In the nail art process, a common tool is the nail light therapy lamp, which is specially used for drying and curing the phototherapy glue or nail polish glue in the nail art process. According to different luminous operation principles, it is divided into LED lamps and UV lamps.
In the nail art process, a layer of nail phototherapy glue is generally applied on the nail, which can extend the adhesion of the nail and is not easy to fall off due to various external forces such as slight friction on the nail. Because of the particularity of this material, it must be illuminated to solidify.
In the past, the commonly used nail irradiation drying tools are based on uv lamps, which are common in the market and the price is low. Later, there was a new light therapy lamp – led lamp, the price is relatively expensive.
What is the difference between Led lights and uv lights, and why the price of led lights will be more expensive. Next, let’s talk about the difference between these two lamps.
Environmental protection and money saving
The price gap between uv lamps and led lamps on the market is relatively large, and the price of led lamps is many times higher than that of uv lamps. However, according to this, can it be determined that uv lamps are more money saving? In fact, in many ways and from a long-term perspective, led lights may be more advantageous.
The lamp tube of Uv lamp is easy to age, and it needs to be replaced regularly for about half a year, and the repair cost is high. And irradiation time is long, even open a day needs to spend tens of watts of electricity. It costs a lot of electricity.
Led lamp life is longer, lamp beads are covered by epoxy polyester, if not man-made destruction, will not be easily damaged. Almost no need to change the lamp bead. The repair cost is low.
Even open a day only costs ten watts, the cost of electricity is less, more economical.
In addition, the led material is recyclable, more environmentally friendly. In contrast, in the long run, led lights win.
Efficiency – adhesive curing speed
The uv peak wavelength of the Led lamp is mainly above 380mm, and the wavelength of the ordinary UV lamp is 365mm.
In contrast, the wavelength of the led lamp is longer, and the drying time of the led lamp for a nail polish is generally about half a minute to 2 minutes, while the ordinary uv lamp takes 3 minutes to dry, and the irradiation time is longer.
secure
Uv lamps use ultraviolet lamps, which are hot cathode fluorescent lamps. The wavelength of Uv lamp is 365mm, which belongs to uva, UVA. Uva is called aging radiation.
A small amount of uva can cause a lot of damage to the skin, and long-term exposure can also affect the eyes, and this damage is cumulative and irreversible.
Uv irradiation time is relatively long, the skin will appear melanin, easy to become black and dry. Therefore, you must pay attention to the length of time when irradiating uv lamps.
Led lights are visible light, the wavelength is 400mm-500mm, and ordinary lighting light is not much different, and has no effect on human skin and eyes.
From a safety point of view, led lights are better than uv lights for skin and eye protection!
Although the purchase cost of Uv lamps is relatively low, there are many hidden dangers, whether it is a nail technician or a nail lover, it is not recommended to use for a long time. For fixed-line gel nail, it is recommended to choose led lights or led+uv lights as far as possible.
Now, on the market, there are also uv lights and led lights combined with nail lamps, suitable for the use of various needs of the crowd to buy.
