  • Publication number: 20250221787
    Abstract: Described herein are surgical lights comprising: a plurality of light generating units, each light generating unit comprising: at least one first light emitter that emits light having a first spectrum, at least one second light emitter that emits light having a second spectrum, and at least one optical element configured to mix the light from the at least one first and second light emitters such that the light generating unit emits light that is a mixture of the first and second spectrums; and a controller configured to adjust relative intensities of the at least one first light emitter and the at least one second light emitter to adjust a spectrum of light generated by the plurality of light generating units.
