Is there really a difference b/t 110v & 220v 24 bulb bed? - tanTALK

I was wondering, I was thinking of buying a bed with 24 bulbs, There is two options 110v and 220v. The 110v is slightly more espensive because it requires not rewiring but both beds are EXACTLY the same, 24, 100w bulbs, same everything.....what is your opinion what would be the differnce b/t the two because if not difference in power of output/function then I am leaning toward the 110V. What do you guys think?

Most 110 Volt unit have electronic ballast in them and they more expensive to replace then a 100watt choke ballast. Depending on the unit, you may need two separate 110V stand alone circuits to run the unit. I would go with the 220 if its not too much of and expense to run your 220 line. This is for home use isn't it?

yes for home use only, would i have to lay longer in it to get a tan that i would get with a 220v?

If they are both 20 min. units, then 20 minutes is 20 minutes.
