controller (LVC) allows bedside pillow speakers, side-rail devices, or dry contact switches to control ambient, reading, and exam sources. The LVC supports on/off, step dimming, and 1% dimming, is FCC-compliant, and can integrate with building control networks such as Acuity nLight and Wattstopper DLM.
Installation is flexible, with options for drywall or grid ceilings, Chicago plenum configurations, and New York City flex whips. The tandem luminaire is ideal for overbed installation in patient rooms, examination rooms, and ambulatory care areas, whether deployed individually or in master-satellite pairs. Circuiting can be configured as three circuits, with optional emergency circuits and generator transfer devices available. Each unit weighs under 25 pounds, simplifying handling and installation in restricted plenum spaces.
The Saros Duo™ recessed healthcare luminaire combines patient-centered lighting, advanced lighting control, and practical maintenance features. It delivers circadian-supporting lighting scenes, targeted exam and reading functions, and nightlight capability while offering a master-satellite configuration, accessible service components, and optional antimicrobial finishes. This makes it an effective and adaptable solution for modern healthcare facilities focused on patient comfort, staff efficiency, and clinical compliance.
