General-purpose light sources are high-intensity, AC-powered devices that emit bright, focused light—often called cold light—to illuminate areas during medical examinations and procedures. They are commonly used in surgeries, endoscopies, and dermatological checks where precise lighting enhances visibility of tissues or instruments.
These devices are typically regulated as medical equipment, often requiring compliance with safety and performance standards depending on their intended use. They may be sold as standalone units or paired with accessories like fiberoptic cables, and their classification varies by jurisdiction based on risk factors like power output and application.
