Rep Power: 0 | I have just Brand New bulbs for my Lumina 1 yr old bed. I purchased Voltarc GT 6.5 bubls and I can have people that have not even tanned in 6 months go in there for 15 min and hardly even get pink. My supplier tells me that these bulbs are designed to tann more than burn. These are supposed to be 15 min bulbs according to him. I had 18 min bulbs in the bed and I scorched myself in 12 min the first time! Who can I believe or trust???? |

Rep Power: 0 | So I bought crappy Generic bulbs! I paid $18.99 per bulb CA. They are the GT series not the GTX. So can you by bulbs designed more to tan than to Burn or is this a pile of crap? Where do you buy the best bulbs for the best price??? What is the preferred bulb??? |

Rep Power: 46 | what your looking for is more uva (browning ray) less uvb (burning ray) what is the machine your lamps are in also if your customers were tanning in a machine with high uvb and then you switched to high uva then it will seem like a weeker lamp to them |

Rep Power: 0 | So I understand that there are 3 types of UV rays. UVA, UVB, UVC? Is this correct? I wonder if most of the bulbs bost these stats?... I usually read minute ratings or 5.0, 6.5 thing. I would like to know what other bulb distributers are trusted to provide the right info with the best bulbs. Is there any place I can go just to learn about how the tanning bed actually tan you?? |

Rep Power: 30 | Th difference between UVA, UVB, and UVC was the first thing we were taught in our certification class. Didn't they teach you the difference between each of these when you got certified? |
