Tanning Bed Lamps
Tanning bed lamps are used in every tan bed or suntan lamp on the market. When you are purchasing a new or especially a used suntan bed, take a good look at the bulbs. Ensure that they are real tanning lamps and meet the FDA guidelines for health and safety. You should also consider how easy it is to get at the bulbs. Make sure that the lamps are easy to change when necessary. It is quite important and a lot cheaper if you can perform such simple maintenance yourself, if you buy a home tanning bed.
There are two completely different kinds of bulbs used in conventional and high pressure beds. Make sure you get the right sun bed bulbs for your sun bed, because you cannot use any bulbs you like. If you are buying replacement bulbs on the Internet, check the make and model of your existing lamps carefully. Make sure that the bulbs you are buying are suitable for your bed.
High Pressure Tanning Bulbs: high pressure beds have quartz-tube lamps in a multitude of sizes. The gases used in these lamps are pressurized to slightly higher than atmospheric pressure. The lamps in these beds are located in the top of the bed, so that you tan only from above. When you have tanned the skin on one side of your body for about 10-12 minutes, you turn over and tan the other side. The flat bed of these tanners is a great deal more comfortable than a regular tanning bed.
The biggest benefit of these lamps is the short time you have to spend on the bed. Since you tan faster, you need to spend less time in the salon, which means it works out cheaper. You can achieve the level of tan you require in about three weeks of three to five sessions each week. With a conventional bed, it would take you at least a month to acquire the same depth of colour. Maintaining your tan is much easier too. You only need two or three sessions each month to maintain the colour, compared with that many sessions every week on a conventional bed. Many of these lamps use UVA rays only, not UVB rays which are responsible for burning.
Conventional Tanning Bed Bulbs: Conventional, or low pressure sunbeds use long tube lamps that resemble regular fluorescent tubes. The lamps are situated above and below the tanning bed, which means that all the body areas are browned at the same time, without having to change positions during the tanning session.
Conventional beds use UVA and UVB rays in varying mixes. Some use both rays and others emit mostly UVA with some UVB rays. UVA rays are responsible for the (premature) ageing effects on the skin and UVB rays are the burning rays that cause skin burn when you are outside in the sun. It is very important to discover which kind of rays your tan bed's bulbs emit. You must ensure you replace your existing bulbs with lamps of the same specifications after about 1,000 hours of use.
Another consideration when selecting the type of bed you use at home or in the salon, is the tanning bed lotion you will use. Different lotions suit different sorts of beds. The owner of your tanning salon can help you choose a lotion that will work for the bed you are using and your skin type. No matter what bed you use, you should certainly always use a lotion or a cream, because they will nourish your skin and help you tan faster.
