Lights On is Grey Atlantic's zero-downtime, modular surgical light upgrade program. It allows hospitals, surgery centers, and IDNs to replace aging Stryker Visum I and Visum II surgical lights with the Solis 160 overnight, with no above-ceiling work, no structural modification, and no disruption to the surgical schedule.

The name reflects the core promise of the program. The OR is operational at the end of the day. The OR is operational the next morning. The lights stay on. Your block schedule, your case volume, and your surgical team's workflow are never interrupted.

A traditional upgrade requires a general contractor, above-ceiling structural work, OR closure for one to two days per room, displaced surgical cases, and a multi-week project timeline. Lights On eliminates every one of those steps.

Traditional path: Capital project, GC coordination, ceiling work, OR shutdown, case displacement, schedule impact.

Lights On path: One technician, standard tools, overnight install, no ceiling work, no schedule impact.

The program is designed for any U.S. facility currently operating Stryker Visum I or Visum II surgical lights. This includes hospitals, IDN-owned acute care facilities, ambulatory surgery centers, specialty surgical hospitals, and academic medical centers.

Less than one day per OR. A single trained technician completes the full swap after the day's final case using only standard hand tools. Most installations are completed overnight, and the OR is fully operational for the first case the following morning.

No. The Solis 160 mounts directly to the existing ceiling infrastructure used by Stryker Visum I and Visum II systems. There is no demolition, no drywall work, no above-ceiling access, and no impact to HVAC, fire suppression, or electrical conduit runs.

Only after the last surgical case of the day. The technician arrives at scheduled close, completes the swap during off-hours, and the room is signed off and ready for the first case the next morning.

No. Grey Atlantic manages the entire process end-to-end. There is no GC engagement required, no construction permitting required for the swap itself, and no project management burden on the facility.

Access to the OR after the final case, a brief room turnover, and a designated point of contact from clinical engineering or facilities. That is the full scope of what the facility needs to provide.

This depends on facility size, scheduling, and the number of technicians deployed. A single technician completes one OR per shift. Multi-OR rollouts are scaled by adding technicians and sequencing rooms. A four-OR facility can typically be completed in a single weekend.

Grey Atlantic removes and disposes of the legacy lights as part of the program. The facility receives documentation of removal for asset records. Trade-in or buyback options are available in select circumstances and can be discussed with your Grey Atlantic representative.

The Solis 160 outperforms Visum I and II on every measurable clinical metric.

The Solis 160 includes an integrated in-light camera with 30x optical zoom. The camera is fully remote-controlled by the circulator, eliminating the need for the surgeon or scrub team to reach into the sterile field. The output integrates with most OR video routing systems for live capture, recording, telementoring, and OR-to-OR observation.

The Solis 160 is precision-balanced for smooth, intuitive movement. The light head moves on demand and stays where placed. The lifetime no-drift warranty backs this performance for the operational life of the light.

Grey Atlantic provides on-site clinical orientation at the time of installation. Most surgeons are fully oriented within minutes. For service line directors who want a deeper rollout, structured in-service training is available.

Yes. The Solis 160 is rated for general surgery, orthopedics, neurosurgery, cardiothoracic, vascular, OB/GYN, urology, ENT, and minimally invasive surgery. The endolight mode (3,000 to 48,000 lux) supports MIS and laparoscopic procedures where standard surgical illumination is too bright for monitor visualization.

None. The swap uses the existing ceiling-mounted infrastructure. The Solis 160 is engineered to interface directly with the suspension and power connections already in place from the Visum installation.

The Solis 160 connects to the existing electrical service used by the legacy Visum system. No new circuits, no panel work, and no electrical shutdown is required for the swap itself.

The Solis 160 is engineered to operate within the structural envelope of the existing Visum mounting. Load specifications are confirmed during the pre-install site survey, which is included in every Lights On engagement.

No. Because the swap does not breach the ceiling plane, there is no impact on HVAC, laminar airflow systems, fire sprinkler heads, or any above-ceiling utilities.

Standard infection prevention review is recommended for any in-OR work. Because the install is contained to the room itself with no construction debris, no above-ceiling exposure, and no extended room downtime, the IP profile is significantly lower than a traditional capital upgrade.

The Lights On install does not generate the airborne contaminants, debris, or extended construction zones that drive ICRA Class III or IV requirements. Most facilities classify the work at a lower ICRA level. Final classification is determined by the facility's IP and engineering teams during the pre-install review.

Lights On is priced as a turnkey, per-OR program that includes the Solis 160 system, all swap-kit components, installation labor, removal of legacy equipment, on-site clinical orientation, and the full warranty package. Pricing is provided by Grey Atlantic on a facility-specific basis after the initial site survey.

Most facilities classify the Solis 160 as a capital purchase given the asset life. Grey Atlantic supports both capital and operating-lease structures, including multi-year payment terms for IDN-wide rollouts. Speak with your Grey Atlantic representative about the structure that best fits your finance team's preferences.

Grey Atlantic is actively engaging with all major GPOs to make the Lights On program available through standard contracted channels. Current GPO availability can be confirmed by your Grey Atlantic representative.

