ADVANTAGES OF LED OPERATING LIGHTS

Clear view of the operation table, examining of patients in detail, assessing accurate patient position, illumination of local area including deep cavities and narrow surface pertaining to surgery are few of the important factors that facilitate a successful surgical procedure.

The electronic focus with the mixture of cold and warm white LEDs together behind one lens and 2 different optics allows an exact focusing and is very low in maintenance because there are no moveable parts. The cold light of the LED surgical light in an aluminium housing protects the patient’s tissue from drying out and is extremely energy-efficient and durable.

Before electricity allowed lightbulbs to illuminate an operating room, candles were used as a light source during a procedure. Additionally, surgeries were performed during daylight hours so surgeons could use the natural sunlight for illumination.

LED surgical lights come with many advantages. There can be no lighting solution as effective as LED when it comes to accurate clear vision and superior illumination. Here are few advantages of LED OT lights:

  • Whiter lights, improving visibility
  • Emits cold light, thus preventing exposure to infrared radiations
  • No rising of color temperature
  • Light produced in LED is more consistent compared to other lighting solutions
  • Durable and higher product life
  • Reflects homogenous light
  • Better color rendition
  • Excellent shadow control, i.e. shadowless
  • No reflectors with multi-dimensions, thus preventing distraction on the part of the surgeon during a surgical procedure.

Certain surgical procedures take a long time. Besides drying out of exposed tissue due to continued exposure to lights is a risk. LED surgical lights are the solution here. LEDs radiate much less heat compared to other lighting solutions. LEDs also emit cool light, which reduce the risk of drying out of exposed tissue. This is the reason why LED operature theatre lights are in great demand in hospitals across the world.
