According to a recent article in LEDs magazine, LED headlamps are currently being developed for surgeons to use.

It’s like my granddad always used to say: “If it’s good enough for surgeons, it’s good enough for you.” Okay, so that’s not exactly what granddad used to say, but you get the idea.
Generally, surgeons use Xenon-based systems which require a separate mount with a fiber-optic cable running to the surgeon’s headset. Not only does this restrict movement, but it creates potential electrical and overheating hazards.
