The Need For Installing Spray Tanning Equipment

By Haywood Hunter


A spray tanning equipment is also goes called sun tanning booths or bed, tanning bed, or sunbed. It is an appliance that gives off UV radiation used in creating a cosmetic tan on human bodies. The ultraviolet radiation can be of grade B or A. Ultraviolet grade A is utilized to a maximum of ninety seven percent. UV grade B is used to a maximum range of 3 percent with a margin error of plus or minus three percent.

Regular tanning devices incorporate many fluorescent lamps, which have phosphor blends. The lamps are meant to emit ultraviolet in a spectrum that is similar to that of the sun. Smaller, residential devices normally contain 12 up to 28 lamps of 100 watts each whereas the bigger models found in tanning salons may consist up to 60 lamps. Each lamp emits 100 to 200 watts of power.

There also exists sunbeds called high pressure, which produce UV grade A and grade B using reflector systems, specialized quartz lamps, and filters. However, their use is limited because of high cost. The main difference between beds and booths is that in beds, users lie down whereas in booths they stand during the tan-forming process. Booths have a greater power output as compared to beds too.

There are some bad effects connected to the application of these appliances. The effects result because of over exposure to ultraviolet radiation. The main effects include suppression of the body immune system, mutation, cataracts, skin cancer, and premature aging among others. Because of these, the WHO world health organization discourage people from using the equipment for cosmetic reasons. The UVA beams utilized in most gadgets is capable of causing Melanoma, the most dangerous kind of skin cancer.

As a safety precaution, one ought to always wear goggles in order to evade a condition called arc eye commonly known as snow blindness. Models, which include timers, help in evading over exposure to UV beams. This means that the user should be careful enough to evacuate the equipment the time reaches. Users who fall asleep while inside the machine always sustain serious injuries. This is unsafe and may result in multiple problems.

There is research which indicates that these appliances can be addictive. People always want to keep using them even if they know that they may be risking their lives. This normally happens to people who have their own systems in the house and use them whenever they want without any advisement.

The equipment should be maintained properly to keep it functioning well. One needs to get a qualified technician to inspect the machine ones in a while to make sure that no potential dangers exist. All lights should be operational and all power input systems should be functional. Failure to make sure that the appliance functions properly is risky and may result in dangerous skin and eye conditions.

Spray tanning equipment comes in various sizes to accommodate people of different weights. The height is normally a standard measure running across almost all models. Prices keep falling as more companies venture into the industry leading to competition that can only be countered through price reduction measures.
