CCFL lamp
When considering which nail drying lamps are best to use for home and professional use, you need to consider another type of device. These are CCFL devices. The lamps of these devices are a flask that contains an inert gas, as well as a small amount of mercury vapor. They create a flicker-free glow that is safe for your eyesight.
Devices with 1-3 lamps are on sale. This allows the light flux to be evenly distributed. The more lamps, the more uniform the polymerization occurs. At the same time, the radiation spectrum of the presented variety of devices is wide. It is 315-410 nm. This makes the device universal. The lamp provides hardening of almost all known photopolymer-type nail coatings. The polymerization time depends on the color of the varnish. Translucent varieties cure faster.
The advantages of this type of lamp are as follows:
- Fast polymerization, which takes only 30-60 seconds.
- Suitable for all polymer varnishes, except for compositions hardened using LED devices.
- The service life is quite long, 60,000 hours.
- Low energy consumption.
- Safe for eye, nail and skin health.
- The lamp does not heat up during operation, which eliminates the possibility of thermal burns.
- The number of starts does not accelerate equipment wear.
The disadvantage of this type of device is the following:
- High cost when compared with ultraviolet varieties.
- CCFL lamps consume 10-30% more electricity.
- Complex and expensive repairs.

Selection rules
By power
The lowest power of the device is 9 W. These lamps are quite weak.
Lamps with a power of 18 W have good performance and are perfect for manicure at home.
36 W devices combine reasonable cost and high-quality results. They are suitable for professionals and beginners. Drying nails lasts 2-3 minutes.
Devices with a power of 45 W, 54 W are chosen by professionals. Manicure dries much faster. Additionally, fans can be built into such lamps to protect the device from overheating.
Models of devices with a power of 9 and 18 W require a lot of time to dry your nails.
By size
Some small devices allow you to dry only one hand.
If you need a lamp to dry both hands at the same time, it will be more expensive, larger and heavier, but the manicure will take less time.
For home use, it is better to choose models that are lighter and more compact.
According to case material
The body of the device must have reflectors . If they are missing, then the lamp is of poor quality. It's better to stop using it. The reflector located at the bottom is covered with film. It must be removed before first use.
A big plus is the presence of a removable bottom. This makes it much easier, if necessary, to wash the inside of the device and change the light bulbs.
If the reflector is made of dense metal, then it allows you to do manicure more effectively. But thick foil or thin metal plates have a lower reflectivity.
According to the availability of additional functions
The work is greatly simplified if the lamps have additional functions.
- The timer is present in most high-quality models. Thanks to it, the lamp can turn off after 1-3 minutes, or can work longer.
- The fan allows you to cool your nails while the polish is curing.
If the fan works very hard, “waves” may appear on the nail plates.
- Some devices may beep at the start of polymerization and at the end of it. But they cost significantly more.
- If the lamp has a self-powered function, it means it has a built-in battery that allows you to charge the device.
Internal and external appearance
The appearance of the lamp varies in color and shape. It can be plain white or have a variegated pattern, be rectangular or round. These characteristics do not affect the quality of the device.
There are two types of light bulbs:
- Luminescent . They are inexpensive and consume little electricity.
- LED . The service life is tens of times longer than that of fluorescent ones. Dries nails in a few seconds and does not heat up.
The main aspect of choice is the internal component. The power of the UV lamp depends on it.
Most popular models
- JESSNAIL 36 W. One of the most affordable models. Has a timer and a removable bottom. Suitable for working with any photosensitive varnish.
- RUNAIL 36 W. Suitable for home and salon use. It dries varnish efficiently and has three timer modes.
- PLANET NAILS BIG HEART . Popular among beginners. Combines reasonable price and excellent quality. There is no timer.
- UV lamp 36W ALIEXPRESS . Affordable price. Timer for 120 seconds. Dries well all light-sensitive varnishes.

