Health Canada implemented the 15 kJ/m^2 (15,000 J/m^2) annual dose limit last year for our friends up north. Vendors now have to "post" on the label of sunbeds (new & used) sold in Canada how many sessions it will take the unit to equal 15 kJ/m^2.

The "thinking" vendors and salon owners are all switching to new-era lamps (because shorter sessions that still deliver the required "tanning power" are better) and once the Province's start enforcing this rule, you'll see even more going from traditional to new-era lamps.

It's interesting to note that both the vendors and salon owners who have embraced new-era lamps are enjoying much better years than those who haven't.
