Abstract
A light for medical purposes has a lamp housing (11), at least one lamp (12) arranged therein, a reflector (16) arranged therein, and a light transmissive plate arrangement (13) closing off the lamp housing (11) towards the illumination field (14). The lamp housing (11) with the light transmissive plate (13) is closed off towards the exterior for reasons of hygiene and is formed from a material with a lower thermal conductivity than that of human skin, at least at those sites at which a contact by the operating person can arise.
