Should you buy this product? Yes, if you are looking to do your own nails at home and for cheap. This is a decent product works well no complaints so far. I love using this it is also easy to assemble and clean which is why I love it so much. As far as recommending another product I believe this product is well worth it, I know there are other UV lamps out there that are extremely pricy or can be pricy but I believe it does the same thing. Overall I was satisfied with my purchase and I do recommend this product! It is easy, safe, and fun to use! Enjoy!

I have this same lamp and love it! I got it almost a year ago and use it very regularly; and is yet to let me down. It works for regular nail polish and gel. I may get another one soon since having only one nail dryer can be a bit of a pain. But it's a good buy for sure!

I love this product. For personal use or if you are a salon getting started, this product works beautifully. Comments I saw, before buying, mentioned the bulbs didn't work or went out quickly. I found that is not the case but that some of the bulb connections were a little loose. If a bulb doesn't light, I simply push the bulb in further. I bought 2 of these for my spa parties and for personal use. They never fail! I have owned them for almost a year and use them weekly.

I've never had any issues with it but I mostly use a LED lamp. For the money it works when I need it to.

I love this lamp. I have had it for almost a year now and it does the job. I have not had to change the bulbs yet, and I use it often. The bulbs are much easier to change than the old lamp I have. Hope this helps.

This is a really good one. I have that one an it's as good as what the nail solons use. I'm going to buy another one for that price. Works great!

Yes, it works the very same way as the UV lamp. I bought the LED lamp because the bulbs never have to be replaced and it is safer for skin, according to the reviews. This unit has sufficient timer settings for product that takes a little longer to cure. The cavity is smaller than the UV lamp for some reason, but the fingers and thumb fit just fine, and it is sufficiently roomy for toes, too. So far, I do not regret buying this lamp. UPDATE: Now that I've had an opportunity to use this unit a few times, I do have one issue with the system that I didn't think to consider when I purchased it. The lamp is only in the top of the unit and the sides are reflectors. While it is true the unit can accommodate the fingers and thumb, the outside edge of the thumb for most clients does not cure because the reflectors have no effect and the light does not "see" the outside edge of the thumb. Thus, thumbs have to be held over the index finger (uncomfortable) to cure with the fingers, or they have to be cured separately. Had I realized this about the unit I would not have purchased this system.

So far I have used Bundle Monster, IBD, Sally Hansen, Sensationail, Elite 99 Chameleon and Christina Gel Polish and they all work great with this lamp. I bet CND Shellac should work great.

Hello. Yes, with the Polish I have I have to wipe off the sticky stuff. But I'm not sure if that is due to the lamp or the polish. I have used both uv and led lamps and have the same outcome. I really like this lamp though. Since I got one I have been doing my own nails at home often!

The place where I bought the UV light from did at one time sell replacement bulbs. You'll have to contact the site to see if they still do

Hi Andriw, the UV lamp seems to go off and on at its own interval. There is no way to control it yourself -- it will be on sometimes, and off others. However, you could take the bulb out if you don't want the lamp on.

Yes Ronald. It is definitely a 40 watt UV bulb. I buy mine at Lowes Hardware. And ya can also buy them at Walley World. Can't remember the price though. Hope this helps.

I would google ultraviolet vs led and read the answers. A good one was this one www.nsinails.com/.../led-vs-uv-by-rise'-c...Hope that helps!!Crystal

it comes with the UV lamp separately. You have to install it inside but explained and easy. According to them, the lamp is efficient for one year, so.....

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.

I don't have any issues with the lamp (so far) I love it. Maybe you can return and get another one, well worth it.

My lamp is older, and I had to screw it in. It looks great. Here's a pic: http://i.imgur.com/Ia5wmYX.jpg

yes! any led or uv light brand will work fine. I personally would recommend LED over UV. It cured faster.

Don't listen to answers here about this unit. Contact: sales@ispringfilter.com. I believe they sell a 220V transformer/power supply for the UV lamp. Great system if you follow the instructions to the letter. Hope this helps. Doug

I haven't used one with it yet myself, but I don't see why not. Polished aluminum fixtures like these can reflect a lot more light downward than painted fixtures, but that's more of an issue for CFL UVB bulbs than anything else (output can easily be doubled for those bulbs). CHEs, like spot lamps are already pretty directional, possibly even more so. I'd say just follow general CHE guidelines like Zoo Med's http://www.zoomed.com/Library/ProductDBFiles/ceramicheat.pdf I know it specifically lists 3 Zoo Med fixtures, but the big thing seems to be having a porcelain socket.

There is no UV lamp/bulbs in the mechanism. When you turn it over, all you will see are panels with the LED bulbs and wiring.
