Identify the differences between ultraviolet (UV) lights and light-emitting diode (LED) lights.

Identification should include

  • differences in wattage, voltage, and bulb life
  • safety concerns regarding UV exposure, such as under-curing or over-curing
  • the signs of under-curing or over-curing
  • knowledge of exothermic reactions
  • lifespan of UV and LED lights.

Process/Skill Questions:

  • What are some potential exothermic reactions?
  • What can cause an exothermic reaction?
  • What are some potential benefits of LED lights over UV lights?
