They are special because he is a Doctor & can say what he wants.

The lamps are no different than anything else out there in tanning. I doubt they are using higher UVB lamps.

They do have some units that they mix Red & Blue lamps into.

I like the Vitamin D Council sticker he has on his tanning beds. How do we get that on the rest of the tanning beds in the industry?

ESB make his beds, they offer the same things on thier site.

Re: whats the uvb % in mercola lamps

Why would a higher UVB be preferred?

UVB promotes Vitamin D.

Re: whats the uvb % in mercola lamps

Thanks, John. I wasn't looking at it from that point of view.

Re: whats the uvb % in mercola lamps

unless you are looking to lay down for 2min there is no reason for "high UVB" anything

software engineer in the media broadcast industry. fun times but I am PALE!!! Just got the bed setup.

But nevermind the Mercola lamps. All tanning lamps that are working will stimulate Vitamin D.

Re: whats the uvb % in mercola lamps

so we lived the first round of tanning. I took some used VLRs from the 12min version I had and put them in the top. I'm using goldariums in the bottom.

The timer I'm using is programmed for 12min so until I find the 20min or reprogram (tantime easy peasy) but 12 is all I need. VLRs kick ***.

Too bad I can only find my 6.4 meter. Got stashed somewhere when I moved and now I can't find the god dam thing.
