ComancheTan · 10-19-2005, 05:14 PM

My base beds are 28 bulb Impacts. Is a 240G
Sundash w/o facials okay for a Level 2?

if im reading the model # correct that(240g) means 24 lamp no facial! if im correct then the answer is NO a upgrade bed needs at least more lamps if not more power also than the base bed! tell us who are not familiar with that bed the lamp count

SunDash 240 is a 40 bulb bed with 170W top and 120W bottom.

i thought it might have been 40 lamp with 2 facials but u said no facials....anyhow..yes that would be a upgrade with or without facials. however i dont like the idea of the different watt lamps makes customers want to flip (if they know) and now you need to relamp 2 different types of lamps! better would be a 12 minute bed unless you got level 3 in mind

The 240 is my level 2, and the level 2 in dozens of salons I can think of just off the top of my head! Very good choice - esp. the 15 minute. The scoop design gives great coverage, "flipping" not an issue (they realize top lamps are higher to make up for the distance from the body, plus to give more on harder to tan places like face and legs).

What would go after that??

I have the 240g ( 20mins )for my level 2...i like having the option of the longer tan time....the hard core tanners (really really brown ones, who don't need to tan) LOVE this bed...&.....alot of people do just fine with 15mins...so you accomodate every one......

Depends how much more room/how many more beds you are going to install.

In general for most salons, the next level may be your last or second to last. You want it to have High Pressure facial tanners (the square ones), more lamps, higher wattage. Maybe even shoulder tanners or mist or other features like that. A bigger, more impressive "presence" in the room - larger acrylic, more comfortable and roomy.

Something that might be 46-56 160-200W lamps, with facial tanners, would fit the bill well.
