OUT WITH THE OLD AND IN WITH….COLLIER’S MEDICAL REFURBISHED SKYTRON LEDs!!!!!!!  Skytron lights stand the test of time, literally, almost 30 years since Collier’s originally installed these in every C Section room at Novant Presby Main.  With the LED upgrade we performed, Novant was able to repurpose the arm set and just change out the light heads & wall control.  Result being, Novant upgrading their lighting to current LED technology for a fraction of the cost.  The enhanced lighting and shadow control will benefit patients as well as reduce eye fatigue of clinical staff for years to come.
