DENTAL ILLUMINATOR Russian patent published in 2010 - IPC F21S8/00 F21V5/02 

FIELD: physics.

SUBSTANCE: illuminator has a housing in which there is a base in whose socket of which parabolic-shaped reflectors are screwed in. Powerful light-emitting diodes are fitted at the focus of the reflectors. The housing is closed by a transparent cover made from polycarbonate. There are light filters between the base and the cover. The light-emitting diodes are placed on the base symmetrically about the axis of the illuminator. Light-emitting diodes placed nearby have different spatial orientation based on the condition for obtaining a uniformly illuminated elliptical light spot, and the light-emitting diodes lying opposite each other have a reflection symmetric spatial orientation. There is a switch on the housing. The housing of the illuminator is joined to a suspension on which a unit for controlling brightness of the illuminator is mounted.

EFFECT: provision for a light spot which meets ISO 9680 requirements with simplification of the design and miniaturisation.
