title: Stars of the theatre show true colours.
abstract: With surgical advances seeing hospitals and other healthcare facilities now undertaking an ever wide range of procedures, increasing emphasis is now being placed on the quality of the lighting installed in operating theatres, where 'older' technologies like halogen and xenon gas discharge are increasingly being superseded by LED. HEJ editor Jonathan Baillie considers some of the key criteria for healthcare estates/engineering and clinical personnel considering purchasing operating lights, and discovers some of the innovations now on offer from leading suppliers.
