1. A cooling system for a light curing device, wherein the light curing device includes a hand-held portion that is configured to generate and emit light and a power plug that is configured to electrically couple with a remote power supply, and wherein the cooling system is configured to lower the temperature of the hand-held portion of the light curing device, the cooling system comprising:

  • a forced air unit configured to generate a supply of pressurized air, the forced air unit being disposed within the power plug of the light curing device; and

    tubing pneumatically interconnecting the forced air unit with the hand-held portion of the light curing device, such that operation of the forced air unit causes air to circulate through the tubing to the hand-held portion of the light curing device, wherein air circulating to the hand-held portion of the light curing device through the tubing helps to lower an ambient temperature of the hand-held portion of the light curing device.
