Need help getting ready to buy lamps - tanTALK

ProTan · 01-15-2002, 10:07 PM

I currently have Pro Sun Beds. I need help determing what is the best bulbs I can get that will give a dark tan to the customers. They like bulbs that are medium heat. Nothing that gets real hot. They want the darker results that they can get.

Here is what bulbs the beds currently call for.

20 Min. Beds --Goldarium S or SR 80/100W
18 Min. Beds - Cosmolux VLR 100W
15 Min. Beds - Cosmolux VHR 160W (Canopy)
15 Min. Beds - Cosmolux VLR 100W (Bench)

Please let me know what you would suggest. I know nothing about bulbs.

Thanks,

Hi Pro Tan,
Black Sun has lamps that will improve the results your customers are getting.

I would reccommend the following:

for the Goldarium S - Black Sun Infinity 55

for the VLR 100w - Black Sun Relex Series 1

for the VHR 160w - Black Sun Reflex / Very High Output RUVA

feel free to visit our web site.

Protan,
I have the blacksun reflex lamps in one of my beds and my clients love them. I am getting ready to put blacksuns in 4 more of my entry level beds.
I have been very pleased with these lamps.
Also, you could check with another board memeber Tantalize for her view on these lamps as I know she has them also.

Have you tried any Lightsource lamps??? I went through a search this fall for 100w, 140w reflector, and 160w reflector replacements and have had great success with these lamps. I would give John @ Ultraviolet Resources a call. He is very helpful. 1-800-247-3251.

Good Luck

If you are looking for lamps try the new philips.
Swift-R 100 watt for the VLR
Swift-R 160 watt for the VHR
Swift 100 watt for the goldarium.
All have compatability,if yo want t go stronger use the advantage lamps by philips.They are probably the best overall tanning lamps around.

I have Puretan beds and the all came with "F73 Puretan S+" bulbs. They are in my 20 min. Puretan "Circee" beds (33 bulb 100 watts/ea) I (for some reason) believe that they are made by Cosmedico. But I could be very wrong.

I would prefer something a tad stronger. I don't know much about different options when it comes to bulbs, and their strengths.

From salon owner experience who has what and how do you like it?

The puretan lamps are made by light sources.If you want something a little stronger use the philips advantage,It has compatability to the puretan and works very well.Another alternative is the cosmolux ESP.

ProTan "hot lamps" some one please educate this guy what the **** is a HOT LAMP?
heat is the enemy of tanning lamps.

lampman · 01-19-2002, 08:04 PM

Some of the new lamps do not generate as much heat as the older ones.The light emission lamps run cooler (temperature) but tan really well.Some people say that they dont seem to sweat as much then try to stay longer in the bed because it is more comfortable.
