Explaining Sunbeds in Terms of Watt

What are the different strengths of Sunbeds.

Today, I'm writing about the kinds of sunbed we use in terms of the Watt element on the long tubular UV lamp on the sunbed.
The three most basic types of lamp used are 100 Watt, 160 Watt, and 200 Watt, although the 200 Watt is still very new and not complete in it's testing.

The oldest, and safest of these to use are the 100 Watt lamps, being more tested and much more suitable and reliable if you want to get a good tan, dare I say it----- yes--- you’ve remembered------safe tanning, responsible tanning. These lamps however are really much better suited for longer session times e.g. 15 mins. I personally only take a time of 12 mins.and find that’s adequate for me, as I still prefer ‘longer and slower’, plus the time relaxing and lying down is well worth it. So as you can see these lamps are not suitable on fast beds or stand-ups.
The 160 Watt lamp is powerful and fast.and they are used in stand-up units as well. Tanning can be a little deceptive under this lamp as tans develop quickly, and can fade just as easily.You will find,depending on your skin-type that the tan itself is never as rich or as deep as of that on a 100 Watt lamp bed.

The 180 Watt lamps on the sunbed are just the 160 Watt tubes which are that bit longer. More care is needed when using the 200 Watt lamp bed as the testing on this product is still incomplete. All beds over 100 Watt should only be operated in professional tanning salons.All staff need to have received the proper training and the appropriate qualifications. In Spain they seem to be leading the rest of the continent in that it is already the law to have these levels of responsibility and training with qualifications of integrity.

Obviously the whole theory behind the technicalities of the sunbed and it’s lamps and the whole integration of all its parts is a very complex issue. Here I’ve just depicted a very brief , but helpful outline. You can always find good sources of information if your curiosity has been aroused.
