There was some potential bad advice up there.

1. the 600 turbo can be 12 or 15 mins. Most all vhr lamps will work ok in it at 15.

But for 12 mins..you need to be smart.
I use the Supra VHOR lamps for a kick ass 12 min tan on that bed.
Super high uva with UNDER a 12 min 4 med tan.

The Sig HP's are a bit milder in the B but would also be good.

CosmoluxVHR or VHR TT are just not all that. I would never purchase those lamps ever.

For HP lamps...I am sure most people now know that the Radium lamps sold in the USA as "Supra" are the strongest and longest lasting lamps.

Personally, I don't care if it is just a facial lamp how strong it is...all facials are pretty strong if they are not 400 watt clip ins.

But for HP BEDS...go with the strongest lamps. The glass has solarized on any used bed and dropped down in uvb transparency...the extra B on the Supra's will bring it back up like new and the Supras just never burn out in under 1000 hours from all my experience.
