Colour Temperature
Colour temperature, measured in kelvin (K), describes the appearance of surgical headlight illumination: lower values indicate warmer, yellowish light and higher values cooler, bluish light. Balanced white light without a pronounced tint, strong colour rendering, appropriate brightness and an even, consistent beam support clear visibility while helping limit glare and visual discomfort. No single colour temperature is proven best for every surgeon or procedure, so consider the kelvin value alongside overall illumination quality.
