Our District Manager recently read in a tanning magazine that using latex gloves while changing out lamps helps with the life of the lamp. Touching the lamps with your hands affects the output of them. Has anyone else heard or read anything similar? ------------------Tracie WilliamsSandollar Corporation

Oil from your hands will cause dust to stick to the lampswe use clean cloth gloves.

I use disposable cloth gloves latex sticks to the lamps too much. Cloth is easier to work with

We take the lamps out and clean them frequently .We don't just do lamp changes.Remember to always use latex gloves when cleaning the tanning bed for your own protection.

I wipe lamps down before they are put into the bed. Also clean the beds out every week or two. Depends how busy.
