Guide
Our UV/LED lamp is used to cure all of our products. It is a combined UV and LED lamp with a 48W output.
Our UV/LED lamp has a range of smart features, including a built-in sensor that automatically turns the lamp on when you place your hands or feet inside.
Another smart feature is the magnetic top, which can be removed from the base, repositioned, or turned around to create more space inside the lamp. This is especially useful if, for example, you are applying Press On Tipper and need to hold the tip in place while curing.
The lamp has a display that shows the time in seconds. If you press one of the lamp’s buttons, the timer will count down. If you activate the sensor instead, the timer will count up.
The lamp has 4 buttons, each activating a different setting.
The first button, located furthest to the right and marked 10s, is a 10-second button that can be used to flash-cure the products. Flash-curing means that you apply a layer and cure it for 10 seconds, so the product stays in place on the nail until you have applied it to all fingers and can cure 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 intended for use when a product needs to cure for 90 seconds — simply cure for 60 seconds first, followed by an additional 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 frequently used button for most people, as many of our products need to cure for 60 seconds.
The lamp’s final button is the 99s Low Heat function. This means the lamp stays on for 99 seconds with gradually increasing intensity. This function is especially useful if you experience a burning sensation on your nails during curing.
To make curing more comfortable, you can choose the lamp’s smart "Low Heat" setting. The function starts at a low intensity – approximately one third of the lamp’s full power – and gradually increases the light to maximum power over the course of the 99 seconds. This helps minimize heat build-up and provides a more comfortable and gentle experience without compromising the result.
However, it is important that you let the lamp run for the full 99 seconds to ensure the products cure correctly. Do not stop the process after 60 seconds.
