One description says 4 9-watt LED, the other says 18 2-watt LED lights. Could someone tell me how many LED lights are inside this unit?

This is the same unit my nail tech in FL uses in her salon. I bought it for home use when I'm not there. It is plenty large enough to do your whole hand at once. As for the timer, I leave the unit unplugged when not in use and then just set it to 30 sec when I'm doing my nails and then cure them twice, like she has me do at the salon. Once you set the timer, it stays on that setting until you unplug it. It turns off after the time has elapsed. You just have to shift your hand (not remove it) to set another 30 seconds. Hope this helps.

I have the same model of lamp. But it is good to share with a fellow customer my experience with the 10 w whish has the same structure. I had a 10 w whish did not lite one day. I open and at the inside that this type of lamp has integated circuit with a non replaceble led bulb. So the best advice is to discard and replace it with a new one.

There are 4 buttons that should be preset to different time amounts. Or you can also set them. I think mine came with A (10sec for base cure) and the. B, C, D are 90, 120, 180. If thats not it. Check that you have bulbs plugged in firmly. They might be arc'ing? Hope that helps.

The first lamp I purchased had one bank of LEDs flicker and go off periodically after the first 60 days of use, but never all of the LEDs. Your unit sounds defective. I had to contact the manufacturer about my flickering bank of LEDs. They were very helpful, and in my case they sent a replacement lamp.

The leds will last year's and years before going out.. if your crafty new leds can be soldered in place, other than that for the price u can throw away and buy new..lol.. I run alot of these units. I haven't had any led go out yet.. and the plants love the spectrums... hope this helps..

I use my lamp rarely (three or four times) but when I do it is really H-A-N-D-Y! The thing to keep in mind is that it uses three AAA batteries not some exotic and expensive battery. And it is still bright as ever. Batteries for LED lamps, per Wikipedia, are supposed to last "significantly longer" before they fail, due to the low power draw. Bottom line: It's the right tool for the right job, beats candles and matches and, unless you're an octopus, handheld (tentacle held?) flashlights. And AAA batteries are CHEAP!

This fixture doesn't use a 3-watt LED. This fixture uses a 1-watt LED. The manufacturer doesn't do a good job of making this clear.The fixture consumes 3 watts total. 2 watts are lost in the power regulator; 1 watt is consumed by the LED.I've compared this fixture side-by-side to a 200 lumen fixture, and it's about half as bright, maybe less. I'd guess that it's realistically about 80 lumens.

I have seen a comment that said : "I had a problem with my CFL light('s) flickering so I tried putting LED bulb in and it worked fine since" My opinion on this comment -> the CFL bulb either was too low a wattage and/or not dimmable; If you do try using a LED bulb I strongly suggest you make sure it IS a DIMABLE LED ,Even though this device will not dim the bulb this is important so as not to damage your LED unit and thus possibly damaging timer unit as well.

Hello! There is nothing extra that's needed to compliment this light's spectrum for flowering as it is already the absolute most complete spectrum that you can create using LED lights once both switches are used for flowering purpose. We use our proprietary 11-band spectrum which has been tuned, tried and tested for years with incredible results. If you're looking to not compliment the spectrum but compliment the *overall light footprint*, then that's a different story! 2 of these in a 4x4 tent would allow a very tight panel height above plant tops and only yield more and more. Or, step up to the 150x3w model.. Hello!

Shan is correct. The five blue LEDs typically light up one for each watt. When you go over five, the unit goes into "High Power Mode", and the first LED flashes red/blue to indicate that you are drawing 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10 watts.

Yes, I bought 2 of them and thats what I used them for. just a note only 2 frequencies so only able to use 2 in close location. Only problem is can't use florescent lights, not sure about new led lights. Also the switch button needs getting use to. Not just off on. depends on how long and hard you push switch, sometimes it will go on or off but also it has dimer built in, and pushing on/off will set dimer to working. Just have to watch light. when operating. I would buy it again. I am very happy with it.

This unit has three settings. Low,#1, draws 600 W. Med, #2, draws 900 W. High, #s 1 and 2, draw 1500W. Don't let these numbers scare you. I had a much older model and never had a light nor any appliance show any effect during operation.

I have 2 of these lights. Unfortunately you cannot connect 2 lights to one timer, but the timers use the same ir signal from the remote. Once you have the settings the way that you want, place the timers next to each other and both will receive the commands from one remote

Yes,u can use a12W Led i have a 9W Led and i cure it a little more longer, But just add 30 more minutes to your nails.lol. I will be purchasing a higher one.because now my family members want their nails done fast.But only for me my 9WLed works well for me.So,yes ur 12W Led lamp will work also.

The lights are rated for 85w, but there is a lot of confusion as to if that's 85w total, or 85w for each socket. You can definitely use 4x23w CFL (100watt equivalent) which is actually a little over 85 watts, and they sell these with 4x45watt CFL's, so I'm assuming the listed 85watts is not total, but for each socket. I do know from experience... if you put 4 100watt incandescents in there, you'll definitely blow the fuse in the light (I've done it).

buy a new unit. for the price of these new if you have a few of the LEDS go out you should just buy a new unit. they are not worth messing with. I have 3 lamps go out on mine after a few hours. they sent me a new one.

Well, I am using 4 UltraLED 14W bulbs in one single fixture, and I am using the existing dimmer that I was using before whe I had 4 regular incandescent 60W bulbs. Seems to work fine, except that I can only dim the lights about 40%, after which the bulbs begin to flicker and the go off. Wish I could dim them more. Maybe I should be using a more compatible dimmer.
