Guide
Our UV/LED Lamp is used to cure all of our gel products. The lamp combines UV and LED and has 48 watts.
Our UV/LED Lamp comes with a range of special features. It has a smart built-in sensor that automatically turns the lamp on when you place your hands or feet inside.
Another smart feature is the magnetic top. It can be liftede from the bottom and repositioned without the base, or flipped to create more space inside the lamp. This is especially useful if you are applying Press On Tips and need to hold the tip in place while curing or want to place the lamper over each of your feet.
The lamp has a display that shows the elapsed time in seconds. If you press one of the lamp’s buttons, the timer will count down, but if you activate the sensor instead, the timer will count up.
The lamp has 4 buttons, all of which turn it on in different ways.
The first button, located furthest to the right and marked 10s, is a 10-second button that can be used for flash curing. Flash curing means that you apply a layer and cure it for 10 seconds so the product won’t move on the nail before you’ve applied product on all fingers and can cure them for the full 60 seconds required.
The next button, marked 30s, is a 30-second button. It turns the lamp on for 30 seconds. This button is designed as an addition for curing products in 90 seconds. If you first cure for 60 seconds and then follow with 30 seconds.
The third button, marked 60s, is a 60-second button. It turns the lamp on for 60 seconds. This will be the most commonly used button since all our products need to cure for at least 60 seconds.
The last button is the 99s low heat function. This means the lamp lights for 99 seconds with gradually increasing intensity. This function is particularly useful if you experience a burning sensation on the nails during curing.
To make curing more comfortable, you can choose the lamp’s smart "Low Heat" setting. This function starts at a low intensity – about one third of the lamp’s full strength – and gradually increases the light to maximum power over the 99 seconds. It helps minimize heat buildup and provides a more comfortable and gentle experience without compromising the result.
It is important, however, to let the lamp run for the full 99 seconds to ensure proper curing of the products. Do not stop the process after 60 seconds.
