Abstract
The importance of surgical lighting is to illuminate the operative site on and within a patient for proper visualisation by operating theatre staff during a surgical procedure. With a good surgical illumination, a higher level of efficacy and safety can be achieved during surgery thus reducing the risk of complications. A rechargeable home LED bulb was converted into an improvised surgical lamp after removing the shade. This was mounted into the lamp holders of an old operating room lamp. This operating room lamp was plugged into an alternating current socket for power supply and recharging of the bulbs. This improvised surgical lamp provided a low temperature light source for more than 4 h. It is not however intended to replace standard operating lamps but is a viable alternative in resource challenged environments.
