The Need For Installing Spray Tanning Equipment

By Haywood Hunter


A spray tanning equipment is also sometimes called tanning bed, sunbed, or sun tanning booth or bed. It is a device that gives off UV beams used in the creation of cosmetic tans on the body. The ultraviolet rays can be of either grade B or A. Grade A is employed to a maximum of 97 percent. Grade B gets used to a limit of 3 percent with margin error of positive or negative three percent.

Regular tanning devices comprise many fluorescent lights that may contain phosphor blends. These lights are designed to give off ultraviolet beams in a spectrum equivalent to the sun. Small, household devices normally incorporate 12 to 28 lamps each of 100 watts while the big models utilized in cosmetic salons comprise up to 60 lights. Each light gives off 100-200 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 undesirable effects that accompany the use of these appliances. They result from over exposure to the UV rays. The main effects are mutation, cataracts, suppression of the immune system, premature aging, and skin cancer among many others. Because of these effects, World Health Organization WHO, discourage people from utilizing the equipment for beautification reasons. The UV A beams applied in most gadgets causes Melanoma, the deadliest type of skin cancer.

As a safety mechanism, one should always wear goggles to prevent a condition known as arc eye or snow blindness. Devices, which incorporate timers, are helpful in helping to evade over exposure to UV radiations. This means that one should be careful to get out once the time elapses. Injuries have been sustained by users who fall asleep while inside the machine. This is risky and may result into multiple problems.

There is research that indicates that the appliances can become addictive. Users always want to continue using them even if they are aware of the risk. This normally occurs to people who own residential systems in their homes and utilize them whenever they feel like without any advisement.

The device should be properly maintained to keep it functional. One needs to hire a professional technician to examine the machine ones after a given while to ensure that no likely dangers exist. All power input systems ought to be functional and all lights should be operational. If one fails to maintain the gadget working well, dangerous eye and skin conditions are likely to result.

Spray tanning equipment appears in various dimensions to accommodate individuals of different sizes. The height is usually a standard measure across almost all makes. Prices keep going down as more companies invest into the industry causing competition that is only countered through cost reduction measures.
