Tanning bed lamps and tanning bed
replacement bulbs are available with different UVA and UVB blends. You
get the good tanning effect when the bed is equipped with the best
quality tanning lamps. With the indoor tanning lamps, you can have the
facility of tanning in a controlled atmosphere. You can get the tan of
your choice to the extent you want. No possibility of uneven tanning is
here as in the case of tanning under the hot sun.
The most common type of tanning lamp you have is a 100 watt, F 71
type with bi-pin connectors on the ends. From cap to cap its length is
69 3/8”. For the optimum performance of the lamps, you need to replace
your starters once in three years or along with the lamp replacement. If
your lamps are slow to fire completely up, do replace the starters.
You
are expected to know correctly, when you need to change your lamps,
using a UV Light Meter. Your guess work with regard to the life of the
lamp comes to an end and the device that read in UV light will give you
correct hints of the declining or reduced lamp output. With this meter
you can record the meter reading when the new lamps are installed and
thereafter, after a fixed period you see the changed reading. The normal
life of a good lamp is 1000 hours and replacement is recommended, when
the output is 70% of the original value.
The experience of the
sunburn is very painful and indoor tanning beds with good tanning lamps
provide the correct answer. Sunburn has a most unwanted effect on the
skin. It encourages aging of the skin and skin cancer.
Tanning
should not exceed the ability of the body’s protective pigment, melanin
to protect the skin. During suntan the sunrays destroys the cells in the
outer layer of the skin, in the process the tiny blood vessels
underneath are destroyed. Further down, it destroys skin’s layers and
damage elastic fibers in the skin. Repeated overexposure leads to
wrinkled skin.
The idea of availing the facility of indoor
tanning with good tanning beds that have high quality tanning lamps is
that you can have the tanning benefit as per your choice and to the
extent you want.
You have the choice of using the tanning bulbs
to the level of intensity desired by you.
