Re: Tanses

Engfant, most tanning beds are designed to run at between 220 VAC and 230 VAC. While most of these beds get better results when the no-load input voltage is closer to at least 235 VAC, the extra heat and power load stresses the components. That means shorter component life, overheating of equipment, more likely part meltdowns, etc.

Equipment that has robust enough internal wiring and cooling, and capacitors, and connectors, and ballast, etc, etc, can run at 240 VAC and take advantage of the higher output intensity from the lamps cause by the higher input voltage.
