SUNUV Led Nail Lamp, 48W Professional Nail Dryer for Gel Polish Curing Light Machine, with Automatic Sensor and LCD Display for Home and Nail Salon

So I’ve been a professional nail technician for 10 years and when working on clients, I would always use the branded lamp of the brand that I used. This normally means that the price is greatly inflated because of branding.Having recently given up my nail business, I wanted to find a cheap lamp that I could use, just to do my own nails. Luckily the nanometer of this lamp matched what was required by the gel polish brand I use so I decided to give it a go.The lamp is pretty simple to use. Simply plug it in and it automatically is on and ready to go. There are 4 buttons on top that you can press once your hand is in the light that will do a designated time of 10 seconds, 30 seconds or 60 seconds. There’s also a 99 second timer where by the lights come on at half strength and after about 60 seconds increase to full level which means it’s great for products that are prone to giving a heat spike because it’s slowly starts the curing process.If you just place your hand in the light, it will count up. I’m not sure how high it goes, but I got just shy of two minutes and it was still counting. There are sensors that sense your hand are going in the light, but it would be nice if you could select the set amount of time that you wanted, put your hand in and then it counted that time down. My previous lamp also beeped when the timer was finished which this one doesn’t, but that’s only trivial.The light itself isn’t particularly weighty, it does feel quite thin and flimsy compared to the lamp I previously used, so it does move about on the table a bit if the wire is hanging down, but it did an absolutely fantastic job of curing my gel. It’s nice and shiny as it should be, there’s no signs of it, not being cured properly and it’s the fraction of the price of a branded light.If you are trading to the public, then by insurance requirements, you must use the lamp created for your brand, but for a home user, I recommend this one because it has the correct wavelength and nanometre to cure the majority of gel polishes on the market.I’m really pleased with it, and it’s simple to pop away back in its box once you’re done until you want to give yourself a new manicure

Only received this yesterday so only tried it today on three nails as excited to try all three colours. Firstly I thought it was awful as my nails were still tacky after several attempts at curing them. Now bear in mind that I have never used gel polish before and that I didn't fully read the instructions and you will understand how I came to make a simple mistake. I did follow the instructions to clean the nail, put on a base coat, cure, then put on the colour, cure, then put on a top coat, final cure. What I hadn't quite understood was the instruction to wipe the nail after all the curing with the cleaning solution to remove the sticky residue. Once I did that all was well and the polish was hard and shiny. So remember to wipe the nails with an appropriate cleaner to get rid of the tacky residue. So far this product is working just as it should the gel polish looks good, my application needs a bit of work though. The lamp itself seems sturdy and has an automatic action so when you put your hand in and push on the little ridge inside it starts counting up for you. Or of course you can use the timer buttons on the top. They are a bit small to see (old eyes here) and face away from you but that is not a major issue. All in all I am happy with this lamp, how well it does long term remains to be seen but I can't see myself using it often enough to wear it out quickly.

A brilliant lamp, I’ve seen this used by nail techs in salons so I decided to order it to save myself some money, the quality is great, very easy to use and has 3 different timers which is very helpful!

It is such an amazing lamp, lightweight, amazing quality and so easy for on the go. Cures so well. No hot spikes and only thing is with the thick application, it needs to be cured multiple times. So do a thin layer, cure and then a thick

My professional lamp started to fail and didn't want to spend another £150+. This lamp is as good as a higher priced lamp and looks as expensive. Glad I bought this one and saved some money in the process.

I was about to buy the TGB one which I found out was actually the same as this model pretty much. Does a fantastic job curing TGB gel even after a few months of use. It’s very bright and doesn’t make any noise.Lightweight and easy to transport if you’re a mobile tech. Even though it’s light, it feels sturdy.Love the timer and sensor function. This was something I was desperate to get a lamp with. It’s also really easy to choose the right time.

I bought this lamp in August 2024 and by January 2025 I was having issues with products not curing properly. I do only about 4/5 clients a week maximum, so surely it shouldn’t be on it way out in 5 months?! Wouldn’t recommend buying if you’re trying to provide a service to clients as it’s just really unreliable

The media could not be loaded. Great quality and value for money. It's quite sturdy and the removable base is great for doing swatches and pedicures. Looks amazing! The lights give full coverage and easy to use.
