Objective The medical headlights are of the features such as portability, directional lighting, and high brightness. However, the prices of the products are relatively high and the power supplies are cumbersome at present. Methods We proposed a lighting solution to the medical headlight using LM3410 constant current driver and the high brightness light-emitting diode (HB LED) to meet clinical demands. The LED brightness could be adjusted using a pulse width modulation (PWM) signal. Results The relationship between PWM duty cycle and LED average current were experimentally presented and the problems of the design for LM3410 as LED driver were discussed. Conclusions The medical headlight driving circuit based on LM3410 chip had the strongpoints as small volume, low input voltage and adjustability of light, which had certain theoretical significance and utility value.
