Frequently asked questions

Frequently asked questions about dental office light

Unfortunately, we currently do not have surgical lights specifically for illuminating the oral cavity in our range. Our focus is on the optimal illumination of the entire treatment room with general lighting, such as ceiling panels or LED pendant lights, as well as articulated and magnifying lights especially for dental work stations and the sterilization room.

Thanks to their excellent light quality (full-spectrum light) and the simple and particularly flat design, the LED panels can be used in a variety of ways - whether in the treatment room, in the waiting area, in reception or in the office.

Especially when we spend a lot of time indoors, natural light is important to keep our body clock in balance and to be able to work with concentration.
