The configuration according to the present invention can be seen in more detail through an exploded perspective view, Figure 4 of the accompanying drawings shows a bottom side exploded perspective view of the pet care lamp according to the present invention, through which the present invention will be described in detail.

The LED module 50 is provided with a plurality of LEDs, the near-infrared LED (L1) to emit near infrared rays and the red LED (L2) to irradiate visible light is arranged. The LED module 50 is made of a metal PCB (METAL Printed Circuit Board) to effectively transfer the heat generated from the LED when the LED is lit in contact with the heat sink 40 to be described below and by this contact LED module 50 Heat generated by the heat transfer plate 40 may be configured to radiate heat.

Near-infrared LED (L1) is an infrared ray closest to the radiant heat of the sun generated when the temperature of the heating element is 1800 ° C to 2200 ° C, and has a wavelength of 800 to 1400 nanometers, and is transmitted as a thermal wavelength without heating air. Penetrates the subcutaneous layer of the skin to facilitate blood circulation and increase the temperature of the skin to enlarge blood vessels and promote metabolism to regenerate skin cells. Thus, in the present invention, by irradiating near infrared rays having a wavelength of 940 ~ 950 nanometers (nm) is configured to cure skin diseases and the like of companion animals.
