Rep Power: 23 | Works well with media player, takes a few minutes to get going. The Sol Glass by LSI is something totally new to the market. What most tanning lamp makers use for glass in tanning lamps is the same as what you use in the ceiling of your salon, nothing special. LSI has made a unique glass, that is more open, to let more UV to pass. This new glass technology lets them use very little to no UVB phosphors & a lot more UVA phosphors. Yet it can still provide a suffiecient 10-12 minute session, with lots of UVA. The 5 minute movie really explains the technology well, I am still learning it also. |

Rep Power: 23 | Through the combined R&D efforts of their US headquarters in Connecticut and their European glass factory, LightSources has developed SolGlass – an innovative and proprietary glass technology – to create the most effective tanning lamps available. Most glass tubes used in tanning lamps are the exact same as those used in fluorescent bulbs, and are inherently designed to filter out UV rays. Since they are so inefficient when it comes to UV transmission, they need to be loaded up with both power (wattage) and UVA phosphors to have an effect on the skin. The “overpowering” required to blast enough UV rays through the glass tube’s built-in filter is the main factor that degrades a conventional lamp’s performance and operating life. • SolGlass Technology is based on a newly developed glass tube composed of ultra-pure – or “open” – glass. • Because this open glass has very few impurities, it allows for more effective and efficient UV transmission – especially at the wavelengths that create the greatest tanning effect. • Due to the efficient UV transmission, SolGlass Technology incorporates an innovative mix of the UV phosphors that have the most tanning impact on the skin. • Narrow-Band UVA for immediate coloring • Short-wavelength UVB for persistent pigmentation • This unique combination of “open” glass and innovative phosphor mix provides the most effective UVB spectrum and highest UVA readings than any other lamp in the industry. With SolGlas™ Technology in your tanning lamps, you can provide the most satisfying tanning experience available. |
