how many minutes in a 100w ? i posted before about this but i dont think i asked how many minutes.. anyways, the only bed close to where i live is 100 w, oh and the middle lamps are 80 w lol, and theres 24 lamps or whatever its called. and im using it right now, ive been doing 20 minutes... is that enough? people say you shouldnt do more than 20 minutes, but i tan really easily but in this one i am not tanning a lot. ... also how often should they be changing the lamps? i asked the lady but she didnt give me a direct answer.. thank you :) Last edited by honeylonglegs; 03-07-2009 at 02:28 PM.

Rep Power: 18 | Re: how many minutes in a 100w ? Usually a 24 lamp bed is reserved for home units. I have 32 lamps and a face lamp in my base bed and it's 20 min max. To see what the max time on that bed is, look for the placard that shows what schedule you should be tanning. See what they have the max session listed as. If you think you need more, upgrade. It's not always that more time in a bed is better. My level 3 is only 12 min and you only need to use that one maybe 2ce a week to get really good color. As far as how often to change the lamps, they should be changed once they've degraded by about 40%. You'd need a UV meter to figure that out. Lamps degrade by hours used, not time in a machine. So saying change them every XX months wouldn't necessiarily be true. Depends a lot on traffic on that machine. :)

Re: how many minutes in a 100w ? i looked at the bed, and i saw a sticker but its in german... i saw a minute schedule thing and i think it said like 9 minutes and then 19 minutes and then something i cant remember :/ i normally switch around, but im not in my city i live in, im with my cousin in a different city and tanning here isnt popular. and the only other place i know of that has tanning bed is far away. and i doubt its a higher level. sigh.. so yeah i just want to know how many minutes i should be doing in this bed? and also how often they should change the lamps.. cause i think its about time they did lol | |
