Re: Strongest Lamps???

Standup, you want either LSI Apower HP lamps or if you are into ROASTERS you can give the new HITAN VHRs a whirl.

The 2 regular beds have about 10000 different ways to go. You can do Goldariums, Bellariums, goopadariums, poopariums or any other 20min lamp that's rather popular.

The 15min bed, (I'm assuming the one with the 160/100watt setup) you can go the VHR/VLR setup or even the LSI Signature Series top and bottom.

Re: Strongest Lamps???

The strongest lamps are not necessarily the best tanning lamps. You would better serve your customers by putting the best and most appropriate lamps in your beds and booths, not just burners that speed up your turnover rate.

Re: Strongest Lamps???

If you are using 160 Watt 808's at 15 min. you are insane.

Re: Strongest Lamps???

Agree with Ed. Find out what most of your customers are looking for in a tan. Don't use a lamp with all UVB that will just cook them.. If you decide to use a lamp like that, just put it in one of your smaller units for customers that want to look like a lobster. I see that you are also from Ontario, make sure of your regulations there, I'm not sure what they are for compatability issues. Good luck in whatever you choose.
