For ceiling-mounted lights, one or more transformers are placed either above the finished ceiling or in a wall-mounted remote control box to convert incoming line voltage to the lower voltage necessary for most lights.

Some gas-discharge xenon-halogen lamps emit light by passing an electrical current through a gas. LED surgical lights consist of pods or modules, which are small semiconductors that emit a narrow spectrum of light when the electrical circuit is activated. What are surgical lights and why does a surgical setting need them? Surgical lights provide illumination in surgical suites and are designed to illuminate the surgical site for optimum visualization of small, low-contrast objec...
