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.

手术灯的即兴创作：绕过障碍的另一种方法。

手术照明的重要性在于照亮患者身上和体内的手术部位，以便手术室工作人员在手术过程中进行正确的可视化。借助良好的手术照明，可以在手术过程中实现更高水平的疗效和安全性，从而降低并发症的风险。去除灯罩后，可充电家用 LED 灯泡被改装成简易手术灯。它被安装到旧手术室灯的灯座中。该手术室灯插入交流电源插座，为灯泡供电和充电。这种简易手术灯提供了超过 4 小时的低温光源。然而，它并不是要取代标准工作灯，而是在资源紧张的环境中是一种可行的替代方案。
