The present invention relates to a disposable medical-examination light. Specifically, the invention relates to a disposable light for use with a speculum. Generally, the disposable light includes a casing with an interior and an exterior. The casing interior may be adapted to hold at least one battery. The casing exterior may include a proximal surface and a distal surface. A protrusion may extend from the proximal surface, and at least one light-emitting diode (“LED”), such as a white and/or green light producing LED, may be substantially disposed at a proximal end of the protrusion. Additionally, a gripping mechanism may extend from the casing's proximal surface. The disposable light may also comprise electrical components for connecting at least one battery to at least one LED. Furthermore, the disposable light may also include a switching mechanism that may be configured to close an electrical circuit between an LED and a battery.
