Dr. Phil U:

What do you mean? They would all have less percent UVB than the tubes do... yes indeed. But they could very well have more amount of UVB than the tubes do.

Or did you mean they ARE TRUE HP? In that case I agree - just not "traditional" SunSport style HP. Depends on the definition of what "true" is... in one's mind.

In my mind... FACIAL HP lamps should always have less percent and amount of UVB than body lamps - be they hybrid tubes OR full high pressure. There used to be a poster named Tara@JA who would never use a bed that didn't have ("normal") HP facials. She needed less B to go along with the increased A for her particular face to avoid burning.
