Medical examination lights are used to create the ideal visual conditions for a doctor to identify any possible medical signs or symptoms of a medical condition. These task lights produce controlled beams of high color rendering, uniformly distributed light that allows the physician to make an accurate diagnosis. The design and constructional principle of an exam light have been optimized for ergonomics, maneuverability, sterilizability, easy positioning and minimum space consumption.
A medical examination light typical has a lightweight lighthead supported by a gooseneck or articulated arm. It may be attached to a ceiling, a wall, or medical equipment such as a patient table or chair. However, mobile, flood standing lights are a more common design. The flood stands are available with fixed or adjustable height and receive stability through a weighted base. The exam light may be given mobility by four wheels which are attached to the bottom of the base. The wheel is a swivel caster that can rotate 360 degrees. The rolling stand has a braking mechanism that can lock the wheels for still positioning.
