You don't pull them out. You unscrew the screw in post that holds them all together and take them out and put them back the same way. Look at the post that holds them, it screws apart.

I think this is a flash light and I doubt you can use it for the Alpha to the extend you want it. I think you can use it "manually" but the chances for good results are limited. In case it is a lense Steven is right.

If you got the zoomable model the end cap slides back and forth. However I ordered from this seller and got a non-zoomable model. To tell which model you have grip it on the front textured part in front of the ridged part. If you can pull it smoothly out like a telescope you have a zoomable model. If you can unscrew it then its a non-zoomable knockoff.

I have a cheap/non-pro SensatioNail LED lamp and it works just fine with all brands of gelcolor polishes (orly, sensationail, etc.) - no need to adjust the curing time either (at least from my experience).

Hi Colleen, What kind of lamp are you using? I have the cheap Sensationail LED one and I only do 60 second per coat - 2 minutes seems highly unnecessary unless you're using a UV lamp (which I recommend you get rid of... UV lamps tan/age your hands, go for LED!). What brand are you using for the polish colour? If it's not OPI, that might be why you're having issues. A lot of brands aren't super compatible, especially if you're using a drugstore brand (non-pro) with OPI. I use the OPI base & top coats mostly with OPI colour and it always lasts until I remove it or it grows off. If you find yourself frequently wetting/drying your hands (e.g. a weekend spent at the beach frequently in and out of the water) you might find it starts peeling because that amount of expanding and shrinking of your nails is going to make it difficult for the polish to stay adhered. If you have naturally oily skin/nails it might just mean that gel polish isn't going to work for you. But if you've had gel polish done at a salon and it's worked just fine, then something in your technique isn't working. Finally, get the OPI bond-aid - if that doesn't help the gel polish stick to your nails (I don't use it because I find it makes it too hard to remove), then I think you're out of luck with gel polish. Try shellac (chips like crazy on me but I know it works for other people really well).

I emailed Silk'n Customer Support about the compatibility of cartridges between the Silk'n Epilsens and BellaLite units and they wrote:"The SensEpil and the BellaLite are the same device simply sold by different retailers - their cartridges are interchangeable."Based upon this, I'm ordering these. For some reason the lamps listed for BellaLite are more expensive. ??OK-- I received my order and tried the Silk'n lamps in my BellaLite (big box store brand) and they work fine. In addition to being lower cost (when I purchased mine), the 3-pack of lamps that I got have double the pulses each.

Buy the Lifeline product - as it is the original. TRX STOLE someone else's product without giving credit to the designer. Do a google search of Mike Mahler and TRX for more information on this. I would not want to support an unethical company like TRX.

Unfortunantely, for the CTO models it is a little vague. If you know you have the integrated graphics, this is the one that you'll need. if you have a discrete graphics, you'll be looking for the part number 45M2722 or 24.

I have a similar situation. Did you end up buying this product? If not, what do you use? I'm kind of at a loss as to what I should get :/

I don't know. I use developer and kaleidocolors powder to lighten, then use t18. Unsure of how it would perform under different circumstances. Sorry.

Nathan I don't have a answer for that. I took out mine and tried duplicating what you described; and I stopped about half in, it started to take an increasing amount of pressure to get it to move. I can ho that might have happened to you, since you had no idea what it was supposed to feel like. If you got it all the way in, you may not be able to get it out. I know by now you've seen the instructions on the end of battery housing. You might try adjusting the light so that is almost all the way back toward the top head strap. This is so you can hit the body of the light against the palm of your other hand. Grasp it tightly in your dominate hand, make sure the battery cap is off and pointing down. I was able to hit with a fair amount of force against my other hand. This may help dislodge the battery housing or get out enough so you can grab it with something. If that doesn't work you may have to try something that may damage the light itself. I'm sorry you've had this problem with otherwise excellent light. Good Luck!

These light modification components are made specifically for a speedlight, I don't know how they can be used on a studio light. It's an interesting question, perhaps w/ some creativity it's possible...A.D.

I use the Speedlite for my 7 D and have no exprrience with other Canon body. Sorry. It is great with my camera. No worry with underpower.

I had to have mine replaced twice and the third one broke as well. When I called up, they told me this device was defective ( I guess all of them) and they would exchange it for the silk n' flash lux with 120,000 flashes and credit my account for the difference. So yeah, it's probably best to just buy that. I did notice a difference after only one use though, so it's a good investment...maybe just not this model.

I copied this response from my initial review: it doesn`t attach securely to a Nikon SB-800 speedlight. I suspect that the head on the SB-800 is too small for this Gary Fong unit. No matter how much I tightened the velcro strap the unit would eventually slide off. If I moved the strap further down on the head to get more grip the buttons on the Speedlight were then blocked and the speedlight would not lock in the up position with the camera held vertically. I think this unit is meant for the larger flash heads like on the Nikon SB-910.

I use the pure acetone and put it on a cotton ball then wrap the tip of my finger with tin foil and let it do its thing for about 15-20 minutes then use an orange stick to scrap off the polish it should crackle up when you take the foil off, make sure that you take a buffing block to rough up the top surface of the polish so that the acetone will work. DONT use an emery board type file you may get carried away with filing and damage your nail bed. The buffing blocks sold at Sally supply or any drug store works great just rough enough to take of the top coat off. DONT get anything to abrasive or like I said you may damage your nail bed and believe me that is quite painful! I am assuming this is your first go at the gel polishes? Did you have them done or are you thinking about doing them yourself either way I'm sure you know the steps to applying the polish and really taking the polish off is no big deal just a little time consuming because you can only work on one hand at a time. I hope I helped answer your question if you have any more I would be happy to help.
