Thanks to a unique light collection system (patent applied for) each Spot-Lite unit supports multiple wands. (Spot-Lite is available in a 2-outlet and 6-outlet version). The unit may be operated with as many wands fitted as required. When not in use, spare outlets are closed with an aluminum plug.
Spot-Lite Users Guide Operation Positioning Position the unit close to the area where the curing is to take place and in a position where any light discharge is away from the line of sight of the user.

Spot-Lite Users Guide Curing Once the unit is warmed up the timer has been set curing can commence. The end(s) of the wand(s) should be held or fixed close to the working area. For maximum cure speed, the tip of the wand should be within 5mm of the material to be cured. The Spot-Lite can now be activated by either pressing down the GREEN button located on the front panel or by depressing (and then releasing) the foot switch. The shutter will open and the time will commence its cycle.
