What's the Difference Between UV & LED

LED instead of UV

Beam Light Arctica delivers white LED Light with less than 5% UV – for Maximum Visibility, Minimal Irritation, and noticeably better Results. The wavelength is 405 nanometers.

UV Beam Light delivers purple UV LED light with the wavelength: 395nm ( 5W / 1A / 5V)

Work visibly better

Clear LED Light instead of purple Glow – Arctica gives you full visual Control while Lashing. You see with more Precision, work more accurately, and deliver more consistent Results.

The "UV" lash light systems that professionals now use are actually LED lights emitting light in the UV spectrum to cure specialized adhesives quickly and effectively. Making it NOT a traditional UV light. The light is safe for the skin and eye area.

• Technology: Emits specific wavelengths of light using light-emitting diodes. 

• Glue Compatibility: Cures specialized photo-reactive glues designed for this technology.

• Curing: Provides much faster curing times for the adhesive. 

• Heat & Energy: More energy-efficient, produces less heat, and lasts longer. 

• Safety: Considered safer for skin and eyes due to lower energy output and focused wavelengths. 

  
  

The term "UV lash light" in the beauty industry often refers to a modern LED system that uses UV wavelengths (like 395nm) to cure a specific adhesive, offering the benefits of LED technology with the fast curing of UV systems.

• For faster, more durable lash sets, an LED light curing specialized adhesive is the superior choice.

• Choose LED systems for client comfort and safety, as they are less likely to cause eye or skin sensitivity. 

Traditional UV lights & Lamps

• Technology: Uses broad-spectrum UV rays emitted from fluorescent tubes. Tanning bulbs and nail curing lights

• Glue Compatibility: Cures traditional photo-reactive lash glues.

• Curing: Slower curing times compared to LED. 

• Heat & Energy: Generates more heat and consumes more energy. 

• Safety: Emits non-ionizing radiation that can be harmful with prolonged exposure.
