Rep Power: 22 | SUN, if you really threw 9K90's away that had only 100 hours on them, why do you think you'll have enough sense to be profitable running a tanning salon?? I'm sorry but that's just STUPID! |

Rep Power: 22 | ENGFANT - 9K90's reading 50-52 on a 5.0 when 100 hours, now reading 40 at 500 hours equals 20% loss already. Readings taken at 20-30 hours would have helped you set a more realistic baseline on these lamps. They were probably kicking out 55-57 on a 5.0 meter at that point. They are likely close to 70% of their original output now, so time to change em' out. _________________ [ This Message was edited by: bsmart on 2005-03-30 12:02 ][ This Message was edited by: bsmart on 2005-03-30 12:04 ] |

Rep Power: 29 | I said IN THE 40s. Meaning 45+. Which is about 15-20 points HIGHER than a standard VHR (what the bed is tested for) at the same time. They are fine and OUT TAN EVERYTHING in town. Don't worry about me. Actually I plan on putting those lamps in another bed when I'm done with them in the big bed and squeeze another 300hrs out of them. And they are behind frosted acryllics. |
