Rule of thumb for A/C:
300 BTU of cooling per lamp or,

.5 tons per regular bed 100W 28-32 lamps average.
1 ton per Mid range VHR or standup. 34-40 lamps average.
1.5 tons per huge VHR 50 or more lamps.
3 tons per HP unit.

These values are on top of the A/C needed for your space requirements for how many square ft. your space is as if it was not a tanning salon. That is usually 3 to 4 tons on average.
