Tanning Lamps: The Two Kinds Of Lamps Suitable For Tanning

There are two kinds of tanning lamps available for sale: “UVA and UVB” and “UVA only”. Of course, there are dozens of different company names and models, but all of them fall into one of these categories. You can spend a lot of time researching which manufacturer has cheaper or better tanning lamps. However the most important choice is still only between the two main categories: “UVA and UVB” and “UVA only”.

1. Time you have to spend to get your tan: The first difference people usually notice when using “UVA only” tanning lamps, is the amount of time required to get the basic tan. While old “UVA and UVB” lamps needed over twenty minutes’ long sessions, “UVA only” lamps shorten that time by a half, or even more. In some cases 2 or 3 minutes’ session is long enough.

2. Risks of a tanning lamp:

“UVA only” tanning lamps are much safer than their elder brothers. The chance of getting sunburned or harming your eyes is much lower than in case of “UVA and UVB” lamps. However, bear in mind that the risk still exists, even when you use the newer “UVA only” models.

3. Price of a tanning lamp:

The only strong point of “UVA and UVB” tanning lamps is their low price. They are sometimes as much as twice cheaper than “UVA only” models. However if you consider the risk of getting sunburned or developing skin cancer unacceptable, “UVA only” tanning lamps are the only solution.
