Abstract
Phototherapy systems comprising a therapeutic lamp platform for radiant lamps such as LEDs disposed in a holdable spot applicator assembly, the holdable spot applicator assembly including a reflective surface facing towards a patient and a plurality of LEDs for communicating lamp radiation from the lamps to a user. The lamps and associated circuitry are housed within a holdable elongated structure.

A phototherapy device comprising:
- a tubular body including a longitudinal length extending between a first end of the tubular body and a second end of the tubular body, the tubular body housing a plurality of radiant lamps having a mixed combination of different wavelength radiant energy proximately located near the first end of the tubular body;
- a first end surface located at the first end of the tubular body, the first end surface including a concave surface and a radiant energy communication area recessed from a protruding peripheral surface of the first end surface, the concave surface and radiant energy communication area configured to direct the radiant energy from the plurality of radiant lamps to a user treatment area, wherein the first end surface traps the radiant energy from the plurality of radiant lamps within a confine limited by the concave surface, the recessed radiant energy communication area, the protruding peripheral surface of the first end surface and the user treatment area with the first end surface in contact with an area about the user treatment area;
- and
- a second end surface located at the second end of the tubular body;
- wherein the protruding peripheral surface is configured to direct the radiant energy from the plurality of radiant lamps at a non-normal incident angle relative to the user treatment area with the protruding peripheral surface in contact with the area about the user treatment area.

A phototherapy device comprising:
- a tubular body including a longitudinal length extending between a first end of the tubular body and a second end of the tubular body, the tubular body housing one or more radiant lamps proximately located near the first end of the tubular body, the one or more radiant lamps disposed to communicate radiant energy to a user treatment area;
- a first end surface located at the first end of the tubular body, the first end surface including a concave surface and a radiant energy communication area recessed from a protruding peripheral surface of the first end surface, the concave surface and radiant energy communication area configured to direct the radiant energy from the one or more radiant lamps to the user treatment area, wherein the first end surface traps the radiant energy from the one or more radiant lamps within a confine limited by the concave surface, the recessed radiant energy communication area, the protruding peripheral surface of the first end surface and the user treatment area with the first end surface in contact with an area about the user treatment area;
- and
- a second end surface located at the second end of the tubular body;
- wherein the protruding peripheral is configured to direct the radiant energy from the one or more radiant lamps at a non-normal incident angle relative to the user treatment area with the protruding peripheral surface in contact with the area about the user treatment area.
