One panel, endless possibilities

Haneco’s new MATRIX G4 panels bring low glare light (UGR<19) and even illumination to classrooms, offices and medical facilities requiring Cyanosis compliance. Tritone adjustability and high efficiency (up to 124lm/W) make it a perfect, eye-friendly solution for learning, working and healthcare.

The G4 range is the biggest update to LED panels that Haneco Lighting has released to date. Replacing both the outgoing MATRIX G3 and LG (Low Glare) range, MATRIX G4 has combined all of the premium and specialised features into one LED panel that ticks all the boxes:

  • Optimum productivity with flicker-free technology and a low-glare diffuser, the MATRIX G4 promotes a healthier and more productive environment in offices and educational facilities by reducing eye strain and enhancing concentration
  • Greenstar certification for highest sustainability building rating
  • Cyanosis compliance for healthcare facilities
  • Micro-prismatic diffuser By using back-lit technology, the MATRIX G4 panel prevents yellowing and offers superior heat dissipation, reducing the likelihood of frame warping over time

WHAT IS CYANOSIS?

Cyanosis, a condition where the skin or membranes turn bluish or purplish due to low oxygen saturation, is a critical visual symptom that medical professionals are trained to identify. Given its importance in detecting potential cardiac or respiratory issues, many educational and medical facilities are encouraged to use cyanosis-compliant lighting to ensure accurate observation and prompt diagnosis.

 

HOW DOES LIGHTING HELP?

Because cyanosis is a visual cue of a medical symptom based on observable colour, lighting conditions and light quality play a significant part in its visual detection. The detection of a ‘bluing’ of the skin depends largely on the accurate rendition of both ‘normal’ skin tones and blue hues, so it is particularly important that the light colour spectrum (and therefore, Colour Rendering Index) factors are considered when developing a lighting design.

LIGHTING DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS

Interior Lighting Standard AS/NZS 1680.2.5:2018 covers ‘Hospital and medical tasks’, and it introduces the concept of lighting to support the observation of cyanosis. It also establishes the Cyanosis Observation Index (COI) as a measure of the ability of a light source to aid the detection of cyanosis in a patient.

Full requirements which include:

Where it is decided that cyanosis observation is necessary, the lighting should have a colour temperature of between 3300K and 5300K and a COI of 3.3 or less.

All members of the health care team should discuss and decide on which areas need to have lighting which meets these specifications.
