Need help understanding lamps - tanTALK

Hi there, I was reading through some posts and I can tell that you know a bit about lamps, and the different types. I too have been doing a lot of research on them.....and as soon as I think I've got it all figured out, I get confused again. I just bought a used puretan bed that is in very good condition. It has Velocity lamps in it, they are VEL73-T12. Can you or anyone else tell me anything about these lamps? I don't know a thing about them. Thanks for any help or advice.......

PS I'm just a newbie here running a 2 bed tanning/hair salon in small town

I have the new Rave 7.0 lamps in my other Puretan bed...how would these lamps compare? They are 20 minute lamps.

The Rave lamps are more like the original lamps that came in the bed.

The Original lamp was the Puratan S+, the S+ is a bit stronger than the Wolff Velocity. The Velocity lamps are a decent lamp for beginner tanners, I'm sure the Rave lamps will please your more serious tanners.

You have plenty of options when it comes to lamps, stick with a long life & about a 5% UVB output for those units & you will have no problems.

Here are some options:
Heraeus New Colors F73/T 100
LSI Midday Sun
Philips Advantage
Cal Tan Helio F73/5.0
Cosmolux ESP
