MRI StarDomes™

To provide a StarDome™ suitable for an MRI room we were required to provide a product with no incandescent dimming. With this limitation, we went to work on the first MRI StarDome™.

The end result is a StarDome™ with NO electricity in the MRI room – Both the stars and the cove light use only fiber optics to transmit their light.

With the halogen light source for the side emitting fiber optic cove light, and the LED circuit board for the stars in an adjacent utility room, the fibers run through a tube called ‘wave guide’ into the shielded MRI room. To control the cove light, we provided preprogrammed lighting controls so that the cove light is constantly cycling from a day sky to a night sky.

“The patients love it, as well as the staff.”

The characteristics of a StarDome™ reflect ancient philosophies for relaxation, which help to calm patients such as:

• The color blue – which slows the heart rate and lowers blood pressure.
• The circular shape – representing a passage way.
• The constellation patterns – reflecting ancient wisdom
• The day to night transition – represents the ying-yang balance of life.
