Tanning Bed Bulbs

Here is what you need to know to order replacement bulbs for your tanning bed:

First, you need to know the type of lamp you have, which is usually, 90% of the time, a 100 watt, F71 type with bi-pin connectors on the ends.  The F71 lamp is 69 3/8" long when measured from metal cap to cap.tanning bed bulbs  This is the MOST COMMON home tanning bed replacement lamp and you can choose from many different manufacturers and models as long as they are 100 watt! 

**98% of all home tanning beds are this type of bulb:  100 watt, F71, bi-pin type with end connectors like those pictured at the right > > > >

If you know you have the most common 100 watt, F71, bi-pin type lamp...save yourself a lot of time and money by buying one of our "Home Tanning Bed Bulb Replacement Kits" below:

These Real Sun model lamps above are 7.5% UVB (the active ingredient in tanning bed bulbs) and are equivalent to Wolff Velocity, Light Sources Midday Sun, and any other lamp which has a 7.5% UVB.  This is a GREAT lamp for the home because of it's "all-around" combination of reddening and bronzing effects and it's not too hot for friends or family who do not tan often.  You can upgrade/downgrade to a 5.0% and 8.5% UVB lamp below for $1 more per bulb but I must caution against this unless only skin type 4 people will be using the tanning device!

You should replace your starters every 3 years or every other lamp replacement.  s12 starterIf you do not know the last time the starters have been replaced, or if your lamps are slow to fire completely up, then you need new starters.  We feel so strongly about replacing starters at every lamp change we include them in the packages you see above at almost free prices!

Finally, if you REALLY want to know when to change your lamps, use a UVuv light meter for tanning beds Light Meter!  That's right, instead of guessing there is a device which reads in UV light and gives you and indications of declining lamp output.  When you first buy a new tanning bed or replace your bulbs, then you measure and record the meter reading when the lamps are new and "fresh".  Then, over time, you can measure the lamp output and see how the power has degraded.  Lamp replacement is recommended when the lamp output is 70% of the original value.  We found this to be around 700 hours on most lamps!

IMPORTANT NOTE REGARDING REPLACING TANNING BED LAMPS:  You must stay consistent with the wattage of the lamp because the ballast's wattage must match the lamp's wattage for proper operation. Therefore, you can put any 100 watt lamp in your tanning bed if you have 100 watt ballasts, UNLESS your state is regulated and they need to be "compatible" with the manufacturer's original lamps and a compatibility chart must be on file and presented upon inspection from the state health department.  We ship a compatibility chart with each order similar to this one for each of the lamps below.

If you are not in a regulated state you can put any discount, cheap, or wholesale tanning bulb you wish in your tanning bed, however, the best 100 watt tanning bed lamp on the market today is Cosmedico's Cosmolux VLR lamp which is recommended for 13 minutes max exposure each day and sells for $16 each.  A good quality 100 watt lamp with 20 min max exposure time is the first one listed here, the Real Sun XX model is only $10 and is a high quality, good value tanning bed lamp for your home or commercial unit and you will be more than pleased with the performance and color this lamp offers.

We recommend that all tanning salons own a UV Light Meter to be able to monitor lamps for maintenance and proper operation, know exactly how your tanning bed lamps age and when is the right time to change your tanning bulbs. A tanning bed lamp UV light meter or tester can be purchased here for $145, including shipping to US and is free with any of our new tanning salon packages of 4 beds or more.
