Lash Technician Light - Tips To Choose A Perfect One

A good lash technician light will protect the lash artist's vision in the long term. Here are a few things you should note before purchasing!

Introduction

It goes without saying that lash technician light is one of the essential components to doing lash extension perfectly. 

How can flawless lashes be produced without ideal lighting? That is why in the article, Lily Beauty Lash Supplier (LBLS) will share with you everything about eyelash extension lighting. You will have a chance to listen to seasoned lash artists sharing and talking about their lighting options and factors affecting their purchase decision.

Without further ado, let's get started.

Lash Technician Light - Tips To Choose A Perfect One

Lighting Design That Imitates Natural Light

Although there are many advantages of using natural light, it is rare for a lash technician to own a big salon with a large, lovely window directly next to the work area. So, natural light seems a luxury sometimes. Therefore, in this case, you want to look for light that can mimic natural light. Because even when you have a window, a cloud or a storm can hide the light occasionally, right?

Then, the first tip is you look for a device that creates a similar light as a natural one. Led light can be an option. 

Besides, you want to stay away from fluorescent lights as much as possible. In addition to the short-term effects of ocular strain, inflammation, and frequent squinting, research indicates that fluorescent bulbs are bad for your eyes over the long term. According to Australian experts, the prevalence of eye illnesses, particularly cataracts, can rise by 12% due to the Uv radiation that fluorescent lights generate.

Flexible Lighting That Can Be Adjusted

Flexibility is the second factor you want to look for in a lash artist lamp. A good lamp is the one you can alter the brightness mode and light intensity, not only the position you can put it. Flexible lighting, which can be adjusted, will be really helpful. When looking for lights, you should look for the brand with several brightness settings and something like the gooseneck lamp. These lamps will give you various options for changing the angle to let you observe the inner or outer corner more easily.

Filters may be included with some lash artist lights. These features are fantastic whether you work as a makeup professional, apply your makeup, or enjoy snapping selfies. However, filters are unnecessary for lash artists (maybe only when you take pictures of before-after lash extensions) and do not significantly improve lighting systems. So, it is just an option. You can ignore it if you already have the lens to easily take a beautiful picture.

Portable And Lightweight Lash Technician Light

Of course, it is always good to have an option, right? Therefore, who could deny a portable and lightweight lash extension light? The need for mobile artists is increasing in the growing market like the lash extension industry. Hence, having a light that can move around goes with you travelling. The light is portable and easy to pack will be a huge advantage for any lash technician.
