What is a professional LED lamp? 

In the field of manicure, a professional LED lamp is indispensable. How to get by without such an efficient and fast tool ? LED lamps are specially designed to dry nails. In addition, their power allows a greater resistance of the nail polish, and thus a longer duration. LED lamps use light-emitting diodes for their lighting. Used in particular for road signs (with signs, lights…), LEDs are becoming more and more common and efficient. Used in very large numbers for screens, they are gradually beginning to replace other types of lamps.

What are the benefits of buying a professional LED lamp ?

• Reduces nail drying time considerably – UV lamps dry nails in 2 minutes while LEDs do so in less than 30 seconds.
• the price of LEDs has been falling in recent years, making them more affordable
• LEDs are very efficient : while UV requires a lot of energy, LEDs consume little energy.
• they are very resistant
• LEDs are also more environmentally friendly

Questions to keep in mind before buying an LED lamp

It is important to ask yourself the right questions before choosing your professional LED lamp: there are so many things to consider when making your choice! Here are the main criteria you should keep in mind:

• the power : higher power will allow for more efficient and faster drying
• the dimensions : if you are used to going to your clients’ homes to get their manicures done, then it’s best to opt for a small model that’s easy to carry and light. But if you are in your living room most of the time, then you can invest in a bigger and more stylish model!
• Whether you want a manicure or pedicure tool, or both : this is important because sometimes some tools made especially for hands don’t allow the feet to fit in. You should therefore choose a machine that suits your needs.
• design : your personal taste will guide you to the ideal product
• the price : do it according to what you can afford, the budget you have set for yourself.
• les different options : the more expensive the device is, the more options it usually has. For example, some products allow you to see the remaining drying time indicated on a screen.
