Mini Manicure UV Glue Curing Lamp
A mini manicure UV glue curing lamp is a portable device used to harden or cure UV gel polish, builder gel, and other UV-activated nail products. These lamps are commonly used in both professional nail salons and for at-home manicures.
Material:
- Housing: Typically constructed from plastic, often ABS plastic for durability and lightweight design. Some models may incorporate metal elements for heat dissipation or aesthetic purposes.
- UV LEDs/Bulbs: The core component. Modern lamps primarily use UV LED diodes for faster curing times, longer lifespan, and lower heat emission. Older models may utilize compact fluorescent UV bulbs.
- Internal Components: Electronic circuitry to power the LEDs/bulbs and manage the timer/switch functions.
Purpose:
The primary purpose is to initiate a photochemical reaction within the UV gel polish or other products, causing them to solidify and adhere to the nail. Without a UV/LED lamp, these products remain sticky and uncured.
Function:
The lamp emits UV light at a specific wavelength (typically 365nm and 405nm) that interacts with photoinitiators within the gel polish. This interaction causes the liquid gel monomers to link together, forming a hardened polymer. Features often include:
- Timer: Allows for controlled curing times, preventing over or under-curing.
- Switch: Enables activation and deactivation of the lamp.
- Clip (often included): Facilitates hands-free curing, holding the gel polish in place.
Usage Scenarios:
- Gel Manicures: Curing gel polish layers (base coat, color coat, top coat).
- Builder Gel Applications: Hardening builder gel for nail extensions or strengthening.
- Nail Art: Curing UV-activated nail art embellishments.
- Repairing Cracked Nails: Using UV-activated gel for nail repair.
- Home Use: Convenient for DIY manicures.
- Professional Salons: Efficiently curing nails for multiple clients.
Common Types:
- LED Lamps: Most common type. Offer faster curing times, longer bulb life, and lower heat output.
- UV Lamps (older technology): Utilize fluorescent bulbs. Generally slower curing times and higher heat output.
- Cordless Lamps: Battery-powered for portability.
- Folding Lamps: Designed for easy storage and travel.
- Lamp with Sensor: Automatically activates when a hand is placed inside.
- Single Finger Lamps: Compact lamps designed for curing individual nails or small nail art.
- Black Box Style: Refers to the design, typically a compact, enclosed unit with a simple switch and timer. This design often prioritizes portability and ease of use.
The declared goods are mini manicure UV glue curing lamps, designed for multiple purposes, featuring a clip and switch, and housed in a black box. These lamps utilize ultraviolet light to harden or cure UV-sensitive adhesives commonly used in manicure procedures.
