KUPA GLO vs. DUET: Two Lamps, Two Purposes

ARTICLE BY KUPA | PUBLISHED IN 2025

When it comes to curing gels, KUPA offers two innovative lighting solutions: the MANIPro GLO Lamp and the MANIPro DUET Lamp. While they share the same dedication to quality and efficiency, each was designed for a very different role in the nail service process.

The GLO Lamp – Full Cure Powerhouse

The GLO lamp is a professional curing lamp, built specifically to cure all light-cured gel products. With preset timer buttons, you can control how long your client’s hand remains inside for a complete, thorough cure. Whether working with gel polish, builder gel, or finishing glosses, the GLO ensures consistent results every time. It’s reliable, efficient, and essential for full curing of an entire hand or foot.

The DUET Lamp – Cordless Dual-Purpose Flexibility

The DUET, on the other hand, functions primarily as a cordless table lamp for task lighting but transforms into a curing lamp when its sensor is activated. With three brightness levels, it provides perfect illumination for your workspace, and its cordless design means it can easily be moved from your table to a pedicure station, or anywhere else you need light. When applying KUPA Full Coverage Soft Gel Tips, the DUET makes the process seamless. Simply hold each tip in place while the DUET flash cures the gel underneath, locking it securely without needing your client to move.

Why Use Both?

Together, the GLO and DUET create the ultimate pair for nail professionals. The DUET offers portable, adjustable lighting and quick flash cures, while the GLO delivers the powerful, complete cure required for long-lasting results. This combination makes your salon workflow smoother, faster, and more efficient, keeping clients comfortable and nails flawless.
