Is the 180W lamp a 79" ???

Hi John,
The lamps are 2 metre

JOHN @ URI · 04-28-2004, 09:12 PM

Not sure that BlackSun offers a 2 meter lamp.

Here are some really good ones to consider.

LSI Signature Series 2 meter 180W
Cosmolux VHR 9k90 2 meter 180W
LSI Signature Series 2 meter 180W
Heraeus 20/180R

Which brand are you currently using?

Hi John
Currently using Cosmolux 180W VHR, looking to give deeper tan faster. A client came in and told me she got v good colour in 1 session no lotion @ a competitors studio. my lamps are still reading 30-31 on UV meter,so are still strong.

I don't know what lamps my competitor is using. need to find out

Clients always say things like that.... The competitor in my town uses ALL Hi-Tan bulbs, as well as VHR TT's (they all have an extra punch of UVB) so the people who go there get really red, and they think its a good tan..... It is annoying that they dont understand how tanning works, so people like that..... just overlook their comments. Most people want a freebie, and expect to be tan in 1-2 sessions.. I tell them that it is unreasonable, and that proper tanning takes time. If you want to do it the right way, listen to the salon owner......

aussietan,

What did your lamps meter when new?

If you want a good kick of UVB & still maintain a high UVA you may want to consider the Heraeus 20/180R. I feel they will be a good fit.
