Petition to Address Safety Concerns with Light Elegance Gen 3 Dot Lamps

For over a year, numerous users have reported issues with curing gels using Light Elegance's Gen 3 Dot lamps. These issues include improper curing, where gels remain undercured, particularly on the underside of test swatches. Undercured gels pose serious health risks, potentially leading to lifelong allergies. These allergies can prevent individuals from receiving or performing nail services, and, more alarmingly, may affect one's ability to undergo certain medical procedures such as joint replacements or dental work. Everyday products like household cleaners may also become problematic.

This issue impacts both professional nail technicians and at-home users alike. Nail techs risk exposing clients to contact dermatitis (allergic reactions) and may suffer reputational or financial damage. Similarly, DIY users are at risk of experiencing these harmful reactions at home.

Light Elegance is aware of the problem, and testing performed by Light Elegance on their lamps has shown inconsistent results regarding irradiance and emittance, both of which are crucial for proper curing. Despite the company positioning itself as a safer alternative to other brands, and making claims in YouTube videos and on social media that their lamp can cure a wide range of gel products, they have failed to ensure their lamps consistently and safely cure their own gels.

Until these safety concerns are adequately addressed, we can no longer recommend Light Elegance lamps for safe use.

I am seeking enough signatures to send this petition directly to Jim McConnell, founder and owner of Light Elegance in Redmond, Oregon. It’s time to hold companies accountable for the safety of the products they sell.
