The VIP junior (Variable Intensity Polymerizer) halogen curing light provides built-in variable intensity settings allowing the clinical benefits of Stress Reduction Cure techniques to help eliminate stress-induced enamel cracks. The VIP junior is programmed with preset exposures of 10, 20, 30 and 40 seconds at a high intensity (600mW/cm2) and a 3 second exposure at the reduced intensity of 300mW/cm2. Additionally, there is a built-in orthodontic program that automatically provides 32 repetitions of five second periods or three second periods of exposure time separated by a one second repositioning period for securing brackets.
