Endoscopic light source
An endoscopic light source supplies bright light through a fibre optic cable to a rigid or flexible endoscope. It is part of every endoscopy tower in surgery, gastroenterology, ENT, urology and gynaecology.
Common types
- LED light source: long lamp life and low heat.
- Xenon light source: very bright white light, with lamps replaced periodically.
- Halogen light source: lower cost, used for basic diagnostic work.
- Fluorescence light source: adds excitation light for ICG imaging.

Documents to ask for
Buyers ask for CE marking under the EU MDR or US FDA clearance, ISO 13485 for the maker and IEC 60601-1 with IEC 60601-2-18 test reports.
Certificates and registrations belong to the product and its manufacturer. We check them with you against the rules of your market before any order.
Will a new light source fit our existing scopes?
Light cables connect through adapters, and most makers offer adapters for common scope brands. List your scope models so the right adapters are included.
