Definitions

  • This invention relates to a lighting device which is of compact and adjustable construction.
  • the invention is described hereinafter with particular reference to use in a dental or oral application but it is to be understood that this is exemplary only and is by no means limiting for, in general terms, the lighting device can be used in practically any application e.g. for use with a human, animal or otherwise, in which good lighting is required particularly in a small space or volume in which intricate work, close inspection or examination is to take place.
  • a headlamp i.e. a light which is carried on a band or other attachment secured to the dentist's head
  • the dentist's hands can however interrupt a light beam which is intended to illuminate a work location and, moreover, precise positioning of the light source on the user's head is needed.
  • a lighting device should be small, not interfere with dental work but usable to illuminate all parts of a patient's mouth, and should not discomfort the patient.
  • the invention provides a lighting device which includes an elongate flexible member comprising at least two elongate electrical conductors which are encased in an electrically insulating material, at least part of the member being bendable, within limits, in a non-resilient manner to a desired shape, at least one light source which is connected to the conductors and which is located at or near one end of the member, and a connector for connecting the electrical conductors to an electrical source.
  • the light source is at least one light emitting diode.
  • the light source is mounted to or is in thermal communication with a thermally conductive body.
  • the thermally conductive body serves as a support for the light source and enables the light source to be electrically connected to the electrical conductors. At least one of the electrical conductors is in thermal contact with the thermally conductive body and is able to conduct heat generated by the light source, away from the light source.
  • the lighting device may include a lens or other light dispersing arrangement located, at least, over the light source.
  • the light source produces colour corrected light i.e. light which is substantially at the wave length of natural sunlight.
  • colour corrected light i.e. light which is substantially at the wave length of natural sunlight.
  • This feature also allows for shade taking (measuring) of teeth (in a dental application). This is not limiting though for other colours can be produced by changing the nature of the light source (LED) or by the use of one or more appropriate filters and a number of LEDs.
  • a particular colour can be obtained through the use of multiple light sources, each emitting light of a different colour, and with the emitted lights blended to produce a desired colour.
  • the conductors may be made from any suitable material but preferably are made from copper which is malleable. This feature enables the copper conductors to be bent in a non-resilient manner. In this respect "non-resilient" means that there is no meaningful tendency for the conductors, once bent or deformed, to tend to resume a former position or arrangement. This materially assists in the adjustability of the member and hence of the orientation and position of the light source, during use of the lighting device. To achieve this feature each conductor is preferably a single strand of copper wire of a suitable thickness and malleability. [0019] At least one conductor also acts as a heat sink. Preferably both conductors are used in this way. It is therefore preferred that the cross sectional area of each conductor is substantially greater than what is necessary taking into account only the current carrying capacity required in order to energise the light source.
  • the light source is preferably mounted inside a small housing.
  • the light source may be orientated so that it projects in an axial direction i.e. in a direction which is substantially coincident with a longitudinal axis of the elongate member.
  • the light source projects light mainly transversely to the axial direction - it has been found that this increases the utility of the light source.
  • a light shield may be positioned adjacent the light source to restrict or prevent glare from the light source reaching the operator e.g. a dentist.
  • the lighting device may include a mechanism for adjusting the current or voltage applied to the light source in order to adjust the light output of the light source.
  • the electrical source which is used to power the light source may be a battery, which may be rechargeable, or power may be derived from a mains supply. In the latter case use is made of double insulation techniques in order to ensure that the light source is inherently safe.
  • the electrical source may be rechargeable by engagement with a charging station.
  • the electrical source is in a housing with a control to turn the light source on or off, and to adjust the light output of the light source.
  • the lighting device may be provided in combination with a protective coating which is removable and disposable.
  • the protective coating may be in the form of a thin plasties sheath which at least in the region of the light source is light transmissive. The sheath may be enclosed around the elongate member by means of a zip-type or other easily actuated, and easily released, fastening arrangement.
  • the lighting device may be provided with means for retaining the elongate member engaged with a patient's mouth.
  • the retaining means may be in the form of a hook which is engageable in a non-obtrusive and painless manner with the patient's mouth. The nature of engagement is such that the light source, by bending the elongate member appropriately, is adjustable independently, to a substantial extent, relatively to the retaining mechanism.

  • the elongate member 12 can be bent and manipulated as required to illuminate the patient's mouth. The amount of light emitted by a modern light emitting diode is significant and heat build-up must be minimised at least for the following reasons:
  • the LED junction must not be allowed to exceed 8O 0 C to avoid a shift in the colour spectrum of the emitted light. This is critical because the colour temperature must be controlled within a specified range.
  • the housing which contains the LED is restricted in respect of its maximum volume. Consequently the facility for removing excess heat from the LED is limited. For this reason use is made of the thermally conductive wires.
