This is emblematic of the "anything goes" philosophy that still flickers in the tanning industry. It's not unexpected from Sun Ergoline. Going back decades, I find Sun as a company quite ignorant in installing reasonable and consistent
lamps, vis-a-vis a given max timer. To pick one example out of many, how about the 15 minute Classic 600 with the OEM quite hot UVB Genesis
lamps and the lower UVB Philips OEM version at 12 minutes. Makes no sense. You don't even need a meter. Just tan and observe.
The Genesis Light Sources lamp was reasonable in their Sundash/Genesis beds. It had plenty of UVB, more than most beds both 100 watt and 160 reflector at even shorter Te. It's the hottest lamp in my salon at level 1 and I have four levels. They're lasting an absurdly long time. If a company like Sun/ergoline changes lamp makers, the
lamps HAVE TO BE + or - 10% to the OEM lamp.
All responsible people in the tanning indsutry should protest these clearly out-of-compliance Cosmedico made
lamps directly to Sun/Ergoline. The are endangering the public and risking the reputation of conscientious salons. They won't listen to salon owners but they will listen to their peers.
