Blackstone HS-015E

Product Code: HFAF-ML-3290

Compact 500 mm LED Head with 48 Emitters on a Castored Stand, 40 to 160 Kilolux, Ra 95 and Above, with Light Shielding Compensation and Electric Focus as Options

The Blackstone HS-015E is a mobile satellite light with 48 emitters in a 500 mm head on a castored stand. It is a version of Blackstone's compact mobile lamp that includes two optional extras: light-shielding compensation and electric focus. Output spans ten settings between 40 and 160 kilolux, colour is rendered at Ra 95 or above, and it has R9 and endoscope modes as standard. Available through Medigear.uk.

The HS-015E is the optioned counterpart to the HS-014E. Its sheet matches that model line for line until the final two entries, which add the shielding compensation and electric focus options. The 500 mm head, 48 emitters, wheeled stand, and LCD panel on the yoke are shared. On a single small head, that difference counts for more than it might seem, because these two functions help one light cope when it works alone or beside a larger one.

Shielding compensation is meant to hold light on the field while part of the head is obstructed. In the usual design, when a head or shoulder covers some emitters, the lamp drives the uncovered ones harder to make up the loss. Electric focus changes the size of the lit field with a motor, usually from the panel, so an assistant can widen or narrow it without handling the head. Used as a mobile satellite light beside a ceiling unit, the pair lets the smaller head match its field to the main light. It also keeps contributing when someone leans in.

The sheet leaves out how well either option works. It gives no range for the field sizes the focus covers. Nor is there a shadow dilution result with compensation on or off, although IEC 60601-2-41 expects such results to be reported. Two more questions follow. Does compensation still act at the top step, where the head already gives the 160 kilolux the standard allows? And can either option be fitted to an HS-014E later? Medigear.uk puts all of this to Blackstone, along with the stand details, before specifying the HS-015E.

The options earn their place when one small light carries the work alone. In a birth room during perineal repair, or an emergency cubicle during wound closure, the clinician leans over the site, and a single head is easily blocked. Compensation helps hold light on the field through those moments. Outpatient procedure rooms and minor surgery suites see the same pattern whenever a room has only one light. Focus lets the assistant tighten the field onto a small wound or open it out for a larger area, all without anyone handling the head.

In theatre, the HS-015E works best as a mobile satellite light alongside a fixed ceiling head. You can bring it to the side opposite the main head, focus it to match its field, and leave it to fill shadows while the ceiling light does the main work. Lists that mix laparoscopic and open cases can use the endoscope mode on the same unit. Ten brightness steps reduce glare for patients who stay awake during minor procedures, and ten colour temperature settings let staff choose a warmer or cooler white.

Colour-critical work gets the same support as on the larger Blackstone lamps, with Ra 95 or better and an R9 mode. The question to ask before choosing between this model and the HS-014E is simple: will the light often work alone, over a small field, with staff leaning in? If so, the options are worth specifying.

Medigear.uk confirms how each option behaves, obtains the missing optical figures and passes them to the clinical lead together with the stand information.

Both Options Available

A buyer can specify light shielding compensation, electric focus or both on a compact mobile head, which the HS-014E sheet does not offer.

Built for Satellite Duty

As a mobile satellite light, focus lets the head match its field to a ceiling light, and compensation keeps its contribution when staff lean in.

Hands-Free Field Size

With electric focus fitted, you can adjust the field from the panel instead of at the head.

Single-Head Shadow Support

Compensation gives a lone 500 mm head a way to recover light that its 48 emitters cannot provide by angle alone.

Theatre-Grade Output

The quoted 40 to 160 kilolux spans the full central illuminance band of IEC 60601-2-41.

Colour for Tissue Work

Colour rendering of at least Ra 95, with an R9 mode on top, supports judgements that rely on colour, from perfusion to wound margins.

Moves Where It Is Needed

A castored stand takes it between birth rooms, cubicles and theatres with no ceiling work.

Ten Steps of Brightness and Colour

Both adjust through ten settings so that you can match the light to the task and the patient.

Compact 500 mm Head

Forty-eight emitters.

Optional Shielding Compensation

Holds light when the head is partly blocked.

Optional Electric Focus

Motorised field size control.

40 to 160 Kilolux

Ten brightness settings.

Ra 95 or Above

Plus a red and green R9 mode.

Endoscope Mode

For screen-guided procedures.

LCD Control Panel

Fixed on the yoke.

Castor Mobile Stand

No ceiling fixing required.

Order the HS-015E when a compact mobile light needs to do more than light a field from one direction. It shares its sheet figures, stand and panel with the HS-014E. It adds the two functions a single head lacks: compensation for when it is blocked, and motorised focus for resizing the field. That makes it the better mobile satellite light for theatre, and the stronger choice for rooms where one light works alone. How well either option performs is not on the sheet. Nor are the focus range, shadow dilution results, retrofit terms or the usual stand data. Medigear.uk obtains those from Blackstone and confirms which configuration a buyer is ordering.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything buyers need to know about sourcing medical equipment through MediGear.

A compact mobile light with a 500 mm LED head that holds 48 emitters, mounted on castors. Brightness runs through ten steps to 160 kilolux, colour rendering is Ra 95 or better, and it has ten colour temperature settings, an LCD panel, and R9 and endoscope modes. Both optional functions, shielding compensation and electric focus, appear on its sheet.

It adds a second, movable source beside a fixed ceiling light. Placed opposite the main head, it lights the field from another angle and fills the shadows one light leaves behind. The HS-015E can also work on its own in smaller rooms, where its optional functions help a single head.

It aims to keep the wound lit when someone gets between the light and the field. When a head or hand blocks some emitters, the lamp raises the output of those still clear, so the light reaching the wound drops less. Blackstone gives no figures for how quickly or how far it compensates, and those are requested.

It changes how wide the pool of light is. A motor adjusts it, normally from the control panel, so staff can narrow the light onto a small wound or widen it without touching the head. Blackstone does not publish the range of field diameters the focus covers, which is the figure that shows how useful it is.

The sheet does not say. Some buyers may prefer to start without them and upgrade, but that only works if the head is built to accept them after delivery. Medigear.uk asks Blackstone whether either function can be retrofitted before an order is placed.

That is a fair question to put to Blackstone. At the top step, the head already gives 160 kilolux, the most IEC 60601-2-41 allows from one light, so there may be little room to drive the remaining emitters harder. How the function behaves at each step is requested.

Output runs from 40 up to 160 kilolux across ten settings, and the colour rendering index is at least 95, while an R9 setting covers deep reds. Nothing is published for the field diameter, the depth of illumination or irradiance, or for the kelvin range behind the colour temperature settings.

Which options are wanted, how each performs and whether they can be fitted later, plus the stand's weight, footprint, castors, brakes, reach and stability results. The sheet also omits battery and mains details, how the handle is sterilised, the packed size, warranty, delivery time and whether the light is CE or UKCA marked.
