PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS
Product highlights
UNICA 2R Double Reflection
UNICA 860 and 520 use the manufacturer’s double-reflection optics to expand the emitting area and manage glare. This is not a feature of every series.
Indirect Light and Deep 3D Light
U29 and several PENTALED models use indirect light; QUATTROLUCI, PENTALED 28 and SATURNO use direct light. Optical features are model-specific.
Compare output and light-field size
Listed illuminance at 1 m spans 60,000–160,000 lux by model. Compare head size, field diameter, dimming, colour temperature and focus adjustment together.
Plan cameras and integration
The catalogue lists UNICA and U29 heads as camera-ready as standard. Full HD/4K cameras, monitor, IR remote and integration require configuration and quotation checks.
Mounting and documentation
Model-dependent choices include single/double ceiling, wall and mobile configurations. Configuration codes are listed below; use the January 2026 catalogue for procurement comparison.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Additional information
Technology and selection
Start with workflow, working distance, field depth and diameter, then compare head dimensions, shadow management, glare, dimming and controls. 2R is specified for UNICA; features must not be generalized across all models.
Catalogue-listed regulatory references
The January 2026 catalogue references Regulation (EU) 2017/745 and IEC 60601-2-41. These manufacturer references do not replace verification of local registration and documentation for the offered configuration.
Documentation and order scope
Compiled from RIMSA model pages and Medical Catalogue Rev. January 2026. Read illuminance together with measurement distance. Mounts, cameras, batteries and accessories depend on the ordered configuration. Confirm the exact model and supply scope in the quotation. LED life is not a warranty period.

คำถามที่พบบ่อย / FAQ
Which RIMSA surgical lights use 2R?
UNICA 860 and UNICA 520 list 2R Double Reflection. Other models have their own optical systems; 2R is not universal.
Must every surgical light be 160,000 lux?
Do not decide on lux alone. Consider workflow, measurement distance, field size, shadow management, colour temperature and installation space together.
How do PENTALED 30N and 30E differ?
30N uses manual adjustment at the central handle; 30E selects two field sizes at the keypad. Both list 160,000 lux at 1 m, with different field ranges.
Does camera-ready mean a camera is included?
No. Camera-ready indicates provision for a camera. Camera, signal cabling, monitor and integration must be specified in the supply scope.
What should be provided for a quotation?
Provide specialty, preferred model, mounting, room height, number of heads, overhead equipment, electrical requirements, camera/monitor needs and demonstration requirements.
