Default Which 100W-R lamp provides the best color and...

has a life of 5000 hours? Any suggestions? Okay, I am kidding about the 5000 hour life but I would like to hear some ideas or opinions. I have used everything from Bellarium S, Eurosun, Philips Cleo, Radiance 7000R and most recently the Rave 6573R. As you can tell, I like the kick of a reflector and my customers LOVE it. I forgot to mention that I used a Power Series lamp which I liked very much but my hardcore tanners hated them. Low UVB% on the Power Series lamp but it had tremendous tanning ability. The hardcore tanners did not like it because it did not make them red or pink and they feel like they have been cheated. Go Figure! Thanks

Shouldn't the HARDCORE tanners be upgrading to the 160W VHOR beds?
Cosmedico VLR ^^^What they said.

No one lamp will satisfy every customer. LS's Midday Sun R. is a good lamp but I would def. have a lower b lamp for the more fair.

I am not knocking the Rave lamps that I am presently using, they are still kicking at 650 hours. I am always looking for the next "HOT" lamp with a life.
My "hardcore tanners" are the ones who stay the max every day and would probably stay longer if I would let them. I am not degrading these people in any way.

Understood on the "only one type" of tanning lamp,I wanted salon owners experience with a certain brand, type,model, etc. which is valuable information for me to investigate further. It is like the "word of mouth" advertising which comes free, you just can't beat it!

Best bang for the buck: Rave lamp, Philips Advantage, Light Sources Midday or Beach Sun.
