Abstract
A photocuring device and a method of photocuring using it. The device includes a housing and a light emitting semiconductor array mounted to the housing, capable of emitting light energy having a light output wavelength suitable for initiating a photoreaction. The device also has a power source for providing power to energize the array to emit light energy and a controller coupled to the power source for varying the power provided by the power source to the array.
