  • Devices, systems, and methods for surgical light spot size adjustment
    Patent number: 12601463
    Abstract: Systems, devices, and methods are described herein for adjusting the spot size of light provided from a surgical light by translating a focus panel relative to a plurality of light emitters. The focus panel can be mounted to the housing of the surgical light such that the focus panel can translate relative to the housing in an axial direction toward and away from the plurality of light emitters. The focus panel can engage with one or more tracks that are movably mounted relative to the housing and controlled via at least one actuator. The actuator(s) can be configured to translate the focus panel towards or away from the plurality of light emitters to adjust the spot size of light provided by the surgical light via the engagement between the focus panel and the one or more tracks.
