Most lay down tanning beds have these "squares" cut out of the long tube type lamps. These are called "facials"... and
behind the blue glass, they hold a short, fat, high pressure bulb
similar to the one pictured here. The glass is a special "blue filter" glass designed to diffuse the high wattage bulbs, which are usually 400 watts, but 500w, 1000w, and even 2000 watt bulbs
and tanning systems exist. Keep in mind the
benefit of a facial bulb is that it emits
only UVA light, not the harmful UVB rays which are
heavily regulated. This means this tanning lamp
is a 100% bronzing device however, you must have
melanin present in your top layer of skin to see any
results from a session with high pressure facial bulbs
ONLY in a tanning bed. In other words, you must
have a "base tan" before reaping the benefits of this
bulb. Most dermatologists recommend covering the
face when you tan and manufacturers have installed a
"on-off" switch to help you regulate the length of
time you expose your face to 100% UVA light. In
a tanning salon's three or four level system, each
level of tanning beds will have more and more of these
high pressure facial lamps until you reach the
"high
pressure tanning bed" level, like the UV Scan 360
pictured below, which has only these type of lamps.
Read About High Pressure Tanning Beds Here:
Tanning salons usually have 3-4 levels of tanning beds...
including level 1 beds which are usually the 20 minute "starter" beds, level 2 are 15 minute beds with 100 watt bulbs, and level 3 tanning beds are the 10-12 minute beds with
some combination of 160 watt
bulbs. Finally, level 4 beds and higher are the "high pressure" class. The term high pressure indicates the bulb was manufactured under pressure and will explode when broken, so be careful
with these. A level 1,2,3 or 4 bed may contain high pressure facial bulbs, which look like a 12 inch square of "blue filter glass" which helps diffuse this powerful light. When a tanning bed contains
ONLY these high pressure bulbs is it considered a true high pressure tanning bed.
