amazingtan · 02-09-2005, 06:33 PM

I have 2 salons & have ergolines & sundashes at both locations. I always re-lamp as soon as I detect a drop in the output of the lamps,probably at about 10% drop, or less. I know this is sooner than I need to but I want to totally avoid a customer noticing any change.
However, in the last month, I have changed out, (at different times the sundash 226's (120w), & the 240 (120w & 170w)lamps, & adjusted customer tan times. BUT, ALOMST every person, has been over exposed this time. I have NEVER had this problem before with these lamps, & still don't with other beds, using other lamps.
Has anyone else experienced the same thing?...
And can a lamp expert tell me, if there is any chance that a manufacturer could change the % of UVA/UVB, possibly to save money (eg, increasing the UVB still within a tolerance, to save on filtering???)
