Hi, Just from using LED lighting in a domestic situation I know some LED's strobe very badly (more than fluro's), and I wouldn't use them in a workshop where there may be rotating machinery. This is probably not a problem in an operating theatre, but it could be a consideration. I wonder if anyone has done a study of the 100Hz interference into SPO2 monitoring? LED theatre lights would probably not suffer this as I would assume they are driven from DC.
