Rep Power: 0 | Tanning Bed Output I have a Perfect Tan bed with 21-100W 71" bi pin and 5-59" 80W lamps. I bought some new lamps and i told the sales woman what exactly i had and she told me to get the Bermuda Gold lamps. They are 105W lamps and i asked her if i could put them in the bed and she said yes. Well yesterday im putting in the lamps and after lamping it i notice one of the lamps is out. I naturally check the lamp in another area and it works, so i change the starter and even with another lamp it doesn't work, so iam thinking maybe it is the ballast. My question is could being the lamps are 105W instead of the 100W that it might have blown the ballast for that lamp? If so you think im going to have a problem exchanging them for the 100W and 80W ones the bed calls for? Im going to ask them to pay for a new ballast as well,cause i don't want to have further problems with ballasts burning out because the lamps are higher in watt. |

Rep Power: 0 | Re: Tanning Bed Output Makes no difference. 105w is just marketing hype. The lamp is 100w. The ballast is 100 watts and it will only put out 100 watts no matter what lamp is in there. The ballast determines the wattage. It doesn't work like screw in light bulbs. Check the connections at the lampholder too. It may have come loose when you changed the lamps. Could be the ballast, lampholder, starter, lamp, or other connection. The lamp won't blow the ballast. They owe you nothing. |
