Abstract
A light source for testing sites using a fluorescent dye is described. The light source can include a low voltage lamp or a low heat generating lamp.
Claims23
A method of manufacturing a light source comprising:
- providing a housing having a light outlet and an electrical input port, capable of accepting a variety of lamps;
- selecting a lamp from the variety of lamps to fit within the light outlet of the housing;
- securing the lamp to the housing using a mounting cap;
- supplying a voltage regulator to the housing to regulate a source of electricity to match the lamp wherein supplying a voltage regulator includes providing a voltage step down circuit in the housing, the voltage regulator being electrically connected to the electrical input port;
- and providing a switch that reversibly connects the lamp to the source of electricity.
2 more elements
A light source for examination of a substance which emits light at a wavelength greater than a wavelength of light emitted from the light source when the substance is excited by the wavelength of light emitted from the light source, the light source comprising:
- a housing having a light outlet capable of accepting a variety of lamps;
- a lamp oriented to emit light through the light outlet, the light source emitting an excitation wavelengths of light;
- and a voltage regulator capable of supplying the correct voltage to the variety of lamps wherein the voltage regulator includes a voltage step down circuit in the housing.
