So I snooped around the salon near me..they use Velocity bulbs..are these any good? Do the bulbs that the salon uses really make a diff in the tanning experience? If these suck what do you rec?

I thought the lamps did that?

All lamps are different Doll.Some have more UVA some have more UVB..some are really really old and have never been changed and some are always changed and kept fresh .It took me about 2 yrs to find what my clients wanted and liked.I got it now.The perfect lamps for my clients.I have a few different ones that I use too.
