1. What is a Cleanroom Medical Light? What is it used for?

A cleanroom medical light is a type of lighting fixture specifically designed for environments with strict cleanliness requirements, such as operating rooms, laboratories, isolation rooms, ICUs, microbiology labs, and other medical facilities. Unlike conventional household lighting, cleanroom lights not only ensure consistent illumination but also minimize dust generation, bacterial contamination, and turbulent airflow — all of which could compromise sterility in sensitive medical zones.

Key Roles of Cleanroom Lights in Medical Environments:

  • Provide uniform, glare-free lighting to help healthcare professionals perform precise operations.
  • Prevent dust accumulation or electrostatic discharge, maintaining clean air integrity.
  • Support pressure control, airflow direction, and cleanliness levels according to ISO 14644 or GMP standards.
  • Optimize working conditions in areas with high cross-contamination risks.

Technical Requirements for Cleanroom Medical Lights:

  • Airtight construction, easy to clean, with no exposed gaps or joints.
  • Anti-corrosion and antimicrobial materials; typically stainless steel or powder-coated aluminum housings.
  • Color rendering index (CRI) >80, and color temperature between 4000K-6500K, compliant with healthcare lighting standards.
  • Flicker-free light with no electromagnetic interference to sensitive medical equipment.
  • Certified to TCVN 7114-1:2008, IEC 60598, or ISO cleanroom Class 5-8 standards.

5. FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions about Cleanroom Medical Lighting

1. How is a cleanroom medical LED light different from a regular LED light?


Cleanroom medical lights are tightly sealed, dust-free, bacteria-resistant, and made from antimicrobial materials. Additionally, they comply with standards like ISO 14644 and TCVN 7114, designed for use in positive pressure environments to prevent cross-contamination — features that regular LED lights do not offer.

2. Which lights are suitable for ISO 7 or ISO 8 cleanrooms?


For ISO 7-8 cleanrooms, it is recommended to use recessed LED Panel lights (600x600mm or 300x1200mm) with aluminum or stainless steel housing for easy cleaning and non-disruptive airflow. If water resistance is needed, IP65-rated lights are preferable.

3. Can cleanroom LED lights be installed on aluminum panel ceilings?


Yes. Models like LED Panel 300x600, 600x600, and 300x1200mm are designed to fit standard aluminum cleanroom ceiling systems. You can choose between recessed or surface-mounted options depending on your ceiling configuration.

4. What is the lifespan and warranty of cleanroom lights?


The average lifespan ranges from 30,000 to 50,000 hours. VCR offers warranties from 12 to 36 months depending on the light model and usage conditions. Most panel and batten light models are easy to maintain and have replaceable components to reduce maintenance costs.

5. Is lighting certification required after installation in cleanrooms?

Yes. Areas like operating rooms, laboratories, and pharmaceutical compounding zones must meet specific lux levels per ISO and TCVN standards. VCR provides on-site lighting tests to ensure compliance with GMP, ISO 14644, or ISO 17025 certification requirements.
