Abstract

A nail lamp is configured to cure light-curable nail product on a user's nail. The lamp includes a base and a support with discrete light sources that each may emit with the same or different light wavelength profiles, and each may emit continuously or with the same or different pulsing functions. The lamp also includes source reflectors and a ring reflector. The different wavelength profiles are configured to, in combination, cure a light-curable nail product. The pulsing function is used to cure the nail product more efficiently. The source reflectors and ring reflector are used to target specific areas of the nail. A space is disposed between the base and the support and is sized to accommodate therein the nails of an appendage of a user so as to expose the user's nails to light from the discrete light sources.

Claims (41)

1. A nail lamp comprising:

a support; and

a plurality of light sources disposed on the support, wherein

each light source is structured to produce light to cure a light-curable nail product and each light source includes a plurality of semiconductor LEDs on a single circuit board, with at least one of the semiconductor LEDs having a peak electromagnetic emission intensity at a first wavelength in a range from about 365 nm to about 425 nm, and with at least one other of the semiconductor LEDs having a peak electromagnetic emission intensity at a second wavelength in a range from about 365 nm to about 425 nm, the second wavelength being different from the first wavelength; and

a controller coupled to the light sources, wherein the each light source is pulsable between a first intensity and a second intensity, and wherein the controller is configured to control automatic pulsing of each light source between the first intensity and the second intensity.

2. The nail lamp according to claim 1 ,

wherein the first wavelength is in a range from about 365 nm to about 385 nm, and

wherein the second wavelength is in a range from about 395 to about 425 nm.

3. The nail lamp according to claim 1 ,

wherein the first wavelength is in a range from about 380 nm to about 390 nm, and

wherein the second wavelength is in a range from about 395 to about 425 nm.

4. A nail lamp comprising:

a support;

a space located below the support, the space configured for a user to insert at least a single nail;

two or more arrays of light sources mounted on the support including;

a first array of light sources oriented to direct light downward onto the at least a single nail and including a first plurality semiconductor chips, wherein;

at least one of the first plurality of semiconductor chips has a peak electromagnetic emission intensity at a first wavelength in a range from 360 nm to 440 nm, at least one other of the first plurality of semiconductor chips has a peak electromagnetic emission intensity at a second wavelength in a range from 360 nm to 475 nm, the second wavelength being different from the first wavelength and;

a second array of light sources oriented to direct light onto the at least a single nail, said second array of light sources oriented at an angle relative to the first array of light sources and including a second plurality of semiconductor chips, wherein;

at least one of the second plurality of semiconductor chips has a peak electromagnetic emission intensity at a third wavelength in a range from 360 nm to 475 nm, and with at least one other of the second plurality of semiconductor chips has a peak electromagnetic emission intensity at a fourth wavelength in a range from 360 nm to 440 nm, the fourth wavelength being different from the third wavelength.

5. The nail lamp of claim 4 ,

wherein the first and third wavelengths are in the range from 360 nm to 390 nm and,

the second and fourth wavelengths are in the range from 400 nm to 430 nm.

6. The nail lamp of claim 4 wherein,

the first wavelength is equal to the third wavelength and the second wavelength is equal to the fourth wavelength.

7. The nail lamp of claim 4 wherein,

the second array is at an angle of about 45 degrees relative to the first array.

8. The nail lamp of claim 4 wherein,

the second array is at an angle of about 60 degrees relative to the first array.

9. The nail lamp of claim 4 further comprising,

a third array of light sources oriented to direct light onto the at least a single nail and,

said third array of light sources oriented at an angle relative to both the first array of light sources and the second array of light sources and,

said third array of light sources including a third plurality of semiconductor chips wherein;

at least one of the semiconductor chips has a peak electromagnetic emission intensity at a fifth wavelength in a range from 360 nm to 440 nm, and at least one other of the semiconductor chips has a peak electromagnetic emission intensity at a sixth wavelength in a range from 360 nm to 475 nm, the sixth wavelength being different from the fifth wavelength.

10. The nail lamp of claim 9 wherein the fifth wavelength is in the range from 360 nm to 390 nm and the sixth wavelength is in the range from 400 nm to 430 nm.

11. The nail lamp of claim 4 wherein the space is configured for a user to insert at least five nails of a hand or a foot.

12. The nail lamp of claim 4 wherein the second array of light sources is oriented to direct light onto a thumb of either a left hand or a right hand of a user.

13. The nail lamp of claim 9 wherein the third array of light sources is oriented to direct light onto a thumb of the other of the left hand or the right hand of a user.

14. The nail lamp of claim 4 wherein the light of the first wavelength in combination with the light of the second wavelength cures a light curable nail product more rapidly than the light of only the first wavelength or the light of only the second wavelength.

15. The nail lamp of claim 4 wherein the light of the third wavelength in combination with the light of the fourth wavelength cures a light curable nail product more rapidly than the light of only the third wavelength or the light of only the fourth wavelength.

16. The nail lamp of claim 9 wherein the light of the fifth wavelength in combination with the light of the sixth wavelength is able to cure a light curable nail product more rapidly than the light of only the fifth wavelength or the light of only the sixth wavelength.

17. The nail lamp of claim 4 wherein the space is open to the ambient environment at both the front and the rear of the space.
