Rechargeable LED nail lamp with light diffuser
A compact portable LED nail curing lamp has surface-mounted light emitting diode (SMD LED) lights. The lamp provides fast and consistent results producing high gloss finish and even curing of nail polish (e.g., UV-curable gel polish). The nail lamp has a micro USB port, which can be used to power the lamp using a wall adapter, car charger, laptop USB port, or mobile power bank for ultimate portability. In an implementation, a system includes a compact LED nail curing lamp and a mobile power battery pack. The system also includes a cable to connect the nail lamp and the mobile power battery pack. The battery pack provides portable power to the nail lamp so that the nail lamp can be used portably, such as during travel or on an airplane when a wall outlet is unavailable.
