Nail hybrid lamps: what it is and how to use it correctly?

Today, no modern girl can do without a manicure. If the nails are not strong enough and brittle, the situation is saved by building up artificial plates, strengthening natural plates or resistant coating.

Different in composition means involve the use of lamps of different types of illumination. For professionals and amateurs it is practical to buy a hybrid lamp for drying nails.

The hybrid lamp is popular precisely because of its versatility. Such a device is suitable for polymerization in the process of building and for drying gel varnishes. The combination of technical properties of lamps such as: CCFL, LED and UF assumes the functionality and quality of all “working” elements. In terms of external parameters and design, the hybrid “UV + LED” is similar to the standard UF devices: a plastic case, inside of which functional light elements are installed, which are activated by connecting the device to the power grid.

In a hybrid apparatus, 1–2 UF lamps emit light and 12 pcs. LEDs, providing high-quality drying of various coatings, including acrylic, ordinary varnish, bio-gel.

The built-in number of “drying” elements is enough to fix any coating in a short time, which allows significant savings on electricity.

When choosing a suitable device, you need to take into account the purpose for which it is purchased: for personal use or for work in the cabin.

The hybrid lamp type LED + CCFL is equipped with gas-powered lamps, without a filament. This protects the nail plate from overheating, and due to the increased intensity of the radiation produced, the drying process is accelerated. A device with obvious advantages and a guarantee of high-quality manicure. It is only important to understand how to choose the right hybrid lamp.

"Hybrids" are distinguished by the following technical characteristics:

• High power. Cold cathode LED technology gives excellent results. The build-up and drying of the coating is faster, which has a beneficial effect on the productivity and income of the manicure master, and saves personal time with an independent manicure.
• Efficiency. Used LED technology requires less power consumption.
• Durability. The strength of materials and the reliability of technology provide stable functionality for many hours of work.

• By security. Waves of radiation in this range do not harm the body.
• Great functionality. A set of functions to ensure optimal working conditions, malfunctions are minimal, thanks to the fuse from the voltage drop.
• Versatility. Drying of all types of coatings is possible.
• Wide range allows you to choose the appropriate design for a specific interior. There are two-hand models that cut procedure time in half.

Choose a device based on all the listed criteria, with the optimum functionality for themselves and at an affordable price. Too cheap lamps and questionable places of sale should be avoided. Any electric appliance should have a guarantee and a certificate of quality.

Depending on the type of heating device and the applied coating, the time interval for polymerization will vary, the use of a hybrid lamp is not difficult. Prior to use, you should read the instructions attached to it, in order to avoid unwanted results. The time interval must be strictly followed. It is advisable to choose a device with a timer or equipped with a special sound signal. Otherwise, you will have to navigate by the clock, which is not very convenient and distracting in the process of manicure.

All devices have a cable to connect to the network, before starting work, you must insert the plug into the outlet. After coating the nails, the hand is placed inside the device. After that, the timer counts the time required for polymerization, after which the lights go out. Some models are suitable for pedicure. Special sliding mirror platforms allow you to comfortably dry your toes.

It is a hybrid-type lamp that is most often praised by professionals and ordinary consumers. They prefer to buy for salons and home use, noting the functionality, versatility, safety and durability. A diverse design makes it possible to choose a lamp for any interior, which is important for nail service shops. As well as the reason for praise is the affordable cost of the devices, the presence of a sleep timer and protection against overheating.
