For some fast bronze color try the LSI Signature Series HP VHOR or the Wolff Bronzing Sun HPK90 Plus is also decent for 12 minutes.
For more immediate color try the Heraeus Magic Sun 20/160R or the SLI Pure Power 3.5 VHOR will also give some fast color.

i've had extremely good luck with cosmolux 9k90's in my ergo 650 but switching now to a set of the lightsource lamps with a little more kick. i run mine at 12 minutes too. URI is a great company! so is supra and robert with solar elements. all are great people. shop around.

How much do you pay for your Light Sources lamps?

I like the 9k90 for 15 minute units. The Sig HP gives much better results in 12 minutes.

and better yet..the Supra VHR lamps. They outpoint both the 9k90's and the Sigs in UVA output, and like someone pointed out...the 9k's are only 12 min lamps when brand new....then 15 mins is needed.
The Supras will make that bed do 4meds in 10.5 mins which is better than you ever thought it would do.

Good lamp but more of a traditional VHR. Little higher in the B.

Take Drew's advice and re-lamp with the Supra's. You will be very impressed!

The 23/160R is great for more experienced tanners. Higher UVB, more of a 10 minute session. Gives more immediate color. Compared to the Sig Hp's or 9K90's which give a more delayed reaction, seeing peak color in 6-8 hrs after session.
