Demetron L.E.D. and Halogen Radiometers FAQs

Radiometers

Why Use a Radiometer?

Many factors can adversely affect the intensity and curing ability of LED and/or halogen curing lights. Knowing the exact output of your light can assure you are curing materials thoroughly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the output of your LED curing light degrade as the battery is drained?
Battery degradation must be monitored to ensure quality depth of cure. If you want a 10-second cure, you'll need to monitor frequently.
Do you know when you last changed your Halogen bulb?
The number of hours a bulb has been in use should be recorded to assure the output doesn't decline.
Does your unit have a fan?
If not, diodes will heat up over time and degrade output, causing loss of intensity.
Is your light guide autoclavable?
This feature is beneficial for hygiene, but residue and etched-in mineral deposits from repeated autoclavings can cause degradation.*
Is there composite on your light guide?
If so, you may not be getting the intensity of light needed for a complete cure.
Has your L.E.D. been dropped lately?
Accidental rough handling can seriously damage light intensity.