Which nail lamp is better?
Since all novice nail polish dryers have to choose a device for drying gel polish, one of the most common questions is “Which one is better?”, because the quality of fixation of the decorative layer depends on its choice.
Gel polish, which is now most often used on girls’ nails, contains polymers, which is why it does not harden in the air like regular polish. For its polymerization, special lamps are used, which take 1-2 minutes for the coating to completely harden.
There are three main types of lamps for drying decorative bases on nails:
- Ultraviolet lamp.
- LED lamp.
- Hybrid.
All three types are quite common and are used in salons by nail technicians, however, based on the type of coating being performed and the frequency of use of the device, it is worth choosing certain models.
You should also first take into account that all light bulbs have different power, which determines the rate of hardening and adhesion of nail polish, and the transition of the color base from liquid to solid state.
The price of the device depends on the power:
- 9 W. The lowest figure that can be found in stores. Most often it has small, portable devices that run on batteries. They are suitable for correcting 1-2 nails at home;
- 18 W. Can be used for home manicure by beginners in this field, since it will take quite a lot of time to dry, which increases the risk that the applied composition will begin to flow;
- 36 W. Used more often by nail technicians working at home. Most models have an indicator that is quite convenient for work;
- 40 or more VT. It is usually used in professional salons, allowing you to eliminate coating leaks, since it hardens in a few seconds.
The power should be chosen based on the device you decide to buy, since different devices are designed for different drying purposes.
UV lamps - pros and cons
Ultraviolet nail devices appeared earlier than others, although now they are used quite often, especially when doing manicures at home. They have a fairly low price - about 1000 rubles.
However, keep in mind that the device operates for quite a long time compared to new models. The average polymerization time for thin coatings on nails is 2 minutes. The extended plates are fixed for 3 minutes. This is the main drawback of the devices.
But UV lamps also have positive sides:
- Low price. Because of this, they are suitable for beginners in this field, as well as for home manicures.
- Versatility. Suitable for fixing most compounds.
- Economical. Low power results in the consumption of a small amount of electrical energy.
- A large assortment. There are many brands that make light bulbs, so you can quickly select the desired power, type, type, color.
This type is most suitable for home manicure, since not all clients are willing to wait 2-3 minutes for nail polymerization after applying the decorative layer.
LED lamps - pros and cons
To polymerize the coating, special safe LEDs built into the device are used. This type of device appeared relatively recently, so the range is not as wide as previous models.
Keep in mind that not all formulations and gel polishes are suitable for polymerization in an LED lamp, so you must first pay attention to this when purchasing consumables.
But the line also has advantages:
- Rapidity. The manicure hardens in 20-30 seconds.
- No overheating. Even with constant operation, the case does not heat up.
- Uniformity. Despite the short fixation time of the base, the impact of the rays is distributed evenly, which prevents incomplete drying of the areas.
The price of devices is from 1000 to 5000-6000 rubles.
Hybrid lamps - pros and cons
Hybrids appeared even later, so they are mainly used only in showrooms. The device combines LED and fluorescent light bulbs, making it universal for nail coating types.
Hybrids include the advantages of both types of devices:
- Versatility.
- Fast drying of nails. The coating is fixed in 20-60 seconds.
- Economical.
- Long-term work. It lasts for several years with constant use.
- Uniform distribution of light energy.
- Presence of a timer.
The price of models is higher - from two and a half to ten thousand rubles.

TOP best lamps for manicure
The summary includes lamps that differ in price category, technical characteristics and appearance, but at the same time, they have won the hearts of our customers and your part-time colleagues. The opinion of other professionals plays a big role in the choice and will definitely allow you to find the one!

UV/LED Perfect Lamp 5 48 W ParisNail
LED/UV lamp 80 Watt 3432 ruNail
UV/LED lamp 48 Watt hybrid SUN 2 L
UV/LED lamp 54 Watt hybrid “SUN 5 Plus” white L
This hybrid lamp rightfully took first place in our rating because it is powerful (54 W), stylish and has a number of additional options that will be useful in your work. Let's go in order!
Like most lamps, the model has a sensor for automatic switching on and polymerizes all types of coating using UV and LED light sources. Among the basic options, we highlight the presence of a timer and a removable bottom, which simplifies the pedicure process.
Among the advantages, it should be noted the display, which helps to keep track of time, as well as the absence of a blind spot - the diodes are located in such a way that the glow covers all fingers at the same time.
Why do they prefer this lamp? It has an energy saving mode that will prevent you from baking in a lamp. This is important because often in lamps where the power is higher than average, the client experiences a burning sensation, but not in SUN 5 Plus.
UV/LED Perfect Lamp 5 48 W ParisNail
Our customers awarded third place to this hybrid lamp. Why? It differs from its predecessors in shape: it is not semicircular, but rectangular with streamlined corners. And we should also note the white and silver color of the lamp, which looks stylish and stands out among the assortment.
The lamp includes a basic set of functions: a sensor for automatic switching on, a removable bottom, a timer and an optimal power of 48 W. Why optimal? Because now many gel polishes are so pigmented that lamps with lower power may simply not be effective.
Unlike previous lamps, there is a digital display with which it is easy to record the operating time of the lamp, and the best part is that there is no blind spot, that is, every finger in the lamp will definitely dry out.
But we left the two coolest features for dessert. We are talking about 2 additional operating modes! The first one allows polymerization to be carried out delicately, that is, the lamp power gradually increases due to which there is no burning, and the second one, on the contrary, works at maximum, which is suitable for coatings that need to be dried quickly and efficiently. For any craftsman, such a device will be a godsend; in addition, the lamp comes with a bonus as a gift - a stylish photophone, with which it is easy to take bright pictures.
LED/UV lamp 3432 ruNail
Compared to other lamps, this model is much more powerful - it has as much as 80 W, which is 2 times more than the previous ones! This is good because any artificial turf, even the densest one, will dry out in it.
In addition to the basic options in the form of a removable bottom, automatic switching on and a timer for 10, 30, 60 and 99 seconds, the lamp has a special mode for gradually increasing power, in which you can easily avoid burning in the lamp. Also, a huge plus is the presence of a display and a convenient handle for carrying the device from one place to another.
This lamp is an excellent example of a stylish, compact and inexpensive device that will look great in any interior and at the same time has the necessary options for a comfortable work of the master.
Second place. Irisk, UV/LED Moon plus lamp, 36W
