hey guys, i have a soltron chill and the issue is my customers hate it. no one that tans in it gets any tan. my question is are the lamps old or is soltron chill a bad bed? i bought this bed and lamps had only 200 hrs. not sure if i should replace them or is it just that the bed sucks. thanks

do you have a buckbooster connected to this thing? Probably a voltage issue. I can see SOME people not into it but EVERYONE???

Make sure it's going at 230V + and put new lamps in the bed. Soltron is a good name, so I doubt it's a bed issue.

I have an Ergoline 500 evolution 43 lamp 3 500w facials i had a very similar problem. It is pretty much the same bed as the soltrom m-50 genie so it would be a couple steps below your bed but they both use the same factory oem lamps which did a whole lot of nothing for my customers as well. I installed heraeus magic sun 26/160 R's and this bed now kicks butt. It meters in the low 50's on a 5.0 solar meter it took the Te time to 8-9 mins but i still let people go 12 mins. Im in michigan people like to be red around here but at 8 mins you have great color also I run the bed at 236v 3 phase any lower we were losing output. To much higher internal components will not last as long and the machine could tend to get kinda glitchy.

I have the Soltron line of equipment. I have the Wave which is comparable to the Chill. I am using the factory recomended lamps and I am running 235-240V 3 phase. My customers have never complained about the color they get. The oem lamps are quite low uvb, so redness isn't an issue. I would like to try another lamp wth maybe a little more B. This would make my HP tan darker. I think I might try the heraeus magic suns my next lamp change.

meter it with the acrylics off then on.they had a bunch of bad acrylics i heard.

Yes they did!! All were bad. But you could tell by all the spider-webbing cracking through the center of it. All the way from top to bottom. They looked like cracked ice.

I had one that cracked. It looked awful, but didn't effect my meter readings.
They replaced it with a phone call.

Although I heard alot of other disties dropped the ball.

Yep, it took me over a year to get my 9 acryics replaced. My ditsey did absolutely nothing for me. All he would say was that the claim was denied, period!
