Claim Text:
1. A method of curing a liner of a pipeline, the liner including a resin that is curable by exposure to electromagnetic radiation of a specific wavelength or in a specific wavelength range, the method comprising: (a) providing an apparatus comprising: wherein the plurality of LED's are connected in thermally-conductive relationship to the heat dissipating elements, whereby heat is dissipated from the heat dissipating elements so as to cool the LED's when a stream of air passes through the passage; (b) positioning the apparatus within the liner and moving the apparatus through the liner while (i) irradiating electromagnetic radiation of the specific wavelength or in the specific wavelength range from the LED's onto the liner for curing the resin and (ii) passing a stream of air through the passage to dissipate heat from the heat dissipating elements; and (c) adjusting the velocity of movement of the apparatus through the liner so as to cause a complete curing of the resin.
