Buying Cheap Tanning Bed Bulbs

Tanning bed bulbs are a vital part of a solarium bed or booth. It’s always advisable to go for your bulb requirements to a wholesale distributor. However, please make sure that in trying to get cheap tanning bed bulbs that you do not end up having discount lamps that are inferior in quality. Sunquest is one of the recommended brands, preferred by many people who are professionals in the industry.

That does not mean you cannot get other lamps that are good in quality and are also priced right. There is a wide array of lamps and replacement lamps for this type of equipment available on the market today. Buy lamps with a customized mix of UVA and UVB rays – that is the best for perfect overall bronzing. Some tanning bed bulbs use a phosphor blend for the darkest possible tan. This causes the melanin granules in the skin to darken faster, and without any accompanying redness or discomfort.

The kind of lamp you need to buy will depend on your skin type as well as your bronzing requirements. If you have very fair skin and need more bronzing than most people, or if you need your tan really fast, get a lamp with a UVB rating of 6.5% for a dark tan. On the other hand a normal skin type requires just 20 minutes under a 4% to 5% lamp. ‘Bronzing’ lamps are the best, generally speaking, because they give you your tan slowly, but it’s a lot darker which is what most people desire.

Choose separate lamps for the face and the body. The facial lamps give you a high speed and low pressure session of smooth, even bronzing. There is very little heat generation and you won’t get a redness or blotchy look on your facial skin.

Consult your professional guide for the right choice in tanning bed bulbs.  You will find more than enough guidence right here online to help you choose the very best type of replacement bulb to suit your bed.
