The lamp offers you the choice of using traditional CFL lights, LED lights, or a combination of both. As the number of gels in the industry come out that are designed for either LED or UV light, the Odyssey combo lamp helps nail techs cover all their bases. The lamp has the CFL bulbs in a coil shape to preserve space and deliver proper light intensity, as well as dual LED bulbs with an ultraviolet intensity of 340-400 nm (UVA-1). The UV coil bulbs do not need to be replaced, and neither do the LEDs, during the lamp’s lifetime use of 20,000–50,000 hours. It includes a removable base for curing toenails and is light and easy to carry. The lamp has one-touch cure time settings for 30 seconds, one minute, and two minutes.
