A surgical lighthead includes a reflector, a lens coupled to the reflector, and a handle located adjacent the lens. The handle defines an air passage to facilitate installation of a shield over the handle. A lamp assembly includes a support and at least one bulb located on the support between the reflector and the lens. Tubes are mounted in an interior region of the lighthead between the reflector and the lens, and rods are configured to engage the support. Each rod extends through the support and into a corresponding tube. The rods include at least one threaded portion configured to secure the lamp assembly within the interior region. The rods are slidable relative to the tubes upon disengagement of the threaded portions of the rods to permit the lamp assembly to move out of the interior region of the lighthead. The rods include stops to prevent separation of the lamp assembly from the lighthead. A controller turns the bulb on and off and adjusts the intensity level of light emitted from the bulb. Spaced apart first and second displays are coupled to the controller. Each displays an indication of the intensity level of the bulb.
A surgical light apparatus comprising a reflector, a lens coupled to the reflector, a bulb located between the reflector and the lens, a handle located adjacent the lens, a controller coupled to the bulb, and an actuator coupled to the controller to adjust an intensity level of light emitted from the bulb, the actuator being located on the handle, the handle being configured to define an air passage to facilitate installation of a shield over the handle.
A surgical light apparatus comprising a reflector, a lens coupled to the reflector, a bulb located between the reflector and the lens, and a handle located adjacent the lens, the handle being configured to define an air passage to facilitate installation of a shield over the handle, the handle being configured to be rotated about a longitudinal axis to move the bulb relative to the reflector.
A surgical light apparatus comprising a lighthead including a bulb, a lens, a controller for turning the bulb on and off and for adjusting an intensity level of light emitted from the bulb, a first display, and second display spaced apart from the first display, the first display and second display each being coupled to the controller and each being configured to display an indication of the intensity level of the bulb.
A surgical light apparatus comprising a lighthead including a reflector, a lens coupled to the reflector, a plurality of tubes mounted in an interior region of the lighthead between the reflector and the lens, a lamp assembly including a support and at least one bulb, and a plurality of rods configured to engage the support, each rod being configured to extend through the support and into a corresponding tube, the rods including at least one threaded portion configured to secure the lamp assembly within the interior region, the rods being slidable relative to the tubes upon disengagement of the threaded portion of the rods to permit the lamp assembly to move out of the interior region of the lighthead, the rods each being formed to include a stop to prevent separation of the lamp assembly from the lighthead.
A surgical light apparatus comprising a lighthead including a reflector and a lens, a lamp assembly including a support and at least one bulb located on the support, a lamp position adjustment mechanism which is coupled to the support and configured to adjust a position of the lamp assembly relative to the reflector to change a pattern size of reflected light emitted from the apparatus, and a filament shield mounted in an interior region of the lighthead between the reflector and the lens to block light from passing from the at least one bulb directly through the lens, the filament shield being configured to move with the lamp assembly as the position of the lamp assembly is adjusted by the lamp position adjustment mechanism, and the filament shield also being configured to remain in the interior region of the lighthead when the lamp assembly is removed from the interior region.
A surgical light apparatus comprising a reflector, a lens coupled to the reflector, a bulb located between the reflector and the lens, a handle located adjacent the lens, a controller coupled to the bulb, and an actuator coupled to the controller to adjust an intensity level of light emitted from the bulb, the actuator being located on the handle.
A surgical light apparatus comprising a reflector, a lens coupled to the reflector, a bulb located between the reflector and the lens, and a handle located adjacent the lens, the handle being configured to be rotated about a longitudinal axis to move the bulb relative to the reflector.
