The smart folks at Premier have a pretty nice curing light. I'm especially impressed with the 3000 mW/cm² intensity. Pairing that with a lens that helps to collimate the beam is also a good idea. Focusing the beam means that photons reach to the bottom of the proximal box. Even if you are using incremental layering, in a deep proximal box the light can be up to 10mm away from the target. That means that a light that isn't focusing the beam may have a hard time setting composite at that depth. Premier's focused beam *will* do that. Below is what the company has to say about this unit...
Designed for today’s clinicians, the Lumira™ LED curing light delivers consistent performance and durability. Lumira’s lightweight, all-metal construction withstands the rigors of daily dental use while reducing hand fatigue.
- Wavelength range 440–490 nm to effectively polymerize CQ products
- Up to 3000 mW/cm² irradiance for rapid curing
- Collimated, uniform beam for reliable depth of cure
- Seven clinical modes (Normal, High, Turbo, Ortho, Soft, Pulse, Check)
- Ergonomic, all-metal, low-profile head with 360° rotation allows easy access throughout the oral cavity
The company is currently having a sale on the Lumira. You can find the details here.
