Abstract: The present application relates to a handle device for a surgical light. The handle device may include a grip element which is prepared for being arranged on a lamp holding body of the surgical light and which forms a grip surface at an outer area. A sensor module is detachably connected to the grip element, with the sensor module including at least one distance sensor which is designed for detecting a position of an object. The present application further includes a surgical light including such a handle device.

Abstract: The invention relates to a surgical lamp for illuminating an operating area, including: a number of individual lamps which, in an activated state, form a light beam bundle generating a light field region in an illumination plane wherein a total light field is formed, a brightness detection device to determine an actual brightness value in the total light field, as well as a control unit which acts on the individual lamps such that the illumination intensity is controlled in accordance with the determined actual brightness value, wherein the brightness detection device and the control unit are designed such that an illumination intensity of a first individual lamp can be set in a targeted manner depending on the actual brightness value and same can be set for brightening or dimming a first light field region independently of an illumination intensity of a second individual light.
