Tanning Bulbs
Tanning bed bulbs are used in every sun bed or suntan lamp on the market. When you are buying a new or especially a used tanning bed, take a good look at the bulbs. Ensure that they are proper tanning lamps and meet the FDA guidelines for health and safety. You should also consider how easy it is to get at the lamps. Be sure that the bulbs are easy to change when the time comes. It is quite important and a lot cheaper if you can perform such simple maintenance yourself, if you have a home tanning bed.
There are different sorts of lamps used in conventional and high pressure beds. Make sure you buy the right tanning bed lamps for your bed, because they are not interchangeable. If you are purchasing replacement bulbs on the Internet, check the make and model of your existing bulbs carefully. Make sure that the bulbs you are buying are made for your bed.
High Pressure Tanning Bulbs: high pressure beds have quartz-tube lamps in a multitude of sizes. The gases used in these bulbs are pressurized to slightly higher than atmospheric pressure. The bulbs in these beds are located in the canopy 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 sun bed.
The biggest advantage of these lamps is the amount of time you have to spend on the sun bed. Because you tan more quickly, 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 a week. However, with a conventional bed, it would take you at least a month to acquire the same depth of colour. Maintaining your tan is a lot easier too. You only need two or three sessions a month to maintain the colour, compared with four times that many sessions on a conventional bed. Many of these bulbs use UVA rays only, not UVB rays which are responsible for burning.
Conventional Sun Bed Bulbs: Conventional, or low pressure beds use long tube lamps that look like household fluorescent tubes. The lamps are situated above and below the bed of the sun bed, which means that all the body parts are tanned at the same time, without the need to change positions during the session.
Low pressure 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 determine which sort of rays your sun bed's bulbs emit. You must ensure you replace your existing bulbs with bulbs 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 types of beds. The owner of your tanning salon will be able to 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.
