Just to bring out more information.....how soon would you change your base beds lamps? How many hours do you run them...and does anyone rotate the tops and bottoms?

angelcat04 · 05-24-2005, 05:17 PM

500 hours

dcjjp2 · 05-24-2005, 05:36 PM

I change at 500 also, I don't top drop.

DWhite6872 · 05-24-2005, 05:44 PM

I agree on the hours as well...I have seen people in our market not change until 800-1000 hours...

How many hours before you will go in and clean the acrylics and bulbs?

My base beds are 38-40 lamps 100W. UltraSun Sunburst 4000. www.ultrasun.nl/pages/UltraSun/index.php

Why stress about competition. Pay a little more and be paid back by etter clients who tan less often. There is still enough separation if you get large VHR's and HP Too.

There are no base beds that can compete! But most of you would not consider them base beds. My entry level beds are better than my closest competitions L-2 and even one of their L-3's.

When we took the store over it had Tan America and Sonnenbraune base beds. Not bad beds, but not in the same class.

we have ultrasun 38's in our higher income store. What made you pick 38's as your base bed? Do you have them run the full 20 minutes?

In the store with 38's....5...it depends what you consider levels...lets go through it...1. base beds 38's 2. higher canopy (not really a level but upgrade) 3. beds w/facials 4. higher 160's on top 5. 160's all around TV/Aroma/Misting... 6. High Preasure....7. Sunless......8. Standup 200w.. I would say 5 real levels.
