Tried a TA red light bed, are the lamps cooked? - tanTALK

sunburst ent. · 03-04-2013, 04:21 PM

[b]Went today to try out my first red light session in a TA red light bed. It had around 32 lamps and the 3 LED facial panels. The bed seemed ultra cool the whole session, so cool I would swear it's not on......but it was. Is that normal for a red light bed? I realize they don't emit any UV rays so would run cooler just wondering if the lamps may be cooked in it? Anyone that knows these beds: your input is appreciated.

Thanks[b]

Red light lamps do give off a lot of heat.

Sorry, did you mean do give off a lot of heat or don't give off a lot of heat?

If it's an electronic ballast bed it might not generate much heat.

Red Light Lamps give off very little heat. And the LED's give out even less heat. Additionaly, the lamps and the LED's take forever to wear out. So it is unlikely but not impossible that they were "cooked" My guess is that your experience is standard for heat from a red lamp bed.

Another question: are the LED facial panels stronger than the tube lamps. By that I mean if I were to flip around and go under the tube lamps would I get better results?
