Buying new bulbs

hitsbombs1 · 10-26-2006, 08:04 PM

Hi all. Don't post much, but I'm getting ready to buy new bulbs so I thought I'd give it a shot. Right now, I'm considering purchasing LSI. 2.6 bulbs, and combining them with LSI 5.0 bulbs to give me a good solid base tan. I have a 30 minute 28 bulb V.I.P gold bed. I was just wondering if you guys had any input on this possible combination of bulbs, and maybe point me in the right direction in regard to purchasing these bulbs. The cheapest I've found them is around $400 shipped. This is a commercial bed that I use exclusively in my home, so I'm not to concerned about regulations. Also, one last thing, should I get the reflecting bulbs? It seems as if it would be worth the extra cash. You can post a response, or email me at hitsbombs2002@yahoo.com with input.

Thanks!

sounds to complicated.

It's similiar to the dual sun bulb set up, but with lower uvb output, higher uva...

I'd be afraid reflector lamps would stripe you in a 28 lamp bed. Doesn't that only have 13 lamps in the bench?

I agree, reflectors probably not a wise choice. Look for Beach Suns, nice lamp. 20 minutes lamps.

They are called LAMPS!!!

I told you in the other post, I have the morning sun 2.6's in my bed and I LOVE them, but my salon that I used to tan at before I opened one had MidDay Suns in their 30 minute beds, and those gave a great tan!

I didn't even know there were 30 minute beds out there!

engfant · 09-26-2007, 03:27 PM

any lamp will tan you in 30min. I'd go with Cosmedico 9k90 anything and get BROWN.

But aren't the max times on most beds (low end) 20 min? I thought there was a reason you stay within the max time? Isn't that over exposure?
