Gene: Your statements are incorrect. When a bed or booth is certified, the measurements are taken at the acrylic or protective grid. The measurements derived are the point when the skin starts to develop a sunburn (4 Med). This point becomes the maximum timer interval. This information is recorded on the actual warning label for that machine with the lamp type that it was tested and registered with. In no way is this information made up or generated for "marketing hype". Tanning eqipment is classified as medical equipment and cannot be legally sold or operated commercially without an irradiance test performed and the results filed with the FDA. To say that manufacturers think that the FDA and salon owners are IDIOTS is very ignorant on your part. Manufacturers have to follow strict guidelines before making equipment available to the public. There are a few variables that will reduce the performance of your machine and they are voltage, temperature, and maintainance of lamps.
