Tanning Bulb / Lamp Tips:

 

How to prolong the life of your tanning lamps/bulbs:

To help your tanning bulbs (lamps) last longer and give the great tanning results you desire, it is advisable that you follow a few tips to keep you tanning bed and lamps (bulbs) in optimum shape.  This will also help you achieve a great tan.

1)  Periodically clean your acrylics thoroughly with an approved tanning bed acrylic cleaner.  DO NOT use harsh cleaners!  Do Not use Windex, 409, or other such cleaners.  These cleaners can dull your acrylic making it hard for light to pass through and reducing your lamps tanning power.
Power Kleen tanning bed acrylic cleaner is a safe cleaner for tanning bed acrylics.  Power Kleen tanning bed acrylic cleaner can be purchased HERE!
Wipe down your tanning bulbs (lamps) also.  This will make sure you get the maximum tanning results because your acrylics and bulbs will be clean and
will allow light to pass through without being defused by dust, skin oils, tanning lotion residue, and grime.

2)  Clean all the reflectors behind the bulbs (lamps) when you change the bulbs.
3)  Replace your starters when you replace your tanning bulbs (if your unit uses them-not all do).
4)  Use a soft cloth that will not scratch your acrylics when cleaning them.
5)  Replace all your lamps at one time and the lamp starters too (only if your unit uses lamps starters).

What Is A Tanning Lamp?

A tanning lamp (tanning bulb) emits UV light and this light that is created acts on the skin to produce melanin.  Melanin is produced in melanocyte cells.  It can take a few as five minutes under a tanning lamp to create the same effect of being out in the sun for two hours.  Tanning lamps also helps the body produce vitamin D just like the sun.

 

How Do Tanning Lamps (Bulbs) Work?

Both commercial tanning lamps or home tanning lamps emit ultraviolet rays so your skin will tan.  Inside of the tanning lamps/bulbs contain inert gasses, mercury, and a phosphorus coating.  By adding electricity to the lamps, the mercury looses its satiability this releases this energy in the form of ultraviolet light.  This ultraviolet light is like the suns ultraviolet light and will cause the skin to tan and produce vitamin D.

 
Maintenance Of Tanning Lamps (Bulbs)

You should clean your lamps, acrylics, and lamp reflectors regularly.  This will make sure you get the best tan possible from your tanning equipment.  Make sure you use a cleaner that is safe for acrylics (this is the clear part you lay on).  Tanning bed acrylics can be damaged by harsh cleaners.  They can crack and dry out.  Tanning bed acrylics can also be dulled and this will make it hard for light to pass through the acrylic.  This will diminish your tanning lamps (bulbs)  tanning power.

Tanning Lamp (Bulb) Life

Most tanning lamps (bulbs) last around 1,000 hours but are strongest when they are new.  You should replace all your tanning lamps (bulbs) at the same time.  If you have an older bed, your tanning bed may use lamps starters and these should be replaced at the same time also.  Check your lamp life to determine if you should replace your tanning lamp bulbs.  Check your tanning beds acrylics to see if they need to be replaced.
