Frequently asked CosmoGlo questions

Is the CosmoGlo Light sturdy enough for busy environments?

Yes. Crafted from heavy-duty steel with an industrial-grade finish, the CosmoGlo is built for durability and stability. The weighted base plate is engineered to perfectly balance the upper halo, allowing it to glide into position effortlessly. When your service is finished, the light folds flat against the wall, keeping your workspace clear and professional.

Does the CosmoGlo include a way to film social media content?

Every CosmoGlo Light comes with a custom-designed, sleek phone clip. Positioned at the center of the halo, it provides a bird's-eye view for stable, high-definition overhead filming. This allows you to capture your craft in the best possible light without extra tripods or clunky attachments.

Is there a wall or ceiling attachment or other types of bases?

For base options, we offer a custom Wheel Kit that enhances mobility, adds stability, and raises your light's height. The wheel kit is easy to install and fits all models and generations of CosmoGlo Lights without replacing the whole base. However, we do offer the CosmoGlo Wall Light, which is an entirely new product in the CosmoGlo lineup. We are continually developing new products and refining current designs.

What type of lighting does CosmoGlo provide, and what are its heat and brightness levels?

  • Original models: one cool white tone.
  • XL models: three tones, cool white, warm tone, and natural daylight.
  • Wall modelthree tones, cool white, warm tone, and natural daylight.

The brightness of CosmoGlo Lights ranges from 4,000 to 10,000 lumens, equivalent to approximately 60 to 90 LED watts. CRI ratings range from 82.4 to 86.1, depending on the selected LED tone. Power boxes come with 4 outlet attachments and are rated for 100-240V.

The CosmoGlo XL has 3 main differences. The XL features an extra-large base to support the additional 12 inches in height, with a max height of 70 inches, and offers tri-tone LEDs in 3 temperatures (warm, daylight, and cool). The XL was designed for services that require standing, full-body accessibility, frequent repositioning around a treatment bed, and for artists working with clients in recliner chairs or adjustable beds.

The CosmoGlo Original offers a single crisp white tone and a flat base extending to 58 inches. The Original was designed for services performed on a flat massage-style table, such as eyelash extensions, facials, nails, and esthetics.

Both CosmoGlo Light models include our content clip for overhead filming. No need to purchase a clip separately.

Our phone clip is sleek, custom-designed, and made for use with CosmoGlo lights. It is positioned at the top of the halo in the center, offering a bird's-eye view of the client.

  • Dimensions: 4 in x 3 in (10.16 cm x 7.62 cm)
  • Compatibility: can secure most standard phone sizes

I am having a hard time assembling my light. Can you help me?

Please visit our Assembly page to download our User Guide and view tips and best practices for assembling your salon lighting furniture. For additional assistance, you can DM us on Instagram @thecosmoglolight or contact support via our Help Center.

How do I clean my CosmoGlo?

We recommend using lukewarm water with a drop of Dawn dish soap to clean your CosmoGlo. Make sure to dry the cleaned area completely. Another great solution is to cover your halo with a CosmoGlo Vinyl Accent, or to protect the parts of the light that are touched daily with a disposable barrier film. You can wipe your light down with a microfiber cloth to remove fingerprints or smudges. We do not recommend cleaning your CosmoGlo with harsh chemicals. Our lights are made of steel, and certain cleaning chemicals can damage metal.

Please visit our Care and Proper Use Guidelines page to learn more about properly caring for, using, and cleaning your CosmoGlo products.

Can I use it for my mobile services?

We do not recommend using the CosmoGlo Light for mobile services. It is designed to be stable and sturdy for a studio-type space, requires assembly, and is considered salon furniture. It is best to assemble it once and leave it in your studio as fully assembled lighting equipment. Should you need to move the lights, you can disassemble them and reassemble them in the new location. See our Assembly page to view our User Guide with assembly steps and troubleshooting.

Who created CosmoGlo?

Designed and created by a beauty professional herself, Mary Harcourt was a lash artist in the beauty industry and realized there was a serious lack of industry-specific lighting. She created CosmoGlo and patented the design worldwide. There is only 1 CosmoGlo. If it doesn't come directly from CosmoGlo, you are not getting a true CosmoGlo, the light that changed the game.

Aesthetically pleasing. CosmoGlo is the only light that elevates your studio look. No one likes clunky lights that take up space, have cords hanging down, and sit on a tripod like it's an afterthought to need light for your service. CosmoGlo has a flat base that slides under your treatment table and gives you a magazine-ready look you'll want to show off, and clients will compliment you on.

Defines you as a professional. Stand out from your competition. While they are trying to find the cheapest light to get by, CosmoGlo states that you have invested in professional equipment and are dedicated to providing your clients with the best service you can as a professional.

Sturdy and stable design. Made of heavy metal, the CosmoGlo has an industrial feel. Quality you will feel right out of the box. The weighted base plate is the key to it all. The physics allow the upper halo to balance perfectly, lighting up your workspace while being effortless to rotate and move into position so you can see every single detail with bright, shadowless light. When not in use, it folds flat against the wall effortlessly and stays out of the way. Great for making the bed or helping a client move around.
