Lighting inside an operating room is considered one of the fundamental factors to obtain successful and uncomplicated surgical procedures. This illumination is made through the operation lamps which are special lamps designed to illuminate the surgical area, providing a bright and uniform illumination centered on the operating table during the surgical act.
The main function of the operation lamps is to provide the appropriate lighting during a surgical procedure. The light in these lamps must be white to be able to clearly observe the color of any organ or tissue, as this is an indicator of the patient’s condition and health. These types of lamps are able to provide hours of bright light without overheating the patient or staff involved in the operation.
