All our new Tanning sunbeds are fitted with the new “safe tan” 0.3 compliant euro lamps!  Future relampng will mean our beds will eventually be 0.3 compliant, but at the time of publishing not all beds are 0.3. These will be clearly marked and clear instructions given to tan safely without burning.

So, what is the 0.3 sunbed lamp all about?
  The new 0.3 law generally means a sunbed should not exceed the UVB levels of that of the midday sun in the Mediterranean which happens to be 0.3 watts/m2 at 25cm from the source . The bottom line is, it is the LAW and all sunbed companies must comply or be in a process of doing so.  How does it effect the performance and tanning ? Firstly, tanning is a 2 part process the UVB produces the melanin (but also burns). The UVA turns melanin brown (but does not burn). So removing 70% of the UVB and pushing up the UVA means that the tanning takes a day or so longer to “kick in” and also you also need slightly longer sessions to achieve this. The good news is that it is much harder to burn and the end result is actually very good. The tan is in fact darker, deeper, longer lasting and looks more natural.  People must now understand that going red is not an indication that a sunbed is working.

Also, lamp manufactures are still in the process of developing the optimal performing lamp , for instance  a 0.3 lamp can measure 0.2 at 25 cm meaning the lamp can still be pushed so if you have tried a 0.3 bed and didn’t like it rest assured things will get better now that salons are showing interest in the lamp.
