I think I gave you a pretty comprehensive answer on your previous thread regarding UV Lamps.  There is no  one lamp that will work with every system as I explained.  Although there are lamps that will work with more than one system (especailly at the cheap end or consumer end of the market).


Also as I explained, wattage has nothing  to do with the amount of UV output/intensity of the bulb, but only  the power  it takes to run the bulb.


There are ways of trying out different systems without necessarily buying the lamp.  ie a class!


Not any uv lamp such as a daylight lamp will cure gel.  A proper uvlamp for curing nail gels will come with the appropriate bulb in the lamp and  you just  replace with that same bulb from your distributor.


It is my understanding that you do not wish to purchase a reccommended uv lamp at 70.00 but wish to buy an ordinary uvlight and stick a bulb in it and cure your gels.  You will not be able to do it  ... if this was a safe and correct option then we would all be doing it.  It is not safe to cure gels in this way and gels that are not completely cured are a chemical hazard to you.


If you want a cheap 'n cheerful option to buying professional gels, then Argos and Boots both do consumer-type systems to play with.  If you are wanting to offer gels professionally then I suggest you rely on the expert information given to you via this website and do a class with a good quality gel system which will come with the appropriate uvlamp for that system.
