meter reading

tancharlie · 03-22-2007, 09:40 AM

Does anyone know about what my bed should read? I have a diva 7, it has 54 160w 9k90 bulbs in it. The last time i rebulbed it it was reading around 80 this time only 60. Any similar bulb configuration should help.

If you are metering on the first run, forgetaboutit. I've seen numbers from 40-80 on the 5.0. Only good for pushing in people's faces on line but not realistic.

high 70's here - wait about 50hrs then use to meter - that's a long time to wait at 9 min max tan time.

I think running a 9k90 for a 9 min tan time is not suitable. I like that lamp in a 12-15 minute session. You should consider going with something more aggressive.

Like WHAT?

Cosemedico VHR HI-Tan or the Light source Signature Series HP has a bit more UVB than the 9k90.

Don't get me wrong the 9k90 is an excellent lamp. We love em!
