Question What Effect would this have?

One of the Bed manufacturer's across here are selling beds which are 48 x 250w lamps, also they have a 'mirrored' alloy sheeting behind the lamps.

http://www.ultimatetanningstudio.co.uk/products.html

Now i've seen 'home/hired' beds with this, but not commercial beds. Since i've no intention of buying new beds (mainly due to the new 0.3w regulations across here). Would coating the sheeting behind the lamps with aluminum foil(tin foil to us across here) have the same effect?

Also, what would this do to:

a. The performance of the bed?

b. The customer? i.e would you end up 'cooking' the customer? Even though we do have some which i'd like nothing better to do to them lol.

They offer pine framed units....

For reflector lamps I can't see it doing anything. For the other I can't see it doing do much. The UV would need to bounce off the back and then travel back through the lamp in most cases so there wouldn't be much left once it hit your body.

Re: What Effect would this have?

dont do anything so silly like adding tin foil to a tanning bed, if you really want to do this youd be much happier with thin stainless steel sheating. id advise against adding anything actually

adding actual tin foil i think would hurt your business and look cheap

equipment that uses non reflective vho type lamps generally come with a reflextive coating that sits behind the lamps.

equipment that uses reflector or vhr lamps really dosent need anything because the light all comes out the front of the lamp anyway..

Re: What Effect would this have?

Wasn't going to added tin foil or anything else, was more wondering what the effect of this would be. My first thought was if the beds' performance was increased by this then other manufacturers' (Tansun, Harpo, Suquest etc.) would have already used stainless steel sheets.

Again, i was more wondering what the effect would be. Since virtually every bed across here uses reflector lamps anyway and very little of the sheeting is seen. So what is the point of using 'mirrored sheeting' in the first place? Hence the reason why i'm asking.
