1. An apparatus for use in light therapy comprising:
- at least one light emitting diode array adapted to emit a wavelength of light; and
a targeting mechanism coupled to the at least one light emitting diode array so as to allow light emitted from the at least one light emitting diode array to be repeatably positioned on a target area during non-contact light therapy.

10. An apparatus for use in light therapy comprising:
-
at least one light emitting diode array adapted to emit a wavelength of light;
a targeting mechanism that includes at least one targeting light source coupled to the at least one light emitting diode array so as to allow light emitted from the at least one light emitting diode array to be repeatably positioned on a target area, wherein the targeting light source is adapted to turn off prior to image recording; and
an imaging mechanism adapted to image the target area.
