ABSTRACT:
A releasable light adjustment mechanism is used in combination with a fiberoptic illuminator and a fiberoptic conductor that is communicably attached to the illuminator. The conductor transmits light from the illuminator to a distal second end portion of the conductor from which the light is emitted. The adjustment mechanism includes a housing having an inlet that is communicably and releasably interengaged by the distal end portion of the conductor, an outlet and an interior passageway communicably connecting the inlet and the outlet. A color wheel or an intensity wheel is mounted rotatably in the housing and extends across the passageway. By rotating the wheel, the light transmitted through the passageway is adjusted.
