Thanks!

LED lights last MUCH longer than traditional bulbs. They can be very bright or dimmed down. If you are doing a SL exam, I imagine that the brightness to the patient would be about the same. If you were doing photography, the brightness would need to high to simulate a flash, even if using a longer exposure. LEDs do not give off any heat. They are the future of lighting devices. All these ideas are my subjective thoughts - take with salt!
