Nail lamp
A nail lamp is configured to cure light-curable nail product on a user's nails. The lamp includes an array of discrete light sources with different light wavelength profiles. The different wavelength profiles are configured to, in combination, cure a light-curable nail product. A space is disposed beneath the array 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 array. The space is substantially open to the ambient environment to the front, rear, left, right, and top of the space, thereby providing an open architecture.
1. A nail lamp comprising:
an array of discrete light sources configured to cure light-curable nail products,
a treatment space disposed beneath the array, the treatment space being sized to accommodate at least one hand or one foot of a user and the treatment space defined by a side to side direction, a front to back direction and a height direction wherein,
each of said discrete light sources are composed of one or more LED light sources oriented to focus light onto a single nail on the at least one hand or one foot of a user and reduce light exposure of the hand or foot beyond the single nail and;
the array of discrete light sources consists of;
a first light source positioned closest to the front of the lamp and,
a second light source and a third light source positioned closer to the rear of the lamp than the first light source and,
a fourth and a fifth light sources positioned closer to the rear of the lamp than the second and third light sources.
2. The nail lamp of claim 1 wherein;
the first light source of said array of discrete light sources is positioned to focus light onto a middle finger nail of the user,
the second light source of said array of discrete light sources is positioned to focus light onto an index finger nail of a user,
the third light source of said array of discrete light sources is positioned to focus light onto a ring finger nail of a user,
the fourth and a fifth light sources of said array of discrete light sources is positioned to focus light onto respectively the thumb nail and the pinky nail of either the left hand or the right hand of a user.
3. The nail lamp of claim 2 wherein the array of discrete light sources further consists of;
a sixth and a seventh light source positioned to focus light onto respectively the thumb nail and the pinky nail of the other of the left hand or the right hand of a user.
4. The nail lamp of claim 1 wherein,
the second light source is positioned to the left side of the first light source and the third light source is to the right of the first light source and,
the fourth light source is positioned to the left of the second light source and the fifth light source is positioned to the right of the third light source.
5. The nail lamp of claim 4 wherein,
the first, second and third light sources project light downward in the vertical direction.
6. The nail lamp of claim 5 wherein,
the fourth or the fifth light source are oriented at an angle of 60 degrees relative to the first, second and third light sources to more perpendicularly focus light towards and onto the users thumb nail.
7. The nail lamp of claim 5 wherein,
the fourth or the fifth light source are oriented at an angle of 45 degrees relative to the first, second and third light sources to more perpendicularly focuslight towards and onto the users thumb.
8. The nail lamp of claim 5 wherein,
the fourth or the fifth light source are oriented at an angle of 90 degrees relative to the first, second and third light sources to more perpendicularly focus light towards and onto the users thumb.
9. The nail lamp of claim 1 wherein each of said discrete light sources comprises a cluster of light sources.
