Actually you can use a lamp like the Philips Performance 100W, which is less than 1% UVB. Or there is also a Philips TL100W/10 which is even weaker.

These lamps will need about 30-45 session time to see color.

It is always good to have a lamp that has a nice balance of UVA & UVB, this will give the best results. The average salon uses a 2.6%-6.5% UVB in most of the entry level equipment. The Higher the % of UVB the shorter the session time, and the faster the results.
