Abstract:
1. A light-emitting wand comprising: an elongated wand body extending along a wand axis between longitudinally opposed wand-body proximal and distal ends, the distal end being configured to support a light-emitting element; an electrically-conductive first core member extending between the proximal and distal ends and having, at the distal end, a first light-source contact configured for electrical connection to a first pole of the light-emitting element and, at the proximal end, a first power-source contact configured for electrical connection to a first terminal of an electrical-power source; an electrically-conductive second core member extending between the proximal and distal ends and having, at the distal end, a second light-source contact configured for electrical connection to a second pole of the light-emitting element and, at the proximal end, a second power-source contact configured for electrical connection to a second terminal of the electrical-power source; wherein (i) the wand body comprises an electrically-insulative partition situated between, and configured to mutually electrically isolate, the first and second core members; and (ii) each of the first and second core members is a heat sink configured for drawing heat away from the light-emitting element.
