With a CRI of over 90, the new LED instruments from W&H offer incomparably high colour rendering. In concrete terms, this means that, for the first time, the treatment area and in particular the red tones within the mouth are reproduced in colours that are true to life – a significant advantage for your well-being and a huge relief for your eyes.


W&H LED+



The main W&H advantages at a glance:
  • LED chip placed directly on the light source at the head of the instrument providing the largest illumination area of any dental instrument on the market, 
  • constant optimal colour temperature of 5,500 kelvin, 
  • a colour rendering index of over 90, 
  • constant light quality and luminous intensity of at least 25,000 lux, regardless of the settings on the dental unit's power supply, 
  • completely sterilizable LED product range,  
  • lifespan 10 times longer than conventional halogen light sources, 
  • generator technology: LED light independent from the power supply of the dental unit. 



Not all LEDs are the same – What quality criteria are used to assess LEDs?
  • See contrasts as if in daylight: with a colour temperature of 5,500 K, W&H dental instruments produce a radiation spectrum that corresponds to natural daylight. 
  • High colour rendering index (CRI): with a colour rendering index of over 90, the new W&H dental products enable relaxed work thanks to exceptional reproduction of natural colours and clear colour contrasts. 
  • Light Quality: With W&H instruments, there are no variations in light quality and no adjustments that have to be made by the customer. 
  • LED Positioning: By positioning the LED directly at the head of the instrument and dispensing with fibre optics, W&H has become the first dental manufacturer in the world to make full use of the potential offered by this technology.  
  • Sterilizability: W&H observes the highest standards of hygiene and is the only manufacturer to offer a fully sterilizable LED range.
