A UV curing lamp is provided which includes a curved, reflective surface which redirects incident light toward a band-pass filter while bypassing the lamp. A heat sink is provided for the band-pass filter, the heat sink containing a woolen material such as aluminum wool. A portion of the light is reflected by the curved reflective surface and is transmitted through the band-pass filter and into the heat sink, the remainder of the light being reflected by the band-pass filter. The heat sink absorbs the light transmitted through the band-pass filter and dissipates the heat associated therewith.
A curing lamp comprising:
26 The curing lamp according to claim 1, wherein the reflective surface is coated.
27 The curing lamp according to claim 26, wherein the reflective surface is polished.
28 The curing lamp according to claim 4, wherein each of the two parts of the reflective surface is curved.
The curing lamp according to claim 28, wherein at least one of the curved, reflective surfaces is spherical.
The curing lamp according to claim 28, wherein at least one of the curved, reflective surfaces is aspherical.
The curing lamp according to claim 28, wherein at least one of the curved, reflective surfaces is formed of a series of flats.
The curing lamp according to claim 28, wherein at least one of the curved, reflective surfaces is cylindrical.
