Rep Power: 0 funtan101 is on a distinguished road
I am currently in the process of opening up a tanning salon and trying to find out as much info as possible on the different types of beds and the ups and downs from various manufactures. Any suggestions on brands that run better, more efficient, less hassle to change bulbs from past experiences or new beds that have a better rating? any suggestions will be appreciated.

You will get a wide variety of responses from us as to what we all like and dislike. Me, I prefer Sundash, easy to maintain and have never had any problems that I couldn't fix personnally. I have even rewired the bottom of one of my beds. Simple. My suggestion to you would be to start tanning at a lot of different salons with different types of beds. Take a friend, as everyone tans differently and compare your results. I was thinking of getting a Puretan Ellipse upgrade bed, but after tanning in it (it was very nice) I receive better results in my 100w beds, I decided against spending the $20K and putting more money in my existing salon.

If I could have gotten a better deal from them, I would have gone SunDash. I think from a salon owners point of view you have to think more about longevity of the units in question, maintenance costs etc.. Even the cheapest of units will give results but you have to consider what it is going to cost you to keep those units running properly and how long they will last.........

As with everything else, you get what you pay for. That goes for beds and lamps. The more bells and whistles, the more that can go wrong. 4,000~10,000 for a 100 watt bed, remember it's the lamps that produce a tan not how cool your bed looks.

By far.. You need to stick with Sonnenbraune beds. Don't let the competition , or so called competition out there such as Sun Ergoline, or Heartland Tan beds.. fool you if you want the best results. Sonnenbraune !!!
