Herein is described a hardening initiation lamp (1) for illumination of a light-hardenable bandage (2), where said lamp (1) is shaped so that it can at least partially enclose said bandage (2). The lamp (1) comprises an inner side (3), which is substantially arranged to face inwards towards said bandage (2) when the latter is illuminated, and an outer side (4), which is substantially arranged to face away from said bandage (2) when the latter is illuminated. The lamp (1) furthermore comprises at least one hardening light source (5) comprising means to initiate a hardening process in said bandage (2), and at least one illumination light source (6), which can emit light in the visible spectrum, arranged to illuminate said bandage (2) at least while said hardening process is initiated in said bandage (2), both said hardening light source (5) and said illumination light source (6) being arranged to emit light from said inner side (3), substantially in the direction of said bandage (2). The lamp (1) also comprises one or more observation areas (7), wherein a light filter (8) is arranged, which allows light from said illumination light source (6) to pass through said lamp (1) from said inner side (3) and out through said outer side (4). Furthermore, the use of a hardening initiation lamp (1) is described.La présente invention se rapporte à une lampe de début de durcissement (1) permettant l'éclairage d'un bandage (2) pouvant durcir à la lumière, ladite lampe (1) étant formée de telle sorte qu'elle puisse au moins partiellement entourer ledit bandage (2). La lampe (1) comprend un côté interne (3) qui est sensiblement agencé pour être orienté vers l'intérieur vers ledit bandage (2) lorsque ce dernier est éclairé, et un côté externe (4) qui est sensiblement agencé pour être orienté à l'opposé du bandage (2) lorsque ce dernier est éclairé. La lampe (1) comprend en outre au moins une source de lumière de durcissement (5) qui comprend des moyens pour commencer un processus de d
