  • Are planning to buy a new medical headlight? If
    so, consider knowing first the most important
    factors that you need to consider when buying a
    new headlight. These factors are critical as they
    help you find the right headlight for your needs.
  • Despite the presence of operating overhead lamps,
    many dentists and medical professionals prefer to
    use medical headlights, especially during long
    procedures. This portable illumination device
    gives professionals more freedom of movement,
    allowing them to move around without manually
    adjusting the angle of the light from time to
    time.

Medical Headlights
  • Because medical headlights are usually mounted on
    a wrap around the head strap or perhaps on the
    carrier lens of the surgical glasses, you can
    easily adjust them by just moving your head
    towards the direction of the operating field.
    Apart from that, surgical headlight also provides
    a stable, reliable, high quality, bright, and
    shadow-free illumination, thus, making it
    possible for the operator to see the field more
    clearly without color distortion.

  • Now that you know the primary advantages of the
    surgical and dental headlight, it is time to
    learn about the most important factors that you
    need to consider when buying a new headlight.
    These factors are critical as they help you find
    the right headlight for your needs.

5
Weight
  • The headlights weight is something you cant
    ignore most especially if you intend to use your
    illumination device for extended periods of time
    on a daily basis. If possible, pick the lightest
    and most portable headlight available on the
    market today.
  • Please note that the longer you wear the
    headlight, the more it gets heavier. When the
    weight starts to build up over time, you will
    also start feeling uneasy and uncomfortable,
    which can greatly affect your concentration and
    work quality.

  • Light Intensity Level
  • Although it entirely depends on your personal
    preference, experts advice professionals to
    choose the headlight with a light intensity level
    that is over 40,000 lux. For dental and surgical
    applications, opt for the illumination device
    that has a light intensity level of either 45,000
    Lux or 90,000 Lux. Be careful in buying cheap
    headlights as many of them have lower light
    intensity level or lux.

Uniformity of Light
  • One of the major concerns when it comes to cheap
    headlight is the uniformity of light. The light
    produced by most of the cheap headlights are
    unstable. The light tends to be brighter at the
    center but is dull on the edges. This can cause
    image and color distortion. For a more reliable
    illumination and more precise viewing field, pick
    the headlight that produces uniform light and
    stable brightness all throughout the lighted
    field.

9
Brightness Control
  • Although it is recommended to pick the surgical
    headlight with the maximum brightness level, it
    is still best to opt for the one with brightness
    control. This is because not all dental and
    surgical procedures require the same level of
    brightness or the same amount of light. So if a
    certain procedure requires only a minimum amount
    of light, you can still use your headlight.

10
Beam Color
  • Another critical factor that you should consider
    is the color of the beam. LED dental headlights
    are available in various colors. For dental and
    surgical procedures, the most appropriate beam
    color is the one that measures 5500 degrees
    Kelvin. This produces a pure white illumination
    that ensembles that of the natural daylight. Pure
    white LED allows you to see the real color of
    everything within the operating field in crisp
    detail without color distortion.
  • To know the real color and the uniformity of the
    illumination produced by the medical headlight,
    turn it on and direct it to a clear wall or white
    plain surface.
