Oh filthy. Can't even see if there's lamps in there. Wanna buy a package?

Hahah kidding. Uhmmm there is some dust up in derrrr.

Drew · 30th May 2007, 09:32 PM

mmmmm, if a meter geek thread can turn this way,,,,,

How dirty are they?

Please tell me just what a dirtygirl you are

SandiGirl · 7th September 2007, 08:20 PM

So I relamped my Tanses TX52 (160W R) and did a reading. It jumped up to 80 in the first minute then was fluctuation around 65 and then down a bit. When I went for a tan I took the meter with me and it was reading 40. I think my meter is drunk.

Din · 7th September 2007, 08:27 PM

Yup.....or dirty. Lick your finger and rub, apply pressure to the nipple to get it clean.

Of the meter i mean.......uhmmm....yeah.

solarmeter® · 8th September 2007, 09:00 AM

All meters are born sober. Have you been breast-feeding it?

Actually... your new lamps are drunk. Their readings will stagger around up or down until their mercury balls quit swirling. They "burn in" or stabilize after a few dozen hours. Then take your "new" readings.

Din · 8th September 2007, 10:08 AM

I like my theory better.

SandiGirl · 8th September 2007, 02:50 PM

Okay, I'm going now......so sad it won't be 80.

SandiGirl · 8th September 2007, 03:27 PM

Okay, people keep using that bed. But the 32 lamp 100W R is reading 31.5 and the facials are 41.6 after 5 minutes.

SandiGirl · 8th September 2007, 04:05 PM

The 160W Rs are reading 64.1 @ 5 minutes.

That's tanin'. Those numbers are no slouch.

SandiGirl · 21st April 2008, 05:11 PM

Will there be much more difference if I let it go longer than 5 minutes?

Din · 21st April 2008, 05:14 PM

no...

SandiGirl · 21st April 2008, 05:41 PM

Okay.

SandiGirl · 21st April 2008, 05:42 PM

I don't think anyone said what the average 32 - 100W reflector reading should be.

Din · 21st April 2008, 05:59 PM

they are all different. Mine reads 38-39....others read 32-34 some people have theirs read 20-24

but from most that i hear they are in the low to mid 30's. That's for the non-Tanses beds.

Tanses i find read higher than most beds.

SandiGirl · 21st April 2008, 06:04 PM

Your 100W reflectors read that high?

Mine read 31 I think when I put them in and I just got 22. Seemed low to me.

Din · 21st April 2008, 06:07 PM

sorry....mine are NON reflectors...so they aren't as strong as the reflector ones. If i put reflectors in, it'll bump up a few more points.

they are 32 x 100w non reflector lamps.

when they are new they read 38-39.....after about 400-500 hours they were in the low 30's after about 750hours + hey are in the high 20's. heck...if everyone else start at the high 20's and degrade from there...maybe i should leave the lamps in them for like 2000 hours since they perform that well.

SandiGirl · 21st April 2008, 06:11 PM

What lamps are those?

Din · 21st April 2008, 06:13 PM

The dual lamps (pink/blue) built in gimmick facials, dual phosphorus ones that people say don't work.....

Private Labelled FOCUS.....Made by Voltarc.

SandiGirl · 21st April 2008, 06:18 PM

Hmmmm I have Voltarcs in there now.
