Am looking at changing from uv to led. Just wondered if someone could give me a bit more info, what wattage do I need? How often do bulbs need to be changed?

You won't be changing from UV to LED because the LED bulbs you will be buying will also have to be UV or your gel wouldn't cure.

LED is a different kind of BULB, not a different kind of light! You don't just buy the bulbs and stick them into your existing lamp, and if your gel is not formulated to be cured with LED bulbs then you shouldn't be playing around with the chemistry.

Use the kind of bulb and lamp that your gel manufacturer recommends, to be sure you are safe and getting a ful cure.

If you use Gelish and the lamp you want is from Nail Harmony then it will be the right lamp, simples!

As to anything else you want to know about lamps, then put the word lamp in the advanced search on here and you will find at least a thousand threads to read which will give you all the information you need, and even more information you don't need :lol: :zzz:
