Marsha, Nailite has a light like that except it is a two hand light. I in no way get the sog on in ten seconds. I am not losing time by not having the LED. I DO sometimes have to wait for my first hands to cure, but not enough that I am losing time or money. Those few seconds are not a big loss

I agree with Diana. I'd love a lamp with a variety of timer choices. 10, 30, 60 AND 90 seconds, plus 2 and 3 minute times. I want one lamp to work for all of the common UV gels. I think one hand at a time is enough.   Marsha Rubino Gimme Nails @ Skin Envy Day Spa 38 First Ave E. Ste. E Kalispell

I was intrigued by the LED light and "ALMOST" wanted on until I saw a Gelish demo in Orlando. The fact that LED does not bounce means that even though you can put the whole hand in the light, the thumbs need to be cured separately. I did the four fingers and thumb thing for years and do not care
