Ginger
How did you get a 10 minute tanses all I have seen are 8 or 7 minute and you can't just change the time it has to be by the manufacture,if you read my post I was saying it should be a 12 minute bed by meter standards it is only a 7 minute by marketing standards.

corvette, I have 2 Tanses T-32 VHR's in service and they came as 10 minute exposure units. So Tanses does provide a 10 minute bed if that's what you want.

They still need more time for exposurelet me give my example.I have a royalsun with 44-160watt lamps and 6-500watt facials tan time 15minutes by manufacture,tanses 44-160watt no facials same lamps and ballasts as above bed 8-minute exposure by manufacture both beds meter the same ,MARKETING MARKETING MARKETING.

Mori you are right on the bullseye on this one. Be thankfull the Med scale wasn't based on a skin type 1... you'd be in that bed so long you'd have no time to go fishing...(lets do it,ha ha). The governing fact unfortunatly is your skin type 4 and my skin type 3 are governed by the same (play it safer) type 2 model and therefore no accounting for the difference in exposure that each of our individual skins can withstand.
Such an inexact science that it is, skin typing leaves a lot to be desired. It will be interresting to see if technology in the form of RGB instruments such as the new pocket spec will someday make way for skin type measuring as apposed to our current skin type calculating questionaire forms. On that day perhaps a case for exposure times to be expressed in accordance with an individuals current SPF factor will gain scientific support.

bsmart,
Is the U 32 the same design as T32,except that the ballasts are in a tray underneath with the U32 or are there other differences between the 2 beds? Thanks

Mori · 11-01-2002, 08:15 AM

T-32 is wider and less expensive (NOT CHEAPER !).

Time factors are not set by the manufacturer, they are set by FDA. If one bed has a lower time factor it is because it reaches the 4 MEDs faster. Is it because of the lamps used, or the distance of the lamps from the tanner ? Either or, it's the gov't body that assigns the exposure time, not the manufacturer.

Say what you want ,my beds meter the same and they run the same lamps and same ballasts but they are two different manufactures and way different exposure times,talk to big Don about this, these bed manufactures can manipulate the way these beds are tested .MARKETING,MARKETING,MARKETING

You need some Canadians down there to teach you how to govern yourselves. (NOT)

To all who responded to my initial posting, thanks for your input. Dave

TSDAVE, sorry for the late reply. As Mori said the Tanses beds are very much alike. Same lamps different ballast location as mentioned. Little different cooling configuration. The U32 is a slightly tighter packaged lamp arrangement. The bench and canopy are 1 inch wider in the T32. The difference between these and the Royal Sun is the distance of from the lamps on the canopy. The canopy of the Tanses comes to within about 4 or 5 inches of a 'normal' size person when the canopy is down. The canopy of the Royal Sun is more rounded and farther away from the body.
