Surgical lamp for illuminating an operating site located at a chosen distance along an optical axis comprising: a lamp body, having the optical axis, comprising at least one first light source and one third light source, wherein the first light source is immovably accommodated in the lamp body and the third light source is accommodated in a tiltable manner in the lamp body, the first light source generates a first light field and the third light source generates a third light field (17, 17') respectively having substantially identical diameters and substantially identical light distributions on the operating site, and the light fields (14, 17, 17') yield, along the optical axis, a resultant light field that has a substantially circular shape and is associated with a light distribution that conforms to a surgical lamp standard (at the moment: DIN EN 60601-2-41:2010) and that has a preset relative illuminance (E cx) conforming to that standard at a predetermined diameter (d x); a control device for the light sources (5, 7) configured to individually control the light intensity of the first light source and of the third light source and to control a tilting angle of the third light source such that the preset relative illuminance (E cx) is provided at the predetermined diameter (d x) at the chosen distance; actuating units, by means of which, the light sources (5, 7) are respectively connected to the control device, a driving device connected to the control device for tilting the third light source, a device for detecting a distance between the lamp body and the operating site along the optical axis, and a means for triggering the change of the individual control of the light intensities of the light sources (5,7) or the change of the tilting angle of the third light source, characterized in that, when the previously chosen distance between the lamp body and the operating site is subsequently changed, the control device is configured, triggered by the means, to individually control the light intensities of the individual light sources (5, 7) and the tilting angle of the third light source such that the predetermined diameter (d x) where the preset relative illuminance (E cx) of the resultant light field exists on the operating site is maintained at a substantially constant value. a lamp body, having the optical axis, comprising at least one first light source and one third light source, wherein the first light source is immovably accommodated in the lamp body and the third light source is accommodated in a tiltable manner in the lamp body, the first light source generates a first light field and the third light source generates a third light field (17, 17') respectively having substantially identical diameters and substantially identical light distributions on the operating site, and the light fields (14, 17, 17') yield, along the optical axis, a resultant light field that has a substantially circular shape and is associated with a light distribution that conforms to a surgical lamp standard (at the moment: DIN EN 60601-2-41:2010) and that has a preset relative illuminance (E cx) conforming to that standard at a predetermined diameter (d x); a control device for the light sources (5, 7) configured to individually control the light intensity of the first light source and of the third light source and to control a tilting angle of the third light source such that the preset relative illuminance (E cx) is provided at the predetermined diameter (d x) at the chosen distance; actuating units, by means of which, the light sources (5, 7) are respectively connected to the control device, a driving device connected to the control device for tilting the third light source, a device for detecting a distance between the lamp body and the operating site along the optical axis, and a means for triggering the change of the individual control of the light intensities of the light sources (5,7) or the change of the tilting angle of the third light source, characterized in that, when the previously chosen distance between the lamp body and the operating site is subsequently changed, the control device is configured, triggered by the means, to individually control the light intensities of the individual light sources (5, 7) and the tilting angle of the third light source such that the predetermined diameter (d x) where the preset relative illuminance (E cx) of the resultant light field exists on the operating site is maintained at a substantially constant value.
