Find a UV/LED nail lamp for compatible gel polish, builder gel and other light-curing nail products. Prohaar offers models from Ocho Nails and Glow for salons, nail studios and mobile workstations. Start with your nail product manufacturer’s requirements, then compare timers, sensors, bases and power options.
Choose the lamp for your gel system
A UV/LED label does not establish compatibility with every gel. Follow the required lamp type, curing time and layer thickness specified by the manufacturer of your gel or gel polish. Timer settings are controls on the lamp, not universal curing times.
Wattage alone does not determine better or faster curing. Also consider the stated wavelengths, the arrangement of the light sources and correct hand positioning. Conventional nail polish that dries in air is not used in the same way as a light-curing gel product.
Compare Ocho Nails models
The white Ocho Nails 8 84 W is one option to explore. Check its controls and features against your workstation and product requirements.
The Ocho Nails X13 Plus 65 W with red-light function features a mirrored base and Low Heat Mode. Its additional red-light setting does not replace the curing cycle required by your nail products.
For operation without a connected power cable, explore the cordless Ocho Nails X22 72 W. Check charging requirements and operating time. Cordless operation offers flexibility in positioning rather than a guarantee of better curing.
Features that matter at the workstation
- Timer and display: select and monitor a cycle that matches the nail product instructions.
- Motion sensor: automatic activation according to the model’s operating instructions.
- Low Heat Mode: gradual power increase on equipped models; check suitability for your gel.
- Removable base: convenient access for cleaning and foot positioning on models intended for pedicure.
- Size and power: compare available workspace, internal clearance and mains or cordless operation.
Plan your manicure and pedicure setup
For pedicure, check that the lamp is intended for that application and allows correct foot positioning. A removable base may help. To prepare or remove an earlier application, browse electric nail drills. For dust collection while filing, explore nail dust collectors. Filing, dust collection and curing require equipment selected for each task.
Which lamp do I need for gel polish?
Choose the lamp type specified by the gel polish manufacturer and follow the recommended curing time.
Is a higher-wattage lamp always better?
No. Wattage alone does not determine compatibility with your nail products or the result.
What is the advantage of a cordless lamp?
A model designed for cordless use can operate without a connected power cable. Check its charging method and operating time.
Can one lamp be used for manicure and pedicure?
Yes, when the model is intended for both. Consider internal space, positioning and whether the base is removable.
Which curing time should I select?
Follow your gel or gel polish manufacturer’s instructions. Do not automatically choose the shortest cycle or extend exposure without a reason specified in the instructions.
