Light Sources Aurora Sun 8.5%

Meltdbutta · 03-01-2002, 05:06 PM

I have an ESB tanning bed. I know that they take F71 bulbs. Will theses bulbs be able to go into my tanning bed?
Also, what is the 8.5% mean? Is it the UVA to UVB ratio?

I found them online for $13.50 each, is this a good price?

The lamps would fit into the ESB bed,however they are not listed as compatable.The bet should only be run from between 10 to 12 minutes with the 8.5 equator sun from light source.The 8.5 represents the UVB % of that lamp.I do have some in stock along with other lamps of similar type.Personally I would use something else but it is up to you.E-Mail me as I can do better than 13.50 on that lamp

What other bulb would you recommend? There are 410 hours of "burnage" on my bed. I know the higher UVA bulbs will make you tan faster...and the higher UVB makes u tan deeper and darker.. is there any dark bronzing lamps that will fit into the esb bed?
Thankyou...

Should I use the lamps with the built in reflectors, or should I use normal lamps. i am not sure, because I heard someone say that they put in reflector lamps in one of their tanning beds, and the people were getting long tan lines, because the bulbs were far apart from each other.....
Does anybody know what kind of bulbs the ESB bed uses, the ones in my bed are Golden Face, and extended Super RX....what are these bulbs?

Your wrong. Hi uvb will not make your tan deeper and darker. uva tans uvb burns.
Hi uvb will thicken your skin and make your tan fade, it will also blast apart the melanin in some tanners and make them never get as dark as they could!
You have bought into the LIE!
High uva makes your tan deep and dark, high uvb does not.

Thank you Chippp for clarifying that, now, any suggestions for a good bulb?

Chippp · 03-02-2002, 03:00 PM

any 5% uvb will tan well, not burn and tan anyone as dark as they can get.
Look for the best prices all brand last long and tan well. You can meter the lamps if you like but they are mostly the same, infact many different brands name are all made by the same few manufactures.

Chippp · 03-02-2002, 03:03 PM

the % in lamps is the uvb %. from 1% to 9 %
remember uva tans uvb burns.
you only need a very small uvb % to tan well.

I would not use a reflector lamp in the base of the bed,but it would do a good job in the top.If you like to relax and take your time use either a philips professional or professional-S.If you want to get in and get out quick use the philips advantage in the base and advantage reflector in the top.The lamps are around 5.8% but have a high amount of UVA, all lamps are competative in pricing.
