Frequently Asked Questions — Nail Lamps

What is the difference between a UV and an LED nail lamp?

LED nail lamps cure most modern soak-off gels in 30–60 seconds and the bulbs last for years with no replacement. UV nail lamps cure a wider range of older and specialty gels but take about 2 minutes per coat. Many lamps today are UV/LED hybrids that cure both.

What wattage nail lamp do I need?

36–48W lamps suit home use and most gel polish. 54–120W salon lamps cure faster and more evenly and easily handle builder gel, hard gel, and dip top coats. Higher wattage means a faster, more complete cure.
