Is the lamp LED or UV? I've noticed people saying one or the other in the reviews.

UV (ultraviolet) is NOT good for your skin (hands in this case). It would be like suntanning your face for 8 hours. There are gloves you can buy if you're going to use a UV lamp. I much prefer a NON-UV light -- for the health of my skin.

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).

It's both actually. LED is the type of bulb being used (opposed to incandescent, halogen, etc). UV is the type of wavelength that bulb gives off (UV gives it the purple color).

I think it is led, however do not waste your money on this, it is terrible!

I own both the UV and the LED Thermal Spa light. I am not sure what the watts mean. I do know that the LED is much faster.... 30 seconds vs 3 minutes. We are very happy with the LED lamp. Our UV lamp is collecting dust.

There is a little door on the side of the unit that opens up. You will see the light from the UV bulb shining through if it is on. (Read your manual!)

There is no such thing as "LED polish". Some UV lamps are powered by LED lights, while others are incandescent or fluorescent. LED merely indicates the type of lightbulb used in the lamp. However, LED lights will cure nails much faster.

This is a solar powered light. I think you are looking for a sun lamp? From what I've read, sun lamps rely on large doses of ultraviolet light. This light does not emit much in that spectrum, so don't think it's what you are looking for.

Without taking it apart, my educated guess is fluorescent. Definitely not LED.

The Lamp in question uses LED ( LIGHT EMMI TING DIODES ) to produce an ultra violet light ( UV Light ).Standard UV lamps that are not LED use Fluorescent tubes to produce the UV Light. The result of using the LED is that it gives a much more specific wavelength of light which in turn cures the polish MUCH quicker.

Hello! My husband bought me this for Valentines Day and it works great. It is LED, which is better than UV. It will dry polish that says UV and in a shorter time. Usually 60 seconds for light colors and 90 seconds for dark colors. Hope this helps.

I didn't like the multicolor feature either so I bought a white LED and replaced it. It sounds complicated but it was quite easy and I LOVE the lamp.

I believe it is a typo on Amazon's part. I got it from Amazon and it is LED, as described on Asus' website. Btw, amazing colors, highly recommended.

No, it only has LED lights. I would not have purchased this item if it had UV lights.

Like others said... When IN, the UV light is "On" It CAN be seen a wee bit through about the area of the middle of the grill if the room is somewhat dark, but UV light is harmful to eyes so don't be staring at it long. Note: Even if the UV button is "In" it only goes on if the fan is in run mode ( Low,med,high) If fan is "Off" the UV is off too.

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.

I happen to be in the lamp manufacturing business. The output of this mirror LED is in the visiable range. It has no harmful UVB or UVA component. In fact the spectral response provides excellent duplication of natural daylight.

Don't know if a full spectrum bulb is considered a LED. But I tried 3 other lamps before I settled on this one. I have had it about a year. No regrets. Would but it again.

It doesn't say anything about UV on the package. The graph shows little output below 400nm, <5% daylight. It's equivalent to a 10w fluorescent and a 50w incandescent.
