OK, so i've spent 2 weeks trying to decide which lamp to buy for my minx application. scrolling through ebay and google looking for cheaper alternatives......finally a few days ago i decided enough was enough! Called sweet squared and ordered the one they have before i could change my mind. The best decision i have ever made!!! Came the next day and i got to work, it is absolutely fab!! So sturdy, flexible and professional looking. I now realise that the cheaper alternatives, as good as they may be, would make the job sooooo much harder. The one from S2 is fab, has a handle for easy movement, super heat which is adjustable and the bulb is clear so no freaky outer space moments. For anyone else in the same predicament as me, go for the main one, you won't regret it. Yes, its big and you will thing 'blimey' when u open the box but that is soon forgotten when you've done first set. my guinea pig for my first set even commented how professional looking the lamp was. Go for it guys!!!

ps - loving minx, am addicted, off to order lots more designs xxx
