The efficacy of an indoor tanning session
depends a lot on the tanning lamps used. The lamps are the main source
of tanning in the tanning beds that provide the accurate amount of UV
rays. The UV rays stimulate the melanin cells for the production of
melanin.
The amplitude of UV rays by the lamps
help in the quality tan. The lamps are the most important equipment in a
tanning booth. That's why its essential to know for sure certain facts
about the lamps. There are numerous kinds of tanning bulbs but the
features make them extraordinary. Do you know how these bulbs produce
the ultraviolet radiations?
The lamps emit UV rays due to the
collision of the electrons from the electrode and the electrons from the
mercury atom. The settling of the mercury electrons from excited state
to normal state produces the radiations. The UV radiations then pass the
phosphorus coated glass and give out the accurate level needed for the
tanning.
So before buying a tanning bed or a facial tanner,
consider following facts about the lamps:
1.Prefer those bulbs
with lower UVB outlet, because they will create a darker tan that will
last long. A higher UVB bulb though tans faster but the tan is not so
darker.
2.See that the beds are equipped with bronzing bulbs
having a lower level of UVB. Bronzing bulbs are different from the 'hot'
bulbs in the sense that the 'hot' tanning bulbs have a higher level of
UVB and less UVA.
3.Generally the tanning bed bulbs are approved
for 1000 hours for use, but it will be better if you change them after
600-800 hours of use for good results.
For maximizing the life of
your tanning bulbs make sure the beds are getting appropriate amount of
voltage. Check the efficiency of cooling system fans because too much of
heat reduces the quality of the lamp.
