You can have a light tan, golden tan, bronze tan, or a deep dark tan. The good thing about these lamps is that they are like having the sun in a compact tube. These modern tanning bed bulbs are made with the best technology and are safe and effective for all skin types. Just be sure to follow the instructions on how to use the product properly to make sure to have the best result.

The government and the sunbed industry have applied strict rules just to make sure that it can never harm the user. The UV rays that these lamps give off should be within the safety limits. That is why they are safe to use to keep your skin healthy and tanned.

There are different types of tanning beds and booths on the market today that have sun lamps. These lamps give off ultraviolet rays that act as the main component. The tanning bulbs emit a spectrum of lights that are responsible for the depth and color of the tan. The ultraviolet light that the sun produces is less compared to the lights produced by these tanning bulbs.

The majority of tanning bed bulbs use a ballast. This unit is used to regulate power consumption. It is used because inside the lamp the flow of current is needed to be stabilized. It also makes sure that the bulbs use only the required number of wattage that they need so that it can work efficiently and effectively.

Sunbed lamps are available in various types and they can be easily found on the market. These include reflector bulbs and high output lamps. There are two main categories of these lamps which are high pressure and low pressure types. Most high pressure tanning bulbs measure from 3 to 5 inches. Most bulbs operate with 250 to 2,000 watt ballasts but tanning bulbs with 400 watts are the most popular. These are often used in the face tanning procedures of a sunbed.

Quartz glass is the major component of these bulbs and is added with a specialized coating, which is very important in filtering out the very harmful UVC ultraviolet rays. A majority of these high pressure bulbs which contain mercury or argon are designed to be made to create ultraviolet light in high concentration. These high pressure bulbs should be handled carefully because they are so delicate that even just a small amount of oil can make the bulb malfunction. 
 
Low pressure tanning lamps on the other hand are similar to normal fluorescent lights, but the glass tube of these bulbs automatically filters out ultraviolet rays. It is important that when you replace bulbs you should replace all bulbs all at the same time.

Choosing a high quality bulb would be best as they will last longer compared to cheap ones. If you are not sold on getting a tan in a tanning bed there are other alternatives. You can get an airbrush spray tan. Of course this is temporary and will wash off within a week or less. It is safer in terms of not exposing your body to the sun. The airbrush tanning equipment is usually available at specialty tanning shops. Oftentimes the place where you tan in the tanning bed can also be the airbrush tanning salons. If you want to save a little money, you can get airbrush tanning kits. You can spray your body yourself whenever you want and can also spray your family members. 
 
There are many ways to get a tan. There are different bulbs to use that will determine how deep your tan turns out. Also, another great way to get a tan without the sun is with an airbrush tanning kit. Either way you can look your best whether semi-permanent or temporary. Looking great does take some effort and getting an awesome tan is one of the best ways to improve your complexion. Moderation is the key and as long as you are getting a tan in a sensible manner then you can avoid the health risks.

Whether you have a home or commercial tanning bed, it is also important to keep track of how many hours you have used the bulbs. Generally, tanning bulbs should be replaced at about 80% of their life (ex 1000 hour bulb, change at 800 hours). Also, remember that new bulbs are strong and your tanning time may need to be adjusted.
