Lamp Confusion

aeltiger · 04-13-2007, 10:24 AM

Ok, I'm replacing the lamps in my Level 1 Sunstar 332 beds. The bench currently has 16 Velocity 100W and the canopy has 16 Velocity Plus 100W. I have been reading through other posts regarding which bulbs to replace with and I am more confused now than ever! I am looking at Phillips Swift bulbs. Any advice?? Should I stick with Velocitys? HELP!!!

I would stick with the Velocity.

swift has a little more bite than the velocity, both similar tan times and good 20-24 minute lamps.

have you tried swift hp they have slightly more uvb and more uva so it ofers a deeper tan

Velocity is great for beginners & that is it.
Velocity plus is only a hair better.

You will be very please with the Swift HP on top & Swift standard in the bench.

Here are some other good options
LSI Midday Sun - bench - fast color
LSI Beach Sun -top

Wolff Everglo- all around- nice bronzing

Cosmolux Goldarium SP- nice bronzing

I like the Goldarium SP that John mentioned as well as the MIdday Sun lamps. I really haven't been guided wrong by John. If your not doing business with him you may want to give a call.
