I'm trying to gain more information on LED lamps, but seem to be hitting a brick wall. The longer they have been around, the more they seem to improve or so it appears.
If you take the Harmomy LED lamps they have increased in power from the 6g, the 9g and now the 18g. The new Gel II lamp is 40g.
A lot of systems say cure in a UV or LED lamp and for how long, but those who invested in an earlier LED, are they now useless? I'm finding the whole 'g' thing confusing. I have compared the NH 18g and Gel II 40g, am I right in thinking the rating is related to the wattage x how many bulbs = g rating?
The reason I ask is that I was in Salon Services looking at the new Gelish colours and chatting with the girl about LED curing and how I longed to go down that route but the 18g was so expensive. She then went and got one of the older (9g I think) Harmony LED lamps that was on sale, but I immediately thought that I didn't want it because it was old, but I have no idea what I based that on apart from fear that it wouldn't be up to the job.
Is there anyone that can explain the different ratings and if the old ones still cure the systems even though they are completely different in power output?
Thanks
