From everything else I've read the LED lamp does not create the harmful UV so why are the gloves included in this kit?

After reading several scientific studies, they are for added safety. LED is considered less harmful, but it's a case of better safe than sorry.

There are two reasons for this. Different LED lamps emit different ranges of light and almost all include some UV. It all boils down to the light wavelength range. In this case, the gloves are included for safety. The other reason is that LED lamps get surprisingly hot very quickly, especially when using more powerful LED lamps. Nova Gloves protect you from this heat exposure.

I have a uv lamp . So I'm not sure . But I don't see why it wouldn't. Most of the gels I've used will work under both . The led is actually better than the uv. So I'm pretty sure it will.

Yes these LED lights will produce UV Light. That is how it works. You need the UV to dry the nails.

UV just means that it give off an Ultraviolet light. The ultraviolet light can be created by different types of bulbs. LED is a light-emitting diode- a type of light bulb.

They could possibly be harmful as they are ultraviolet ultraviolet rays can damage the skin over time but they are eco-friendly because they are also LEDs which used very little energy

Perfectly safe. The amount of UVA/UVB is vanishingly small more than 2 feet away from the bulb, and even at very close range is much less than from the afternoon sun. I think getting a slight burn from touching it after it has been on for a while is a more serious hazard, though its heat output is only in the 40W incandescent range. One should remember, though, that these are flourescent bulbs, and all the warnings about breaking this kind of bulb apply.

Yes the LED lamp is included. It is small but I can do four fingers at once, but not the thumb. I don't think it's very powerful, but I'm not sure what the standard or norm should be. It does work, it's just a little time consuming.

It will work with LED much faster than with a UV lamp...but you must use one or the other.

I have not tried that. I have used the kit once, but without much success, I believe due to not having vehicle in direct sunlight, (I live in Washington state). I will probably have to invest in an ultraviolet heat lamp.

I was thinking the same thing. I am thinking about buying a reptile light they make uvb

I have been running mine with a UVB in one and another with a heat lamp for months without issue.

Yes, it is my understanding that it has everything to do withe the intensity of the light. It is not providing any UVA or UVB rays which might be filtered out by glasses. I wear my glasses while I sit next to my Happy Light and read or work on my computer. So does my mother.

It is definitely LED. UV lamps are very hard for consumers to get at retail, ebay is probably your best source. It can be used with pretty much all of the other LED polishes out there (e.g. Sensationail, Sally Hansen).

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

Hi Sandra, I'm not sure about any UV issues regarding the usage of these lights. There are numerous studies on the benefits of the red lights and blue lights. I would suggest asking the seller. Good luck.

The answer, Lela, is, you can not be sure. The company did not bother to provide any information as to why/how the gloves block UV. The material is not listed (unless it is listed on the packaging) but even so, you would have to know which materials are known to block UV and then you would have to look at the how tightly the weave was...a lot of work for a customer. There is no percentage given, another red flag. Why wouldn't there be a percentage? Imagine buying a sunscreen which simply says "Blocks UV"...

Not sure. I wasnt too concerned because my regular glasses have both UVA and UVB protection.
