Surgical light system and method for operating the surgical light system

A surgical light system comprising

• several light sources configured to respectively generate a specific light field on at least one surgical site to generate a surgical light field, and
• a controller configured to control the several light sources such as to provide and adjust a brightness of the specific light fields, wherein
• the surgical light field is divided into several adjacent sections,
• the several light sources are configured such that the sections are respectively covered by at least one of the specific light fields in order to have a resulting brightness, wherein the size of the at least one specific light field corresponds to the size of the covered section, and
• the controller is configured to control the light sources such that the resulting brightness of the sections is adjustable to a specific brightness, wherein the surgical light system comprises a combined brightness and position sensor configured to detect a brightness in the at least one surgical site, the combined brightness and position sensor is configured to detect a location of an object, the brightness of which exceeds a predefined threshold in the at least one surgical site, and the surgical light system is configured to decrease the resulting brightness of the one of the several sections in which the object, the brightness of which exceeds a predefined threshold, is located.
