(Sorry! On my blkbry and sent prematurely). I was going to say the sun is exponentially stronger and a few minutes of sun exposure would probably be more comparative to a few *days* of exposure in a typical 9 watt lamp.
In addition, is there any proof that our lamps even create the spectrum of light that has been determined to cause skin cancer? I believe I read about a "study" (rather than an off-the-cuff comment by a doctor) conducted by Doug Schoon (CND), Paul Bryan (sp? OPI) and Jim McConnell (Light Elegance). I would give this thorough study much more credence. I think it is available on Doug's site--go check it out! On another inflammatory TV show, acetone was poured into a styrofoam cup and as it unsurprisingly (because of the similar chemistries) dissolved the cup, the dramatic visual was said to demonstrate the effects of acetone on our skin. Folks, this is the same as if boiling water were poured into a vessel made of ice! Just because a loud voice and a vivid graphic declare something to be true, it doesn't mean it is! Of course we all have to work within our comfort zones---but do your homework and don't buy into sensa tionalistic "ratings week" media.

O.K. this is going to anger everyone. Please realize I was trained in Disaster Response by the United State Air force. One of the many types of disasters we respond to is radiation (mostly after crash's). Having said that: Yes UV exposure can and will cause cancer. It depends of length of time and amount of exposure over a period of years. Personally I would never us an UV lamp for any reason. The amount of chemicals and radiation exposure I have been subjected to (even with hazmat suits) of course has been accumulative over the years. Ladies Radiation is accumulative (you don't get rid of it after being exposed - you add after each exposure). Using just the nail UV lamp should not be a problem unless you have used it weekly for a good deal of time (say 5 years). This is very different than say the booth's at tanning salons.
