Abstract:
1. A dental curing light comprising: a wand adapted to be grasped by a human hand, a battery power source located within said wand, electronic control circuitry located within said wand, a light module attached to said wand, said light module including an elongate heat sink with a proximal end and a distal end, said proximal end being proximate said wand, said elongate heat sink having a longitudinal axis, a mounting platform located at said elongate heat sink distal end, said mounting platform being adapted to have a light emitting semiconductor device mounted thereon, and a light emitting semiconductor device mounted on said mounting platform wherein said mounting platform is oriented so that when a light emitting semiconductor device is mounted on it, light directly emitted by the light emitting semiconductor device will be emitted forward from the light emitting semiconductor device at an angle of from about 30 degrees to about 150 degrees to said elongate heat sink longitudinal axis.
