What Determines the Compatibility Between an LED Lamp and a Gel Product

1. Wavelength of Light Emitted

A critical factor in determining compatibility is the wavelength(s) of UV light that the lamp emits. Gels are formulated with photoinitiators that react to specific wavelengths of light. Most professional gel products cure under:

LED light: typically, 365nm and/or 405 nm.
UV light: broader spectrum, usually 320 to 400 nm.

The ProNails Smart Light LED Lamp is specifically designed to emit optimized LED both wavelengths of 365 and 405 nm, making it ideal for curing modern LED-curable gels.

2. Product Formulation

Each nail brand formulates its products under certain conditions. For this photoinitiators are added to the formula which will trigger polymerization at the exact same wavelength that is emitted by the lamp. If the photoinitiators of the formula and the lamp don’t match, then there will be no curing.

Check manufacturer recommendations for the curing specifications.
ProNails gels are tested for optimal curing with the Smart Light LED Lamp, ensuring both safety and performance.

3. Curing Time and Intensity

Compatibility also depend on the curing time and the power output of the lamp:

The Smart Light LED Lamp has a high-intensity output designed to cure gels quickly and evenly. There’s an option between 30 sec FULL/SOFT or 60 sec FULL/SOFT.
If a lamp's intensity is too low or too high, it may result in under-cured or over-cured products, leading to issues like peeling, lifting, heat spikes, or loss of gloss.

4. Reflective Design & Consistency

The inner design of the lamp, including the number and quality of the LED bulbs, the positioning and angel of the LED bulbs, the design of the hand positioning and the reflective surfaces all contribute to ensuring a proper curing:

The Smart Light LED Lamp features 360-degree light coverage to ensure that every part of the nail receives uniform exposure. It also has additional Thumb Optimizer LED bulbs positioned on either side of the lamp to ensure proper 5-finger curing including thumbs.
