Tanning Bed Bulbs
Tanning bed lamps, as used in up-market tanning beds, are a big part of the secret to the Hollywood suntan. You can get any type of tan you want with the wide range of lamps available on the market for tanning beds. There are deep-tanning lamps, bronzing bulbs, face lamps and plenty of others besides. These high-tech bulbs employ the latest technology to tan you comfortably and in safety.
Furthermore, there are different bulbs for every kind of skin too. The tanning bed industry produces different bulbs for dark to light skin colours. Besides that, you can choose to have a light tan, a golden tan, a bronze tan, or the deepest, darkest tan anyone has ever seen. You can even change the kind of bulb, as your tan deepens, so that you can achieve all kinds of quite stunning results.
A tanning lamp is like having your own source of sunlight in a bottle. 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 tanning industry and the government have implemented strict rules to ensure your safety. So, if you carefully follow the instructions supplied with the lamps, you may feel confident that you will not be putting your health at risk in order to look like a Hollywood film star.
The UV rays that they produce are well below the proscribed safety limits to ensure you stay healthy and tanned. Furthermore, there are plenty of choices open to you, ranging from UVB and UVA combinations to just UVA. It is simply up to you. So, why not give the sun a helping hand?
Sun bulbs are ultraviolet-emitting units that act as the primary element of the different kinds of tanning beds and booths on the market. Tanning 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 type of the tan produced, depends on the spectrum of light emitted by the tanning bulbs and the vast majority of them give out more ultraviolet light than the sun does.
Practically all sunbed bulbs use a device called a ‘ballast’ to regulate their power consumption. The ballast stabilizes the flow of electrical energy inside the lamp and is needed 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 various kinds of sunbed lamps on the market including reflector sunbed lamps and high output lamps. The majority of lamps fall into two main categories: 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 have a lack of oxygen in its housing.
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 included 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 necessary to filter out potentially deadly UVC ultraviolet rays.
HP tanning bulbs contain a small amount of mercury or argon and create ultraviolet light in high concentration. The handling of high pressure tanning bulbs should be carried out with a great deal of care and never with naked hands, because even a tiny amount of oil from your hands can cause the bulb to fail prematurely or even crack and the resultant spillage of mercury is potentially dangerous. High pressure tanning bulbs should be replaced after about 1,000 hours even though they will continue to produce light for up to 10,00 hours
Low pressure tanning lamps are very similar to normal fluorescent tubes, but the glass tube of low pressure tanning bulbs naturally filters out the harmful UVC ultraviolet rays. Low pressure bulbs have a useful lifespan of between 600 and 1,600 hours with 1,000 hours being the usual again.
