Is a 220 watt tanning lamp going to give you that much more performance compared to current 200 watt
lamps ? Sure, they consume more energy but, do they have that much more output. A 160 watt lamp consumes 60% more energy than a 100 watt lamp but only has 30% more output. I,m not saying they won't tan you but,can you justify the cost involved with the initial price of the
lamps? The potential high maintenence and extra cooling requirements? Can you get a lamp like that close enough to the acrylic and to your body without warping the acrylic because of the extra radiant heat? If you have to limit acrylic / lamp proximity will it still out perform a 200 watt or even a160 watt lamp? The only reason I ask that is because I see many 200 watt systems with warped and discolored acrylics early in their life and that makes me wonder if the 220 watt systems might necessitate even closer acrylic replacement intervals.And just in case you're wondering the units in mention are being cooled sufficiantly. Just a thought.
