With a voltmeter.

Two paper clips will work too. Just Kidding....

I absolutely hate reflector lamps the ones I used were voltarc and the way they went in was strange, the dark side and the lighted side both on top, you could see that each lamp wasn't lit up on one side. Didn't tan good at all. So those lasted maybe 1 month and I replaced them!

Get Cosmolux in that unit. Voltarc are junk and the bed was designed for use with reflector lamps. This is the same bed as the Sontegra Baby X. Cosmolux VHR 9K90. If you are using non reflector lamps it will not tan at 12 minues.

Those were defects and Voltarc suck. Don't judge reflector lamps by those that you had.

O.K. Voltage checked, getting 230, changed acrylic, still not tanning .

Oh yea, the manual says not to use reflectors on the bench.

Unless you are using cosmedico or LSI then yes, the bed won't tan.

I am sorry, I am fairly new (3 months), and do not understand everything you all talk about. I really appreciate everyones help, could you help me with the difference between the Wolf meridian bronzing bulbs and the cosmedico or LSI that you have suggested.
