Popis: A system comprising a fluid cooled array of light emitting diodes (LEDs) for producing red (660 NM) light for photodynamic therapy is disclosed. The light is produced by a plurality of overdriven, water cooled LEDs arrayed on a preferably disposable puck. The LED puck (13) is releasably connected to an interchangeable LED hand piece (12). The system can be configured for illumination of flat surfaces such as for treatment of the chest or back, or for cylindrical surfaces such as found in the cervix or colon, by proper selection of the LED hand piece (12) and puck design (13).
