Okay i've got my Brisa lamp (Yipee), just wondering can i use it with other gels - glitter gels etc i was just gonna buy to practise with and mess around with for display purposes mostly? Will the brisa lamp cure other systems also ??

Yes, you can use it with other gels also.

Yes, you can use it with other gels also.

The Brisa UV Lamp may OVER cure other products that is not designed to cure. You could get bubbling, excess shrinkage etc.

On the whole, the Brisa UV Lamp is made for Brisa. There is so much info here on the site re UV lamps and using them with the right systems ... I suggest a search.

Just scroll down to his lamp & Bulb Article.

I have the Brisa lamps and I have pretty much used them with many different gels and I have never experienced ANY problems.

We all have allot to learn about gels and frankly this is the article to read and maybe more insight will be gained.

It is important that everyone who uses UV cured gels should read this article to honestly comprehend the REAL importance of using the right lamp with the right system.

Cool! Let's have a pdf competition! :green:

I love my Brisa lamp. I think it's the best on the market and part of that love is about its versatility. I've used it with a myriad of gels with no problem whatsoever - to me, a testimony to its brilliance.

However as Doug states very clearly ... many of the problems that technicians create when using the wrong lamp with their system are not visible to the naked eye (such as under-curing and ageing ) but if you feel you are having no problems then that is fine ... I just don't think it is good to be giving out information that may not work for everyone and to err on the side of caution is better.
