When it comes to recent developments in surgical lighting, facility administrators may find that seeing is believing. Acquaint yourself with the latest lighting technology to see what's shaping the field. Take light-emitting diodes (LEDs), for instance. In a very short time, their bright but cooler light has become a major advance in the OR.
When shopping for lighting upgrades, remember the importance of seeing the lights yourself, in a surgical environment. Details and descriptions guide you part of the way, but when you actually see the light, you realize what a difference it makes in illuminating the tissue of a surgical site.
