Basic Characteristics of Operation Theater Lights

In a hospital, infrastructure and equipment plays a very crucial role. Without them, it is nearly impossible to treat patients properly. One such important furniture especially for operation theaters are the OT lights. Though you might have the right equipment for the proper functioning, the need for right lights always exists.

When the patient is lying in the operation theater, the last thing a doctor wants to be concerned about is the lighting of the operation theater. Thus, the correct lights for the room might seem a very small topic but are very vital. Here are some quick aspects about the OT lights.

  • The prime color suitable for operation rooms is white. Under the white light, doctors can get a better understanding about the actual state and color of the patient's organs, tissues or body parts. 
  • Room should have a good power supply. The better current, the more intense the light gets. 
  • The lights in the operation theaters are structured and constructed in such a way that they are quick and easy to move and adjust. While operating the patient, ot lights which hover above the head of the patient should be easy to handle.
  • Lights of an operation theater are very different from the light we would use in our home, or offices, etc. They should have a longer life and quick maintenance procedure, if any is required.
  • The heat produced from such lights should also be minimal as it could affect the temperature of the room and sudden temperature changes can lead to complications in any operation.
  • Light should avoid producing UV(ultraviolet) rays and IR(infrared) rays. Their direct impact on the organs can have adverse effects.
  • The projection of these lights should be such that they have minimum or no shadow as well so that shadow does not interfere in operations.
