"Rimsa, a medical and industrial lighting manufacturer based in Italy, is using Lumileds' advanced LED technology to develop the world's first surgical lamp with 100% cold light and a 50 000-hour life...."

Will be interested to see the lighting on the surgical field, bottom line. Looking forward to trying a "cool" light. But sometimes it is too darned cold in the OR, especially with the first case (e.g. 7:00 a.m.) A warm light can feel nice, then.

Other times it can fry you, especially when someone swings it around for another angle and it sweeps the back of your neck.

Too hot in here for ya? NO, I'm actually breaking out in a COLD sweat....
