Objectives. New blue, so called second generation light emitting diodes (LEDs) are now available with a high optical power output. These LEDs will potentially find widespread application in commercially available light curing units (LCUs). This study, therefore, investigated the curing performance of a prototype LCU containing one high power LED and a conventional halogen LCU (Polofil).
