FAQ's
Q: How do I know how long a lamp will last?
A: Lamp manufacturers have a Rated Lifetime for their lamps, a figure based on lab tests performed in ideal conditions.
Hint: A lamp's useful tanning life is approximately 70% of the rated lifetime.
Q: How do I maximize the life of my lamps?
A: Excess heat is a lamp's biggest enemy. Heat damage will cause a lamp to degrade faster, not meet maximum tanning potential, and lower life.
Q: What causes excess heat and how can I fix it?
A: Excess voltage, poor ventilation, not enough air conditioning, debris build-up, small room, or failed fans are possible causes of excess heat. See the excess heat chart below in the Tips section.
Q: Is there anything else that will maximize my lamps' tanning potential?
A: Making sure your acrylics are not blocking UV transmission. Clean reflective panels (if applicable) periodically. This keeps them free from build-up. Replace starters at every other lamp change. Excludes electronic starters. See the excess heat chart below in the Tips section.
