Question Tanning Bulbs/Lamps

I recently purchased the SunQuest Wolff 2000S Tanning Bed Canopy. I have been using it for a few days, however, I would like to switch out the bulbs out for stronger ones. I would like the bulbs to be safe and strong, with producing a very dark tan. Any recommendations as to what/where I can purchase these bulbs? I am looking for the very best bulbs money can buy! Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Below is a picture of what I purchased:

Re: Tanning Bulbs/Lamps

I would just save the money, sell your canopy and buy a full size bed. A few years back I bought a 2000s. I had it for a week and sold it for $300 more than I paid for it. About a year ago I bought a Sunquest 24rsp. Its a 15 minute bed and I absolutely love it! You dont have to flip and the bulbs that come with it are Wolff Dark Tan lamps and they are pretty good. I want to relamp my bed with Velocity Extremes by Wolff but these ones werent that bad. I would ditch the canopy and find a good cheap used bed on Ebay.

It's hard to educate the dumb home tanner. They think they know all.

Re: Tanning Bulbs/Lamps

If you are use to tanning in a salon no "home" bed/canopy is going to make you happy. No matter what lamps you put in it. A commercial bed is a commercial bed for a reason.

Re: Tanning Bulbs/Lamps

Junk sell it...and go to your local tanning salon for a tan worth looking at..... not trying to be sarcastic but that won't tan you worth a beans no matter what lamp you put in it.

Hey wooooooo! You don't have to talk ****. She's a tanner so give her an answer.

I'll do it. What you bought doesn't have the ability to give you more than a slight glow. I'm sure you can get a better tanning lamp for it but it's not going to make a difference I don't think.

Re: Tanning Bulbs/Lamps

I agree, those canopy things are just not worth the money you pay for them. I have about 2 people who have those things and are coming in and paying me to tan in my beds. They say they just don't tan in them. You could replace the lamps but it still is not going to give you a really dark color you want.
