Tanning lamps are ultraviolet-emitting devices that act as the main element of the different sorts of tanning beds and booths on the market. Sun bed lamps have as their main purpose the enhancement of a cosmetic tan, although these bulbs also have a reputation for the successful treatment of eczema and psoriasis. The depth and colour of tanning produced depends on the spectrum of light produced by the tanning lamps and the vast majority of them produce more ultraviolet light than the sun.

Nearly all sunbed lamps use a unit called a ‘ballast’ to regulate their power consumption. The ballast stabilizes the flow of electrical energy inside the lamp and is needed in order to ensure that the lamps use only the necessary amount of wattage that they require in order to work properly.

There are various kinds of sunbed lamps on sale and include reflector tanning bulbs and high output lamps. Most bulbs fall into two main groups: high pressure and low pressure types. (Within the tanning industry, it is usual to refer to high pressure tanning lamps as bulbs and low pressure tanning bulbs as lamps). Both high and low pressure tanning bulbs require a lack of oxygen inside the tube.

High pressure tanning bulbs vary in length from three to five inches and operate with 250 to 2,000 watt ballasts, 400 watt high pressure tanning bulbs are the most common. They are often included in the face tanning component of a tanning bed. High pressure tanning bulbs are made of quartz glass and an additional specialized coating, which is essential to filter out potentially deadly UVC ultraviolet rays.

These HP tanning bulbs, containing mercury or argon, produce ultraviolet light in high amounts. Handling high pressure tanning bulbs requires a great deal of care, because even a tiny amount of oil from your hands can cause the bulb to fail prematurely. High pressure tanning bulbs should be replaced after about 1,000 hours even though they will shine for up to ten times longer.

Low pressure tanning lamps are very similar to ordinary fluorescent lights, but the glass tube of low pressure tanning bulbs automatically filters out UVC ultraviolet rays. Low pressure bulbs have a useful lifespan of between 600 and 1,600 hours with 1,000 hours being the norm again.
