What Are Tanning Bed Lamps?

Tanning bed lamps vary depending on the type of tanning bed. Tanning bed lamps are necessary for any kind of tanning bed. The conventional tanning beds use a different type of tanning bed lamps than a high pressure bed. The high pressure beds use quartz tanning bed lamps that can vary in length. These tanning bed lamps usually tan your body from above. While using these tanning bed lamps you will lie on a comfortable mattress. After about 12 minutes under these tanning bed lamps you will turn over and tan the other side of your body. The tanning bed lamps in these beds have gasses inside the quartz lamps. The gasses inside the tanning bed bulbs are held at a little above atmospheric pressure. The gasses inside regular tanning bed lamps are held at below atmospheric pressure. When using tanning bed lamps in a high pressure bed it will not take you as long to get a tan. Tanning bed lamps in this kind of bed also make it possible to maintain your tan with less frequent trips to the tanning salon. Conventional tanning bed lamps use both UVA and UVB rays. The tanning bed lamps in the high pressure beds have a system that filters the ultra-violet lights really well. Some of the newer high pressure beds have very advanced systems that remove the higher frequencies of the UVA rays almost completely. Consequently, when you tan using these tanning bed lamps you are tanning as safely as possible. You might want to talk to the owners of your tanning salon and find out what type of tanning bed lamps they are using.
