I'm trying to relamp my Dr. Kern 32/0 CX strectch beds which take the 120 Watt 2 Meter lamps, and are currently done in Radience lamps. I'm not happy nor displeased with the Radience lamps, but would like to try something else. However, I'm having a hard time finding good manufacturers who make 79" lamps. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

The only other that come in 79'' I found were the Light Source Signature Series w/ 3% UVB, but I've seen them rated for 1000 hours on some sites and only 600 hours on others. Anyone use these or know their life for sure?

Thanks for help in advance.

79" is 180 watt 2 meter. Cosmolux 9K90.

These beds are have 120 watt lamps with 100 watt choke ballast, the 9k90's will not work. There aren't many choices with the 2m lamps in the market in the 120 watt range. The signature series should do fine for you.

Thanks, THought 120 was a typo.

Check with Sarge I think they are what he uses to relamp these beds...

Philips has a lamp also called the swift 802-R 120W . The lamp is a 2.0 meter and has a shorter exposure than the cosmo. You can get them in the 13.50 range.

what's the tan time on this bed.

It's a 20 min unit, VLR's work in a non-regulated state less TE time but still are used quite often in the Stretch 32CX. If you have facials in this unit, it takes (22) 2.0 meter lamps and (10) 71" inch lamps. All have 100 watt choke ballast though.
