LED curing lights have become ubiquitous in virtually all dental practices. Now, LEDs are taking their place in treatment room lighting as well. And for good reason. Just to name a few benefits, LEDs are:
- Energy efficient, producing more light per watt than traditional halogen light sources, lowering energy bills
- Long lasting, virtually eliminating the need for bulb replacement.
- Response Time-saving -- they light up 100-1000x faster than halogen.
- Cool running -- less wasted energy as heat.
- Durability -- Solid state for exceptional shock resistance and precise focusing.
- 10 Times longer life expectancy than halogen
Check out the features of these two recently introduced LED operatory lights from two major equipment manufacturers.
