Mobile surgical lighting for medical teams, where infrastructure is missing.
Stable, shadow-reduced surgical light that is set up quickly – in tents, vehicles and clinics without reliable power.
Crises and disasters are increasing – mobile medical units lack reliable surgical lighting.
Armed conflicts are rising
2025: 65 active conflicts worldwide – the highest number since 1946. (UCDP, 2026)
Disasters are increasing
In 2026 more than 240 million people need humanitarian aid. By 2030 the UN expects an average of 1.5 disasters per day. (OCHA, UNDRR)
Born in surgical practice
The Bright Light grew out of the field experience of Norwegian surgeon Dr. Lars Fredrik Norum.
Survey of 100 surgeons in 39 countries: inadequate surgical lighting is a safety risk.
Stable surgical lighting that is set up quickly and easily in a rapidly changing environment.
One light module – many places to use it.
Every configuration is built on the TBL-30 light module: single, as a pair, on a tripod, in a vehicle or as a set of four.
