  • Publication number: 20140355268
    Abstract: An examination light apparatus including a touch-less control component that enables a user to control the apparatus without requiring physical contact between the user and the apparatus. The apparatus employs an LED control component that is configured to adapt its electrical interface to a variable quantity of light emitting diodes in order to interface with each of a plurality of lamp heads that each can include a unique arrangement and quantity of light emitting diodes. The light emitting diodes (LEDs) provide a high level of light quality, quantity and intensity (luminosity) while requiring low power consumption and low space and weight requirements and are employed without requiring a cooling fan. Uniform mechanical and electrical interfaces between the control component and other portions of the examination lamp provide for efficient and simple manufacturing of various examination light configurations.

  • Publication number: 20140275790
    Abstract: An illumination device for a speculum may include a first housing part and a second housing part that define a cavity therein. The illumination device may further include a pull tab configured to move from a first position to a second position. When the pull tab moves from the first position to the second position, the pull tab may be disposed so as to allow an electric circuit to be complete so as to provide illumination from an illumination source. When the pull tab is disposed in the first position, the pull tab may be positioned to interrupt the electric circuit such that the illumination device is in an unilluminated state.
