Does this use a UV light or LED light?

It will cure under both. The difference is the amount if time it takes. UV is about 2 minutes where LED is about 30 seconds

UV light is for nail drying. LED light is for the timer. I thought you misread the description. You need to do two times to get nail dried. I got headache from the UV light, therefore, I am not using it very much. It is quite big and heavy. It has excessive room for one hand but is tight for both hands in.

I purchased a UV light. Depending on the wattage is how long it will take you. Mine is 34 watts. It takes about 30 mins start to finish.

There are two types of UV light...you want the short wave not the long wave. The long wave UV is for disco dancing and makes you look silly--the short wave kills bacteria. UVc kills bacteria--it is short wave.

Since I just started with Shellac nails I cannot say yes to led light I went with the recommended UV light. Sorry.

It is definitely LED. UV lamps are very hard for consumers to get at retail, ebay is probably your best source. It can be used with pretty much all of the other LED polishes out there (e.g. Sensationail, Sally Hansen).

Don't know. There is a UV light in the base but on mine it is always on. Pushing the button doesn't do anything.

YES, UV lights are better to dry nails. LED lights are only bright incandescent light. UV lights are ultra violet light.

Yes, there is one switch for the heat and one for the UV light. You can turn off the UV at night with its switch and keep the heat on. That is what I do and my beardie loves it. Just as a side note, my beardie loves it:)

Unknown. Because the UV is a feature that you can turn off or on, you don't have to use it. The unit itself does a very good job without the UV. You could try calling the manufacturer-their website doesn't mention the type of UV light, but customer service might.

It's a black light, like the kind that makes certain colors like white glow brightly, only it's not an incandescent bulb, it's 12 LED's which doesn't give off much heat energy, so batteries last a lot longer. UV-A is a color of wave length that is outside of our visible range. Mine arrived kinda silver/chrome in color.

Yes uv or led. I use Sensational my nailene from Wal-Mart. You can find them at Sally's for about 15.00. Or check here at Amazon. I would recommend LED. It works faster. Good luck. Hope this helps

No uv light in this model. My old filter that was a different style and brand had a uv light and I dont think it did any good

I have an LED light, but to answer your question Yes you have to have either LED or UV light to dry this product.

Yes, the UV light turns on only when it senses water flowing. Once the flow has stopped, the UV light turns off.

It uses LED lights. Not black light which, I believe is commonly a fluorescent tube and possibly also an incandescent bulb.
