EQUIPMENT

Tanning Equipment Facts.......

All Tanning Equipment is not created equal. Sunsetters has a broad mix of equipment and bulbs with varying degrees of UVA/AVB ultraviolet rays.  In fact Sunsetters offers 6 different Bulb technologies delivering to you the widest range of beds designed to give you "THE TAN THAT'S RIGHT FOR YOU" regardless of your skin type.

Why 6 bulb technology choices?   Because everyone tans differently and this allows you as the Customer to see for yourself the results you desire.

BULB TECHNOLOGY:

Type 1 -100 watt output bulbs with 97.4% UVA rays (tanning rays) and less than 1.6% UVB (reddening rays). This type of bulb lets you tan for 20 minutes with absolutely no redness or burning...but after several successive sessions the gentle tanning UVA rays will give you a beautiful bronze glow.
This is a great bulb for someone starting out the tanning process to build a base tan without burning.
Type 2 -100 watt Mid Intensity bulbs with a higher concentration of UVB (2.6%) Rays. Great for the person that already has a base tan or someone with a naturally dark skin already. It will give a terrific boast in their colour. We recommend that the Customer have a base tan already for best results.
Type 3 -100 watt High Intensity with bulbs with our highest concentration of UVB (5-6.5%) Rays. Premise is the same as Type 2 bulbs.  This type of bulb is best suited for an avid tanner looking to get instant gratification in colour.
Type 4 -160 watt high output VHR bulbs have been the biggest technology breakthrough in the modern tanning industry era. This bulb has a high concentration of UVA (tanning rays) and because of the high output coupled with many bulbs....it becomes possible to obtain a great golden tan without the burning, in 1/3 the time (7-12 minutes).
This type of bulb is suitable for a first time tanner with lower minute exposure or for the well tanned person looking to get a deeper darker glow by increasing the time.
Type 5 -200 watt very high output bulbs work in the same premise as type 3 bulbs but produce greater wattage output, therefore the maximum allowed time in this unit is 9 minutes. This is currently the most powerful bulb technology in the industry and Sunsetters was the first in Canada to have it.
Type 6 -High pressure bulbs are almost completely UVA (tanning rays), Sunsetters has them in 400-1000 watt intensity.  These are the facial bulbs we feature in most of our lay down beds.  It is a known fact that the face is one of the most difficult parts of the body to tan and to maintain, therefore the UVA rays penetrate deeper into the skin layers and activate more tanning cells (melanin) to bring out that beautiful bronze colour.

***  Please note that we recommend that when maintaining a tan, it is best to alternate equipment that features different bulb technology at times, to get a mix of UVA/UVB rays that will give you the best results.
