I'm a nail tech and yes you can. I use the OPI LED light and it works great! It actually works faster because it's stronger lighting than UV. I do 30 seconds after each layer and 60 seconds for the top coat. Hope this helped

Yes you can as long as the product is able to cure with LED. You can use timers based on the product specs

Yes. There is a button on the top surface labeled UV. That button contols the uv light being on/off.

Cnd is not formulated to use with led lights. Further research onlibe had said it only cures with uv lamps.

You can cure the CND Shellac Top and Base Coat gels with a UV LED light, not just a plain LED light. It has to be "ultraviolet" light, in order to cure the gel. The new gel lights are UV LED lights. It takes less time to cure the gel using the UV LED lights, too! You can buy them at some drugstores, now, in the gel polishes section.

Sorry, I don't know. But perhaps there is company contact info. Another way would be to cut piece of lighting Gel ...Color Correction or Diffusion and tape it on.

No. If the polish says UV you must have a UV light. If it says LED you must have LED light.

Yes you can cure at home with the correct light. A LED UV light will cure opi gelcolors but not opi axxium! Axxium can be cured with an UV light only. UV lights are less expensive but take longer to cure- usually 2 minutes per coat. A LED UV light only takes 30 seconds to cure so it is more expensive 100$ and >

This light comes with UV Bulbs only. There are NO LED bulbs. I bought this lamp because it said it cures with LED light. I also sold it because it has no LED to cure the gel polish. I already have a UV lamp, I didn't need another one.

The resultant UV rays are the same between LED and fluorescent--the LEDs are stronger and therefore faster. There will be no effect on the gel. The gel is either properly cured or it is not. The difference will be the time--much faster with LED.

If the gel polish says LED Cured, then this lamp will work. If it says UV only, then it won't work.

I bought a Shany brand UV nail lamp on Amazon. I just double the curing time with the UV compared to the LED. SHANY UV Gel Light Nail Dryer, 36 Watts Pro Series

Hi S. Julian, The Nova LED Lamp is designed specifically to cure LED gel polishes like Gelish, Orly Gel FX, CND Shellac and Gelicious. Curing times will vary depending on the brand. Traditional gels commonly found in a salon that aren't "gel polishes" typically come in a jar and are applied with a brush. These require UV lamps to be cured. UV lamps can also cure LED gels, but they take about 8-10 times longer vs LED lamps.

Yes, for most gels like this one, you do. A uv or led light works with geleration. I've heard the drug store brands that don't need a light peel off after a couple days. I recommend a led light since a uv light is like a tanning bed and over time may cause cancer & it dries your nails so much faster.

Yes, works great with an LED light! I'm pretty sure all Gelish products can cure with LED or UV.
