BOTH. From what I read on the manual and my observation, it is a saver form of UV light. It is LED light for sure but the color of the LED light is similar to UV color spectrum and it also generate heat. So it can dry gel nail really quick because the LED light is emitting in UV light. I think it is saver that regular tanning UV fluorescent light. We like it some much we bought two. Little expensive but highly recommend it. Hope this help.

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).

I am a customer. I am also a scientist. For UV lamps to produce ozone, the bulb must produce a very specific wavelength of light. UV used to kill microbes and the like is UVC which does not produce ozone. Mere presence of high voltage als does not mean that you produce ozone. Do a search on ozone generators!

Dear Lindy, This data is on the description of the unit. Please look that up or type in the unit name and go to the company that makes it and they will have the data you want. Understand it is a UV light. You will order this from the company.

I just got my lamp this past December. I have tried it using gelish and kiss brands. Both brands worked perfect with this lamp.

According to eHow and several other sources I have read, there is no UV emitted by LED's. Their spectrum is very limited and neither the high frequency end (UV) nor the low frequency end (Infrared or heat) are emitted. The result is a very efficient light emitter right in the spectrum to which the eye is sensitive.

Just search "gel nail uv light" on here and they have a ton to choose from. I got one for $19.99 that works great!

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.

We purchased one and it was the Gelish LED brand. My wife had one previously that was a different brand and it was UV not LED. It was a lot cheaper but didn't work nearly as well as the LED model. Hope this helps.

You need a stronger light. I had that same problem with the opi pastels. Stronger light did the trick.

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!

This kit does not come with the UV lamp. You will need to purchase that separately.

No, because this lamp does not produce ultraviolet (UV) rays. Your skin only produces vitamin D when it's exposed to UV-B light.
