Starters - tanTALK

Can anyone explain to me if you dont have a buckbooster, how that would affect the starters. My voltage is only off by 10 and the company is telling us thats its not their problem.

What type of equipment do you have? Yes 10 can be a big difference. If the bed has choke ballast, and the voltage requirement is 220 and you have 210, this bed will not fire up properly and it won't tan worth a beans. PM me and I can give you my number to help you.. Thanks, Jeff

Why does everything always have to go through a PM. I think that there are many people on this board that have experienced or are experiencing the same problem and would like to get advice as well...what about an open discussion??? Is that not what this board is for??? Just curious.

Sorry, its just easier for me to see I have msg's to help people instead of searching each forum to see if someone made comments or need help. I will try to not do that as often. My emails just show I have a msg from TT and then I pull it up and see whats up. Also its easier to explain over the phone then typing out everything. I did explain most of it above.

Good question Tanzenite.

Good answer Sarge.

Low voltage can affect lamp start-up, but if you're at 208 it shouldn't be too much of a problem. However, whatever bed you have won't produce very good results at 208. That's why you need a buck boost transformer, because tanning results will be much better.

208 with a choke ballast is too low. The lamps slowly start up in most unit with a choke ballast system and it will not tan like it should.
