2023 Kirlin Best Practices Webinar Series

We’ve been asked when we’re going to do another series of 20 minute Best Practices webinars on nine key areas around the hospital, and the answer is 2023! 

We’re updating our original series with new products, new vignettes, and new information and will run from March to November. Come for one, come for all and learn some tricks of the trade.  Check out our Events page for all of the webinars, and sign up while you’re there.

New IP66 & Vandal 4″ Square

At our CEU seminar in September, a specifier asked if we could add an IP66-rated square downlight to the line.  While it was something that had been discussed internally in the past, it wasn’t something we offered. 

But, because we love to make our customers’ dreams come true, we dusted the idea off and launched a square trim version of our LRC-04VND and LRC-04IPD fixtures. Now you have the choice between the round or square trim that works best for your behavioral, infection control or IP66 needs.

Symphony Sound Testing

When you’re sitting in a theater or concert hall, the last thing you want to hear while waiting for the performance to start is the fixtures above you buzzing or their active cooling fans running.

With Kirlin’s Symphony solution having passive cooling and a maximum decibel rating of 18.8 dBA (even at 6500 lumens), you don’t have to worry about any of that.  Whether it be downlights, cylinders or sconces, all you’ll hear is the silent anticipation while you wait for the curtain to go up.

Occupancy Sensor for Hitsville

While the Hitsville nightlight offers photocell control, a dorm project on the West Coast called specifically for an integral occupancy sensor solution. 

Engineering sprung into action and wired up a prototype solution for the specifier in record time.  This option has been added the spec sheets and is ready for your projects!

Remember if your project has a need such as this, but the exact solution cannot be found on the Kirlin spec sheet, your search is not over.  Reach out to the Kirlin team, and we will do all we can to get you the win!

Kirlin Launches New Website

We are pleased to announce Kirlin’s new website has been officially launched! We hope you like the added product filters to quickly find what you’re looking for, the addition of application pages for help in designing challenging spaces such as MRIs, Cath Labs, theaters, natatoriums, etc., as well as the rest of the features we’ve included. For a quick walk through of the website, check out this quick YouTube video.

15° Tilt Pan for PRO 45

We have recently added a 15 degree angled trim adapter option to our INFRALED PRO 45 motorized exam light for those spaces where conflicts in the ceiling require the fixtures to be placed further from the patient bed or transfer table than is ideal.  The tilt pan provides additional flexibility to position PRO 45 fixtures where the plenum space allows, without sacrificing coverage of the entire patient area.

MRL-2 wins PIA Award

Kirlin is thrilled to announce that our MRL-2 family of products has won a PIA award from Architectural SSL Magazine!

Kirlin Launches Hitsville Task Light & Nightlight

A sleek and feature-packed luminaire for
healthcare & institutional settings

Ligature-resistant, IK10-rated, and available with capacitive touch and an adjustable light engine, the Hitsville task light (MTT-03TSK) improves the patient experience by creating a sense of control and autonomy over an unfamiliar space.

The companion nightlight (MTT-03NLT) comes with identical faceplates (pill-shaped or rectangular) and all the same listings and options, plus the addition of a photocell to ensure that the fixture turns on at dusk and off at dawn, providing safe light levels at all times.
