Abstract

This disclosure relates to a surgical lighting device comprising a shell (12), a plurality of light sources (24) coupled to the shell, and a closure plate (18) for closing the lighting device by allowing light to pass through. The closure plate comprises a plurality of lens elements, each lens element being configured to collect and focus light from a corresponding light source to generate a light spot of a predetermined diameter located at a predetermined distance from the lighting device. In order to simplify the structure of the lighting device, the light sources and the cover plate are arranged in such a way that the light beams coming from the light sources and received by the associated lens elements arrive at the lens elements without substantial reflection or deflection. The closure plate therefore comprises all the optics necessary for collecting and focusing the light from the light sources.

A medical lighting device for illuminating an operative field, which device includes light-emitting diode (LED) light sources that cooperate with collimator optical systems to light the operative field. LEDs are mounted on a flat printed circuit board so that their illumination axes (B) passing through the collimator optical systems (7) have different angular orientations. The printed circuit board (6) may be cut out to form tongues, each of which is flexible and has a free end carrying an LED. Each tongue can be deformed under stress in such a manner that its free end is oriented substantially perpendicularly to the illumination axis (B).

Abstract

A medical lighting device (1) for lighting a surgical site (2) comprises: a lighthead (3) providing axial illumination, which lighthead is intended to be mounted so as to be movable above the surgical site so as to be able to be brought closer or moved further away from the surgical site manually; and a system for assisting with the adjustment of a correct lighting position of the lighthead with respect to the surgical site in such a way as to position the lighthead at a preset distance from the surgical site. The system for assisting with the adjustment comprises at least one first light source for generating a first light beam and one second light source for generating a second light beam; the light sources are placed on the lighthead angularly offset in such a way that the first and second beams converge on a point (8) on the surgical site when the preset distance is reached and at other distances the two beams form two separate spots of light.

Abstract

A lighting device for illuminating an operative field comprises, in an axial lighting dome, a first ring of LEDs at a first color temperature, and a second ring of LEDs at a second color temperature different from said first color temperature, and an annular facetted mirror having semi-reflective facets and arranged about the same axis as said rings of LEDs. Collimation optical systems are provided between each ring of LEDs and the annular facetted mirror having semi-reflective facets. The annular facetted mirror having semi-reflective facets mixes the collimated light beams emitted by the two rings of LEDs coupled to the collimators, and forms first and second collimated resulting mixed light beams having the same intermediate color temperature. An annular facetted mirror having plane facets surrounds the annular facetted mirror having semi-reflective facets so as to reflect the first collimated resulting mixed light beam to combine it with said second collimated resulting mixed light beam in the operative field in a certain superposition configuration in a superposition plane in which an illumination spot is formed.

Abstract

The lighting apparatus includes: - a lighting device with a plurality of light sources for providing white light having a tunable light spectrum; and - a monitoring/control device that controls the light sources according to a demodulation cycle of the light spectrum that includes a first period where the light spectrum is red-enriched, a second period where the spectrum is gradually modulated from red to blue, a third period where the spectrum is blue-enriched, and a fourth period where the spectrum is gradually modulated from blue to red. The monitoring/control device is arranged so as to detect reception of a signal indicating a human presence and, in response, reset the modulation cycle when it is in the first period or gradually modulate the spectrum from blue to red when the modulation cycle is in the second, third, or fourth periods before resetting the modulation cycle.
