This invention is a non-ferrous lighting fixture and non-ferrous lighting
system that can be used in areas with high magnetic fields or that
require low EMI emissions, such as MRI operating rooms. This invention
uses LED's to provide a high-intensity, quality white or other color
light that is softened by reflectors and diffusers, and can be dimmed to
provide flexible lighting levels. The flexible lighting levels can range
from the maximum light used for patient procedures and equipment
servicing/maintenance to the lowest light level used to keep a patient
comfortable while facing upward on the MRI scanning table. Moreover, by
using an aluminum substrate printed circuit board, this invention
resolves the thermal issues associated with high-intensity lighting. Not
only does this invention resolve glare and hot spot issues, it protects
the user and installer from electrical hazards associated with
potentially high voltages, as well. Finally, because this invention is
completely non-ferrous, it does not interfere with the integrity of the
MRI equipment's readings.
