These high-tech bulbs utilize the best technology to tan you comfortably and in safety.

Furthermore, there is a different lamp for every kind of skin too. The tanning bed industry produces different lamps for dark to light skin colours. On top of that, you can have a light tan, a golden tan, a bronze tan, or one the deepest of darkest tans you have ever seen. You can also change the kind of lamp, as your tan progresses, so that you can achieve any combination of quite amazing results.

A tanning bulb is like having your own source of sunlight in a tube. In fact, it is even better, because you are in control of it! Modern tanning bed lamps are made to the strictest standards and so are very safe. The sunbed industry and the government have set strict rules to ensure your safety. So, if you carefully follow the instructions supplied with the bulbs, you may feel confident that you will not be putting your health at stake in order to look like a Hollywood film star.

The UV rays they emit are well within prescribed safety limits to make sure you remain healthy and tanned. Furthermore, there are plenty of choices open to you, ranging from UVB and UVA combinations to straight UVA. It is your choice! So, why not get a little extra tan?

Sun bulbs are ultraviolet-emitting units that serve as the main component of the different types of tanning beds and booths on the market. Sun bed lamps have as their main use the enhancement of a cosmetic tan, although these bulbs also have a reputation for the successful treatment of eczema and psoriasis. The depth and colour of the tan produced, depends on the spectrum of light created by the tanning bulbs and the overwhelming majority of them give out more ultraviolet light than the sun does.

Nearly all sunbed lamps use a unit called a ‘ballast’ to regulate their power consumption. The ballast stabilizes the flow of electrical energy inside the lamp and is required in order to make sure that the bulbs take only the necessary amount of wattage that they need in order to function effectively.

There are different kinds of sunbed bulbs on sale and include reflector tanning bulbs and high output bulbs. Most bulbs fall into two main groups: high pressure and low pressure types. (Within the tanning industry, it is usual to refer to high pressure tanning lamps as bulbs and low pressure tanning bulbs as lamps). Both high and low pressure tanning bulbs require a lack of oxygen inside the tube.

High pressure tanning bulbs range in length from three to five inches and operate with 250 to 2,000 watt ballasts, 400 watt high pressure tanning bulbs are the most common. They are usually incorporated in the face tanning component of a sun bed. High pressure tanning bulbs are made of quartz glass and an additional specialized coating, which is essential to filter out potentially deadly UVC ultraviolet rays.

These HP tanning bulbs, containing mercury or argon, create ultraviolet light in high amounts. Handling high pressure tanning bulbs requires a great deal of care, because even a tiny amount of oil from your hands can cause the bulb to fail prematurely. High pressure tanning bulbs should be replaced after about 1,000 hours even though they will shine for up to ten times longer.

Low pressure tanning lamps are much like fluorescent lights, but the glass that makes up low pressure tanning bulbs naturally filters out UVC ultraviolet rays. Low pressure bulbs have a lifespan of six hundred to sixteen hundred hours of use.
