@PieterPeach I have zero cool white or "daylight" lights in my house (even, I think, the fridge where I put an LED in for non-economic reasons)
They are a little more efficient than warm white, because fluorescent & LED lights start with UV or blue & shift it down towards red.
Current LEDs use 40% less power than the long fluorescent bulbs, so there's room for the slight efficiency cost of warm white.

Mega #Pfizer drug factory in North Carolina hit by an F3 tornado (7/19/23)
"The Pfizer facility has more than 1.4 million square feet of manufacturing space and sits on 250 acres. The company says it is one of the largest plants of its kind in the world. According to a Pfizer website, the plant produces #anesthesia and other drugs as well as nearly 25% of all sterile injectable #medications used in U.S. hospitals"
I often wonder if any other anaesthetists tape over drugs the patient is allergic to (or in which a drug is contraindicated) in the drug trolley to reduce the risk of accidental administration.
PSA for #RedHead folks, #gingers, or whatever else you lovely people with #RedHair call yourselves!
If you didn’t already know, a LOT of redheads need more #anesthesia than average for their size (but may also be more sensitive to opioid meds)! Here’s a couple reference links if you find yourself needing to enlighten an uninformed doctor: https://www.healthline.com/health/redheads-and-anesthesia
Whatever you do you as an anaesthetic department, don’t buy the Draeger Perseus A500. It has a uniquely terrible knocking sound during IPPV that the company is unable to fix. #anesthesia#anaesthesia
