"THE NEW LAW" Much weaker lamps? - tanTALK

parrot head · 12-08-2009, 01:29 PM

This whole situation has got me puzzled. What if, come March, the "new law" goes into effect that greatly reduces what a lamp can put out as far a UVB and UVA. I need new lamps soon, but I'm not going to buy any, because the lamps I'm using now might be stronger than the new lamp guildlines. It sure seems to me that this is a logical question and could sure raise heck with sales for the lamp companies. What does everyone think? Another thought, what if they shut us down, come March, or give us until the end of the year to cease operations? A lot of companies, down the tubes. Do you suppose we'll get a bailout?

If they do that, everyone's computer will crash and no one will be able to get a valid number for sales. I know my sales would take a drastic drop. lol

They would most likely "grandfather" the old units & lamps in.

New regulations would be on new beds & lamps that go in them first.

The European Union have done that across here, but like John said, this only applies to new and second beds being bought and sold. We know of some places in England who have converted the beds back so that they can use more powerful lamps.

fortunately, the local county council don't know how to test for the new regs and normally just leave us alone lol

Just use the "New" lamps, and boost the voltage to 350v!!!

JOHN @ URI · 12-08-2009, 03:22 PM

The Euro Regulations are different for each country. Most adopted the 0,3 but places like France are at 0,15 W/m². Some coutries like Spain are very strict, others still have no enforcement.

Some areas had to convert all older beds to meet the new regs & others was on new equipment only.

So all existing equip is exempt?

Even still, your in WI parrot. So just get the lamps that have the same output as you have now.
