curea uses innovative waveguide technology for direction of light and harnesses it to provide a new lighting culture in hospitals and healthcare settings. curea features aesthetic, contemporary design and ensures a pleasant room atmosphere, glare-free lighting and also minimises reflections on display screens of diagnostic equipment and other technical medical apparatus. curea harmoniously complements horizontally and vertically installed medical supply systems building them into attractive supply solutions. curea also boasts every feature needed for perfect bedside lighting when looking after the elderly: the soft light produced by waveguide technology is gentle on both care personnel’s and patients’ eyes, and curea’s plain language of form helps achieve a calm, discreet room impression.
Waveguide technology is based on a light guide made of acrylic glass with an applied microprismatic structure, and ensures selective direction of light. It produces largely low-glare light and pleasant and uniform room lighting. Direct viewing of the light source is prevented and annoying reflections on smooth surfaces and LCD screens are minimised.
curea exploits the properties of the special SLC® linear waveguide which tapers outwards. The light is coupled into the tapering SLC® waveguide. Inside the linear waveguide the light is directed downwards via a combination of precisely arranged linear prisms on the rounded upper side and microprisms on the underside.
