UV and LED nail lamp buying guide

Nail lamps are an essential product in any professional salon, necessary for both traditional polish and gel setting. They are classified as either LED or UV, which is dependent on the type of bulb and light they emit. Traditionally, UV lamps have been used to cure nail polish, but with the rise of gel polish, LED lamps have become more popular.

Choosing between a LED or UV lamp is down to personal preference, however it can still be difficult to decide between the two. Here are the six factors you should consider to help you decide which is best suited to you and your salon.

Picking a nail lamp is dependent on the gel polishes you use. An LED lamp will only work for gel polishes that are specifically set under LED light, whereas UV lamps work for all types of gel polish. So, if you have a range of different gel polish brands, a UV lamp will cure them all whereas a LED lamp will only cure specific LED gel polish brands. Therefore, a UV lamp gives you more flexibility.
