Some people are using the term “nanometers” incorrectly when talking about UV gel manicures or enhancements.
Nanometers are not what cure UV curing products; they are simply a unit of measurement, equivalent to one billionth of a meter, used to describe the wavelengths of light. It is these specific wavelengths that are crucial in curing the product.

Nail lamps don’t just emit a single wavelength. They actually give off a range of wavelengths. For example, a 405 nm lamp emits wavelengths ranging from 420 to 390 nanometers (nm), with 405 nm being the center of this range. Similarly, 365 nm lamps emit wavelengths ranging from 380 to 350 nm, with 365 nm being the center.

It’s important to note that wavelength range isn’t the only factor in curing nail products. The intensity of the light is just as important, in fact it is crucial to proper curing. Cheaper lamps often have a low intensity, which means they don’t cure the product properly. Both the intensity and the wavelength range need to be correct for proper curing to occur.
Hãy nghĩ về cách mặt trời làm rám nắng da bạn khác nhau vào mùa đông so với mùa hè. Ánh sáng UV từ mặt trời là như nhau, nhưng cường độ thấp hơn trong những tháng mùa đông. Vì vậy, cường độ rất quan trọng.
Hiểu các biện pháp thực sự về hiệu quả của đèn làm móng
Some companies that sell cheap lamps might try to trick you by focusing on wattage instead of intensity. But wattage only tells you how much electricity the lamp uses, not the intensity of the UV light. UV intensity is measured in units called mW/cm2, not watts.
