the first and second pluralities of discrete light sources are arranged to expose each of the plurality of nails to light from at least one of the first plurality of discrete light sources and from at least one of the second plurality of discrete light sources.

9. The nail lamp of claim 7 , wherein:

the array includes a plurality of clusters of the discrete light sources, and

at least one of the plurality of clusters includes at least one of the first plurality of discrete light sources and at least one of the second plurality of discrete light sources.

10. The nail lamp of claim 7 , wherein:

the discrete light sources further include a third plurality of discrete light sources that each has a third light wavelength profile,

at least one of the plurality of clusters includes at least one of the third plurality of discrete light sources, and

the third light wavelength profile has a maximum intensity at a wavelength that is greater than about 385 nm and less than about 425 nm.
