LEDs are the best substitutes for incandescent globes and halogens and have very low maintenance cost, but high efficiency. They not only provide a clearer, whiter light, which helps patients feel more at ease, but they also help lower operating costs for the hospital, allowing for that money to be better spent on front-line patient services such as medical supplies and staffing. A recent report shows that sealed LED lighting units protect patients from harmful bacteria, while providing uniformly-distributed dimmable light.
The long LED lifespan (estimated at 60,000 hours or seven years) also eliminates the need for routine bulb replacement, which stops harmful bacteria from being distributed into the atmosphere. Using LED lighting in place of incandescent lighting can also lead to tax breaks, such as the Energy Efficient Commercial Buildings Tax Deduction.
Within the hospital itself, LED lighting can serve as an important component in different patient services. MRI facilities require nonferrous lights because of the magnetic fields from the equipment. Incandescent lighting tends to give off minute impurities that are affected by the high intensity magnetic field of the MRI. This drastically reduces the life of the bulb. Fluorescent lighting is not suitable either because of the noise artifacts generated in scans. In comparison, LED lights are virtually unaffected by magnetic fields, provide no noise interference and last longer.
LED lights are also dimmable, making them ideal for CT scan, ultrasound rooms and other places where adjustable lighting is needed. LED bulbs and tubes are a great “assistant” for surgeons in operating rooms. They deliver high quality light without high temperatures. This allows for surgeons to view body tissue in its natural colors, while at the same time providing a safe environment for the patient.
