Is it safe? An excellent question! The low energy UVA-LED lights are safe and can be used indoors in a shop environment or onsite for curing Clean Armor products. No heavy gloves or sun screen. From small shop to onsite to large shop and manufacturing, we supply the highest quality lights that are engineered and tested to perform consistently and produce full cure with maximum efficiency. Never look directly into the cure lights! Just as you would never look directly into the sun-It is a really bad idea! Safe does not mean harmless! Use a quality pair of safety glasses that offer UV protection when operating the cure light(s). Most poly-carbonate lens have a high level of UV protection, and you can find UV specific protection information published by the manufacture of the safety glasses.

Two minutes-This stuff cures faster or slower than that! If this is you experience, you may want to use a timer to get a full cure. Two minutes, or longer is needed for full cure. If the lights are too close, it can cure the product too fast and actually "damage" the finishes appearance. The strength of your lights and the distance from the surface will need to be considered for figuring your curing times. A weaker light for a longer time may work just fine. Yes, you can put it in direct sun light to cure also, it works great! The sun has every spectrum of UV light and plenty of power to cure the finishes.
