advice on bulbs before tanning - tanTALK

I am enjoying my winter tan these days. I never knew I could look good in winter.
I notice though from place to place, the beds are different. Some burn me a little me just in just 7 minutes, as others just give me a nice tan. So I wondered if it is the bulbs? I notice the best tan I get and feel not tired and like I was in the sun all day, was the Ergoline Excellence 800 bed that had bulbs called "xtreme". I went to another place that has a similar bed Evolution 600 and the bed was so bright and hot I decided to cut my session short, fearing I am getting burned or damaged. I did not check the make of the bulbs. I also went to another place and they use "Mega Sun " beds..These look and feel similar to Ergoline,but they claim better. I think I fealt a similar tan and session.. So can anyone tell me good bulbs to look out for next time I go indoor tanning or ask salons? I am tanning about 2 times per week @ 6-7 minute sessions..Is this concidered "moderation"?
Thanks

I'm not a seasoned professional and can't get into the logistics, but the 2 main varibles are the bulbs, type of bulb and wattage, and the bed, type of bed. With beds and bulbs some are stronger than others. I also find that I get a better tan when the bed has been used a few times.
