Jess:Texas is a regulated state and so you must install "compatible" lamps in order to continue operating a tanning salon.I will assume that the "2.6" lamps you mentioned are the lamps that came with the sunbed you are using. If that is the case, they will reach 4.0 MED in no less than 27 minutes and no more than 33 minutes. (+ or - 10% from the original.) The 2.6 number you mention probably means that they are 2.6% UVB.Therefore, going to a 6.5% UVB lamp would not be compatible. Those lamps would probably reach 4.0 MED in 18 - 22 minutes.There are companies out there that will "recertify" your sunbeds for shorter exposure times but I do not recommend this course of action.Please give me a call (888) 994-3828 (toll free) if you have questions.Don
