Abstract
An improved surgical headlight that includes a headband for supporting the light on the head of the wearer. The headband carries an appropriate support for frictionally engaging a ball joint member which is carried by and above a light projecting element so that the wearer can manually manipulate the light projecting element to cause the ball joint member to be rotated in the support and frictionally held in a selected position until such time as the light projecting element is manipulated into a different position. These improved surgical headlight systems preferably include means for adjusting the vertical relationship between the ball joint member and the light projecting element so that the wearer may raise or lower the light projecting means to assist in the alignment of the axis of the light projector with the visual axes of the wearer's eyes.
