1. A curing light comprising:a wand adapted to be grasped by a human hand for use in positioning and manipulating the curing light, a longitudinal axis of said wand, a wand housing that is at least a portion of the exterior surface of said wand, said wand housing having a top, a bottom, a left side
1. A curing light comprising:a wand adapted to be grasped by a human hand for use in positioning and manipulating the curing light, a longitudinal axis of said wand, a wand housing that is at least a portion of the exterior surface of said wand, said wand housing having a top, a bottom, a left side and a right side, a light emission control actuator which when actuated causes light to be emitted from the curing light, said light emission control actuator being located on said wand housing top, 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, said elongate heat sink being located at least partially within said housing a mounting platform located at said elongate heat sink distal end, said mounting platform being adapted to have a LED chip module, said mounting platform being located in a position that is on the same side of the curing light as said bottom of said wand housing, 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, said LED module being oriented so that light emitted by it is emitted generally from said wand housing bottom; and wherein light emitted by said LED chic module is emitted at an angle of from about 30 degrees to about 150 degrees to said wand longitudinal axis. 2.
