New Salon Owner Replacing Lamps... - tanTALK

EliteTanning · 08-18-2004, 09:24 PM

Hi everyone...I've been in business for a year and a half & I am learning more everyday (as I am sure you all are too!). I am currently trying to find the best way to begin my search for the best replacement lamps and the best company to purchase them from. I have Wolff Beds, with the discontinued Speed System lamps...so that put me at even MORE of a loss when I began my search months ago! I am located in southern Virginia. Any advice?? Any tips on how to go about replacing lamps? Anyone with the SunStar ZX32 3F beds have any preferences on lamps? I want to keep happy customers

I am so bad about remembering that Wolff did not make the beds...Thanks for the reminder and the advice! I encourage anyone else who has/had the same lamps to reply.

Hi Everyone! I'm new to the tanning business. I bought an existing salon, and the previous owner did not know when the bulbs were changed last... When should I change them. (I'm not getting any complaints from clients yet) Thanks for your feedback!

As long as your customers are happy I would suggest waiting till just before the start of the tanning season before relamping. The velocity lamps are also a good replacement for the speed bulb. You can go on australiangold.com to find lists of compatible lamps for what you currently have or just call me-Neil 1-800-670-7546. Salon Support does a bulb blowout every November where we will send you your bulbs and give you 60 days to pay for them.

My suggestion....just replace with the same kind of lamps that manufacture had in them to start. Saves headache and time. I replace mine with the same lamps every year and man does it show in the tans my clients get and same me time and money.
