Okay, I am going off on a different angle here.......and the reason
is if Elaine and Tony are working on a 'VERY SPECIAL LAMP" then I'm
going to add my wish list here.
I use different gels, and they take different times. So how many of
you use the same lamp for SOG and other gels? So for those that are
interested in an LED lamp, are you going to purchase an led lamp and
then use your uv lamp for your other gels?
How about repairs? Yep have a few, base coat. 2 min first coat, 2
min second coat, 2 min top coat.......I want a fast light.
Not all gels cure in 2 minutes, so I don't think of it saving 10
secs. More than that. I use several other gels, and takes 3 minutes.
Also, all top coats are not 2 minute cures, maybe more.
So in MY opinion, which means crap !!!, if you are going to make a
'VERY SPECIAL LAMP" then it should be for several products, large
enough for feet, inexpensive enough to purchase 2 or large enough for 2 hands.
Yes I wait for my clients to finish, mostly after everything is
done. And not with shellac or Gelish, but other brands that I use,
that they may say 2 minutes, but that touchy feely tapping thing I do
to see if they are "cooked" after I wipe the layer off, just needs
that extra zap.
I would love a 10 sec lamp. If it only works for one brand, sorry,
not going to purchase it. Universal guaranteed you have a sale!!!
The manufacturer that invents such a thing, if it CAN be invented
will be making the big bucks!!!!!!!!!!!!! JMHO diana from indiana

I like to think of this emailing list as a little fish bowl of
information. Even when I'm not replying, I'm reading all of your
emails and responses. It frequently helps me with my research. I'm
currently working on my next project. I can't say too much just
yet, but I do have a question for each of you.
LED vs UV
Tony and I were getting heavily involved in LED to the point where
I've designed a very special lamp. But while in London I made a
startling discovery while demonstrating Soak Off UV Gel.
On average, color app takes me about 15 minutes. 20 minutes
tops. That isn't counting prep. I count that in the manicure
service. I mean actual color app. I'm about the same as
Polish. My longest cure is 2:00 (color coats). I was never waiting
on the lamp. My 2 min timer would shut the lamp off just as I was
finishing my last nail. So I would immediately put the hand I was
working on in the lamp and take the other hand out without missing a beat.
This got me thinking. If I continue on this LED thing....why does
10 seconds cure time matter? If her coat is cured, but I still take
2 minutes to apply my next layer, what good is it to be done curing
in 10 seconds? It was really funny that a show attendee that I was
demo'ing on was the one that enlightened me to this. I'm so busy
with work stuff here, that I didn't think like a tech and observe
this all on my own.
I need arguments for both sides. I just am not so sure I want to
continue my LED project unless it is really going to be something
beneficial to all of you.
Thanks to you all, in advance.