The Lights On program eliminates several hidden costs that drive traditional capital upgrades well beyond the equipment line item.

• No general contractor markup.
• No OR downtime cost (approximately $100,000 per OR per day in lost contribution margin).
• No case displacement or rescheduling cost.
• No project management overhead.
• 5-year warranty and lifetime no-drift warranty extend the asset life and reduce service spend.

A facility-specific TCO analysis is included in every formal proposal.

Yes. The program is designed for phased rollouts, including OR-by-OR within a single facility, building-by-building within a campus, and site-by-site across an IDN. Grey Atlantic coordinates the entire deployment timeline.

Yes. Grey Atlantic offers tiered enterprise pricing for multi-facility IDN engagements. Terms are structured around the total program size and rollout schedule.

48,000 to 160,000 lux, fully dimmable. Peak central illumination matches the Stryker Visum I and II at 160,000 lux while extending the dimmable range substantially lower for endolight applications.

CRI 98, with R9 of 99 and R13 of 99. Higher CRI supports more accurate tissue differentiation, particularly across reds and skin tones, which directly impacts visualization quality during long procedures.

Greater than 60,000 operating hours, exceeding the published lifetime of the legacy Visum platform.

90 precision LED modules per head, the same count as the Visum I and II, but engineered with newer 2026 reflective technology for substantially improved performance across CRI, R9, and depth of field.

Yes. The integrated in-light camera output is compatible with most OR video routing systems used today. Specific integration details are confirmed during the site survey.

Every Solis 160 deployed under the Lights On program is backed by a 5-year standard warranty covering parts and performance, plus a lifetime no-drift warranty on the suspension and balance system.

The no-drift warranty covers the precision-balanced suspension that controls light head positioning. If the light head ever drifts from where the surgical team places it, Grey Atlantic will service the suspension at no cost for the operational life of the unit.

Grey Atlantic operates a national service network with authorized field service partners covering the United States. Service requests can be initiated through the Grey Atlantic service line or through your facility's existing biomedical service workflow.

Yes. Grey Atlantic provides biomed-level training and authorized service partnerships with all major HTM organizations. Internal biomed staff can be trained and certified to perform first-line service on the Solis 160.

Standard response targets are 24 hours for clinical-impact issues and 72 hours for non-urgent service. Premium service tiers with shorter response times are available for facilities requiring elevated SLAs.

No. The OR is closed normally after the final case. The technician arrives and completes the swap. The room is ready for the next morning's first case. Staff workflow is not modified.

Most clinical teams report finding the new light in place when they arrive the next morning, with no awareness that an upgrade happened overnight. Surgeon orientation is offered at install but is not required for normal operation.

Brief orientation is provided for the touch panel and the circulator-controlled in-light camera. Most circulators are fully comfortable within a single shift. Training materials and quick-reference guides are provided for ongoing reference.

Surgeons accustomed to Visum I or II generally find the Solis 160 to be a substantial visual upgrade due to higher CRI, deeper depth of field, and adjustable color temperature. Grey Atlantic clinical specialists are available for on-site consultation in the rare case where additional setup support is needed.

If your facility currently operates Stryker Visum I or Visum II surgical lights anywhere in the United States, you are eligible. Grey Atlantic conducts a no-cost site survey to confirm compatibility and configuration before any commitment.

The Lights On swap kit is purpose-engineered for Stryker Visum I and II infrastructure. For facilities operating other legacy systems (Steris, Skytron, Trumpf, Maquet, others), Grey Atlantic offers traditional Solis 160 installation with standard project planning. Speak with your Grey Atlantic representative for non-Visum facilities.

No. The Lights On swap is independent of any boom system or above-ceiling integration. Existing Stryker booms, monitors, and equipment columns remain untouched.

Lights On accommodates the standard Visum mounting configurations across single-head, dual-head, 5-pole, and 9-pole installations. Unusual or custom configurations are confirmed during the site survey. To date, the program has accommodated the full range of standard and most non-standard OR layouts in the U.S. market.

Grey Atlantic combines deep healthcare capital equipment expertise with a modular construction operating model, supported by exclusive U.S. distribution rights for the Solis 160 line. Leadership includes Stryker veterans with established health system, GPO, and IDN relationships, and operational expertise from Boston Dynamics-era robotics research and Mass General Hospital project delivery.

Lights On is designed to be the lowest-friction line item in any capital plan. Because it eliminates downtime, displacement, and construction overhead, it can be executed in capital cycles where larger projects cannot fit and can be deployed without contending for OR block time.

Yes. Many facilities combine Lights On with Grey Atlantic's Spaces immersive collaboration platform for OR planning and design, with broader surgical equipment refresh programs, and with modular construction services for adjacent procedural areas. Bundling is supported through coordinated commercial planning.

Yes. Grey Atlantic can provide reference accounts, case studies, and direct introductions to facilities that have completed Lights On installations. Reference engagements are coordinated under appropriate confidentiality arrangements.

Contact Grey Atlantic to schedule a no-cost site survey. The site survey includes confirmation of swap eligibility, configuration scoping, scheduling discussion, and a turnkey program proposal.
