encore lamp question - tanTALK

caribbean tan man · 02-03-2006, 10:04 AM

could someone explain why heartland put 160 watt lamps in the CANOPY and 180 watt in the BENCH on the ENCORE. i would think it should be the other way around and im pretty sure ive seen beds with 100 bench and 160 canopy.....~confused~

mikejones sez,

the bottom lamps are long lamps and need a 180watt ballast. If they were powered by 160watt they'd be underpowered. Kinda like running a 160watt lamp on 140watt ballast.

The bravo has 160/100watt setup.

thanks i wasnt aware it had long lamps in the bench. i have a 2002 model and its got 160 top and bottom seems they wanted to get rid of the extra space in bench!

The Bravo bottom lamps are almost AGAINST the acryllic and the 160180watt has like a 4inch gap for better air flow I believe. Also you'd probably ROAST is they were against the acryllic.

I'd LOVE for them to do 180watt on top (over power the lamps) with vertical mount facials. Heartland was never really known for their powerful facial setups.
