For manicurists, nail lamps are an essential tool. But, do you know what is the difference between a UV lamp and a UV LED lamp? In this article, the nail supply expert Maryton will give you answers. Keep reading!

The main difference between a UV lamp and a UV LED lamp is the technology used to emit UV. A UV nail lamp contains fluorescent tubes that emit UV at a wavelength of 365 nm. A UV LED lamp, on the other hand, contains several small LED bulbs that emit UV at a wavelength of approximately 365-405 nm.

UV LED nail lamps have a number of advantages over traditional UV lamps. For example, they generally have a longer lifespan because they wear out less quickly and do not heat up as much. They are also much more energy efficient and environmentally friendly, as they consume less energy and don’t contain harmful substances.

Another advantage of UV LED lamps is that they can generally cure nail products faster than traditional UV lamps. In fact, the UV rays from an LED lamp are more concentrated and less diffused, so that the product catalyzes more quickly.

It is important to note that not all nail products are suitable for curing in a UV LED lamp, as they are matched to the wavelength of a traditional lamp. In addition, I also advise you to invest in some professional manicure kits to care for nails.
