I agree with Cosmedico

Michelle, hi-tans are very high on UVB and are very strong. You may want to go with the ESP's which are a touch lower on UVB. The ESP/R's have more UVA and less UVB but is a good lamp with good results. All are rated for 800 hrs.

Jeff what do you think If i lamped one bed with the ESP's and one bed with the Hi-tans. Actually I think I will call you today.

Would it make more sense to make one of the beds a 10 minte and the other a 15 minute session?

My 10 minute bed was empty 50% of the time, finally made it a 20 minute bed, now it gets used.

Thats what I am a little afraid of. Yesterday when customers saw my new beds I had a few of them comment "Why would you want 10 minute beds, we come for the nap". "Or.... I come to get away from the kids at home" So I may make them 10 and 15 minute.

I would do 15 also.

Michelle, since your wanting to change them from the original exposure time, I would just do both of the at 15 min. but make sure you have a lamp that will perform well in a 15 min session. The ESP or the ESP/R should do the trick. Look at it this way, you will get (4) sessions per hour (lamp hour) vrs. (3) and in the long run you will make more $ per bed. Lamp cost will be the same wether its a 15 min or 20 min session. You will save on electricity per session as well. Good Luck......

In my expierence if you have 2 beds that are the same but with 2 different types of lamps, one is going to be requested more then the other and in season thats a huge pain the ***. I'd lamp them both with the same and save yourself a headache.

Oh and I forgot to say I used Cosmedicos in my 10 minute beds, it was a 200 watt bed/ lamp.
