Abstract
Abstract The first purpose of the invention is to provide cordless light irradiation in which a stable amount of light is emitted when irradiating, and moreover, the device can be made compact. The second purpose is to offer a cordless light irradiation device that can control the battery temperature during use to a lower temperature than in the past. Halogen lamp 1 equipped with a reflective mirror and batteries 4 are housed in handpiece 2. The device is equipped with battery case 3 that is provided with ventilation holes 5, cooling fan 6 and optical filter 7, and lamp guide 8 is provided on the terminal of handpiece 2.
