You have many Choices for replacement lamps in a Suncapsule. (depending on lamp type)

The most popular Suncapsule came equipped with Cosmolux VHR.
Here are some compatible
replacements:
Cosmolux VHR TT--Nice browning with a slight kick of UVB
Signature Series-- Nice Browning, slightly stronger than VHR
Philips Swift-- Golden color, does not hold up well in HOT units.(New XPT model available but I haven't tried it.)
Hereaus 20/160-- Fast browning lamp
Brilliance EuroPower- Nice color, Economy lamp

Most VHO-R type lamps are rated for 800 HRS. Usefull life on most is about 400-500 hrs.
With Economy lamps expect around 350 hrs.

There are many other options that are stronger & provide a much faster result, however they most likely are not compliant.

What was the Original lamp.... Velocity? Speed? what name was on it?

The Bronzing Sun is more of a 20 minute lamp & the Plus might be about a 18-15 minute.

Usually 10 minute beds will have 160W lamps. Which I assume you only have 100W lamps?

So if it is only a 100W lamp then you will need a lamp with HIGH UVB or a Mid Range UVB relector lamp. You will have to check compatibility.

Non-Reflector:
Cosmedico Hi-Tan
Equator Sun XL
Interelectric Panther
Brilliance Cheetah

Reflector lamps: Fast & HOT
Cosmolux ESP/R
Beach Sun R
Philips Advantage R
Brilliance Euro Power R-UVA
