May 4, 2011 6:21 am | by Alan Campbell, Product Manager, CHROMOPHARE, BERCHTOLD, Corp. | Berchtold Corporation | Articles | CommentsLED lighting’s most unique “green” aspect is its potential to reduce power consumption in the OR. Older halogen lights consume over 200 Watts of power per light head. Some recent halogen designs consumed as much as 400 Watts of power each. Halogen lights require more input power simply because this filament-based (incandescent) technology is much less efficient at turning electrical energy into light than LED.
