Cosmetic Lamps

How to choose a beauty lamp

• With or without a magnifier - a 3D or 5D magnifier enlarges the work area for eyelash treatments, permanent makeup, and podiatry; a work lamp without a magnifier illuminates manicure and treatment stations.
• Mounting - a clamp for a desk or table, a wheeled stand for a treatment bed or chair, or a tabletop mount available separately.
• Light - SMD LED diodes; some models let you adjust the brightness and color temperature (warm to cool), making it easier to choose nail polish and pigment colors.
• Arm - articulated or spring-loaded; check the arm's reach to make sure the lamp extends over the chair.
• Lens - diameter and magnification are listed on the product page; a larger lens makes it more comfortable to work with both eyes.

What it's useful for

For manicure salons, eyelash styling studios, permanent makeup studios, beauty and podiatry clinics, and tattoo studios.

Frequently asked questions

• 3D or 5D? 5D provides greater magnification and requires working closer to the lens; 3D allows you to work at a greater distance. 5D is more commonly chosen for eyelash treatments and permanent makeup, while 3D is more common for manicures.
• Does the lamp get hot? LED diodes produce very little heat, so you can work right under the lamp.
• Stand or clamp? A clamp is for working at a desk, while a stand is for a chair or treatment bed. Stands are available separately, so you can move the lamp.
