LED Versus Halogen:

Halogen lights were considered the gold standard in medical facilities and operating rooms. However, their light contains many disadvantages and has become a challenge for medical teams in terms of heat dissipation, high energy consumption, bulb life, etc. LED (Lighting Emitting Diode) technology has transformed new and unique features into an essential part of operating rooms. LED technology allows for controlling light temperature, enhancing lighting intensity, increasing bulb life, etc. There are many other reasons that persuade us to upgrade from Halogen to LED light. In this article, we will analyze the differences between Halogen and LED light in more detail.

Lux is the unit of illuminance and measures the amount of light that falls on a surface. The amount of lux produced by LED and halogen lights depends on the wattage of the bulb. A 100-watt halogen bulb produces about 1600 lumens or 16 lux per square meter. A 100-watt LED bulb produces about 1600 lumens or 20 lux per square meter.
