Ahhh I think you have all lost it. High Pressure is based on the type of lamp REGARDLESS of what brick wall is in front of it for a filter. That's like saying a diesel engine isn't a diesel engine cause it doesn't SOUND like one.

I UNDERSTAND that some clueless fools think that HP facials means the bed is HIGH PRESSURE but a HIGH PRESSURE LAMP IS A HIGH PRESSURE LAMP.

Just like there is no MEDIUM PRESSURE lamp.

"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."

and THAT'S the trillion dollar statement right there that everyone seems to be forgetting.

A HP lamp with 2% UVB would NOT equal a LP lamp with 2% uvb. It would be more like 5% UVB LP lamp due to OVERALL OUTPUT of the HP lamp is MUCH MORE.

So, the HP beds with <1% UVB BETTER be putting out over 20000 on the 5.0 to get some response out of the tanners skin. Have JUST enough B to get things started and DRENCH the skin in UVA for MAX browning.

But, regardless of the output, HP = HP.
