Abstract: An operating lamp system is provided that includes several operating lamps, each including a controller. The controllers are interconnected via data lines, wherein data exchange is provided between the controllers. This permits synchronization of the operating lamps.

Abstract: An operating lamp has operator controls that include several operating parameter display fields for displaying adjustable parameters of operating states of the operating lamp, and a control element, such as a manipulable knob, for setting those parameters. The same control element also emits control signals for changing the operating state.

Abstract: A surgical lighting system includes a control device operable to adjust a color temperature of the surgical lamp, a camera, an image processing device, and means for transmitting color temperature information, corresponding to a set color temperature of the surgical lamp, to the image processing device.

Abstract: A surgical lamp includes a lamp body with illuminants emitting bundled light beams with axes intersect a central axis of the lamp body, and illuminants emitting bundled light beams with axes that do not intersect the central axis. The shape of the light field and the distribution of the light intensity can be modified by driving different illuminants.

Abstract: A surgical lamp that includes a lamp body having a central axis, and a suspension system for connecting the lamp body with a carrying system. The suspension system can include a first pivot joint around a first pivot axis that is perpendicular to the central axis, and the first pivot joint can be located in the central region of the lamp body.

Abstract: A surgical lamp includes a lamp body with illuminants. Axes of bundled light beams emitted by the illuminants intersect a central axis at different positions along the central axis.

Abstract: A surgical lamp that includes a carrying system, a lamp body, and at least one handle having an illuminant. The handle is at least partially formed of a translucent material.

Abstract: An operating lamp includes at least one white light source for illuminating an operating area, a plurality of colored light sources for illuminating the operating area, and a controller adapted for dimming a light intensity and controlling a spectrum of a combined illumination from the white light source and the colored light sources on the operating area.

Abstract: A lighting apparatus including a number of light modules oriented to illuminate a work site, an array of individually controllable lights disposed on each of the light modules, and a lighting controller configured to individually control the lights disposed on the light modules to selectively define concentric illumination zones.

Abstract: An operating lamp for illumination of an illumination field includes a plurality of individual light modules connected together to form a light source. Each module includes a housing and at least one illumination means disposed in the housing. The housings include a surface having mechanical connectors adapted for coupling to the housing of an adjacent light module and electrical connectors adapted for controlling the illumination means and for connecting the illumination means to an electrical current supply.

Abstract: An operating lamp includes a lamp body for receiving a light source, a first light source housed in the lamp body and adapted for illuminating an illumination area of an operating area, and a second light source housed in the lamp body and adapted for illuminating a central portion of the illumination area. The brightness of the second light source is controllable independently of the brightness of the first light source to enhance the brightness of the central portion of the illumination area.

Abstract: A coupling mechanism for selectively coupling an equipment rack to a stationary receptacle unit and to a mobile equipment cart, the coupling mechanism includes a suspension mount disposed on the equipment rack, a first receptacle element, and a second receptacle element. The first receptacle element is disposed on the stationary receptacle unit and configured to receive the suspension mount of the equipment rack to support the equipment rack on the stationary receptacle unit. The second receptacle element disposed on the mobile equipment cart and configured to receive the suspension mount of the equipment rack to support the equipment rack on the equipment cart. The second receptacle element is movable along a column of the equipment cart.

Abstract: An operating lamp includes a plurality of illumination elements arranged in discrete groups. The illumination elements include at least one white illumination element, adapted to emit a white light, and multiple colored illumination elements, each adapted to emit a non-white, colored light. The operating lamp also includes a controller in communication with the illumination elements, and one or more storage devices configured to communicate with the controller. Each of the storage devices is associated with one or more of the groups of illumination elements, and each of the storage devices contains a set of power values for each associated group. The controller is configured to control illumination of each group of illumination elements individually, based on the associated power values.

Abstract: For the video recording of a field illuminated by a lamp, especially a surgical lamp, where at least one light beam for illuminating the field emerges from a light exit area of a lamp housing in the direction of a predetermined housing axis, the optical axis of a video camera mounted with freedom to swivel a certain distance away from the exit point of the light beam is shifted automatically by a positioning element until the axis at least approximately intersects the light beam in the area of the illuminated field. The positioning element is driven by signals from a control unit. The video camera is preferably shifted in a stepwise manner. The distance to the illuminated field is determined by the fine focusing of the camera by the autofocus function, and then signals are transmitted from the control unit to the positioning element of the camera to compensate for the parallax between the optical axis of the camera and the light beam or beams emerging from the lamp.
