Patent ID: 6932600

Claim:
A curing light comprising: a wand adapted to be grasped by a human hand for use in positioning and manipulating the curing light, 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 LED chip module, an LED chip module mounted on said mounting platform, said LED chip module including a primary heat sink, said primary heat sink having a smaller mass than said elongate heat sink, a well on said primary heat sink for mounting an LED chip, an LED chip mounted in said well, a cover that provides protective covering for said LED chip and which permits light emitted by said LED chip to pass through it to provide usable light exiting from said light module, and a thermoelectric cooler located on said elongate heat sink, said thermoelectric cooler serving to assist in heat dissipation; wherein light emitted by said LED chip module is emitted at an angle of from about 30 degrees to about 150 degrees to said elongate heat sink longitudinal axis.
