The Dover Lightweight LED Exam and Medical Headlight System combines bright, uniform lighting with a portable format that performs reliably under rigorous daily use. Its optical system produces a crisp, consistent spot with an output reaching up to 105,000 lux at a 10-inch working distance, giving clinicians exceptional visual clarity during examinations and surgical procedures. At greater distances, the headlight maintains strong visibility with illumination levels of approximately 30,000 lux at 16 inches. The 3-inch fixed spot diameter at this working distance ensures stable, predictable beam geometry across applications. A cool 7,000 K color temperature enhances contrast and detail recognition, supporting improved visualization of tissue structures in a wide range of clinical environments.
Lighting control is simple and intuitive, with five intensity levels that allow clinicians to tailor brightness to procedural needs, patient comfort, and room conditions. The fixed-spot optical design eliminates the need for ongoing adjustments, maintaining focus without drift throughout use. The LED module is engineered for longevity, with an expected life span exceeding 10,000 hours, minimizing downtime and eliminating costs associated with bulb replacements. Weighing only 0.45 ounces, the optic assembly reduces strain during extended wear, while the 3-cell battery, weighing just 6.5 ounces, balances portability with robust power delivery.
The battery system is built for sustained, uninterrupted operation, offering up to 10 hours of use at full intensity on a single charge. With an expected life of more than 300 charge cycles, the battery supports long-term reliability and helps reduce total ownership cost. The complete system includes user-selected head support options such as the Fiji or Key West headbands or an optic clip, along with a charging cradle, power supply, holster, and linkage kit. These accessories expand usability in both clinical and procedural settings.
Versatility is a defining strength of the Dover headlight, making it suitable for a broad range of medical and dental applications. It supports the precision required in general surgery, neurosurgery, cardiothoracic procedures, orthopedic and spine surgery, transplant operations, and vascular interventions. Its portability and optical clarity also make it valuable in pediatric surgery, plastic surgery, oral and maxillofacial procedures, dental examinations, and routine clinical assessments. Across these areas, the combination of crisp optical performance, adjustable intensity control, durable construction, and long battery life ensures dependable illumination for procedures of varying complexity and duration.
