This only helps all of us to bring attention to this new technology that has entered the market.

There should be other manufacturers on here also talking about the benefits of adding this service to a salon.

Per requests, We have posted our meter readings and have given our LED part numbers.

The more people that jump on this bandwagon the better it is.

By "sling mud" I guess I meant my perception of you asking 3-4 times for them to "show us your part number" when that isn't meaningful to almost any salon owner anyway (as I think Pumpkin pointed out). At this point, I think we all know you want them to post it, and they don't want to. At the same time, I think someone (Solarmeter Steve) asked you to post your readings at some particular point from the LED's and you didn't. So my interpretation is it is starting to read like a cat fight and losing it's value to the average salon owner trying to follow along.

Perhaps a new thread -- the benefits of Rejuvenation type therapy, as currently featured in Tan America, Prosun, ETS & ITS equipment (and others??). Tell salon owners WHY this is good, HOW it works, what successes your client salons have had, HOW to sell it alongside traditional tanning, etc. When I hear "jump on a bandwagon", as a salon owner I always ask "is this a good bandwagon for me as a salon owner? For my customers? Or just for the equipment salesperson?". Best when it is a win/win/win for all 3 of course!

I think more can be learned through that sort of discussion than the bickering over posting of LED part numbers.

Again - that is just my perception. While there were initially a few posts in this thread from salon owners, maybe about 85% of the total, almost all the recent one seem to be just vendors squaring off against each other. That was what I termed the "mud slinging" -- my terminology, whether exactly accurate or not.

Carry on as you see fit.
