Which Tanning Lamp?

[CIT]

Which 160-R tanning lamp would have as much A (or even more) than 9k90 but more B?
Application: Ergoline Evo 500
Currently using 9k90.
BTW who knows AB specs for 9k90?

[Shane]

LSI A-Power

[John]

The LSI Signature Series HP VHOR is the lamp you are looking for. It has all the UVA of the 9k90, yet it has a kick more UVB.
Works great in 10-12 minute sessions.
I feel the 9k90 is best at 15 minutes.

John, what is your ext. in URI?

[northtanman]

uri is 800 247 3251

[Ed Staskus]

John's extension is 210.

[Drew]

I agree with the sighp...or try the sol glass. John will know which will work better in that boat anchor.

So you are using 9K90s... and receiving positive information about them in your posts... and yet ripping on others in their posts, denying the possibility that they are getting great results from these lamps? What gives?!?

Triste, you have so many names, maybe you should just log on as SYBIL !!

She's a wierd one all right. Brian took care of her(him?) on the other thread (LS).

She should head over to TanSquawk where they are always NICE... where everybody knows your name(s), and where someone named NEON will ban you if you're not 100% nice to smurfs.

There is big difference between getting great tanning results out of the lamp and get 1000 hrs life out of it. 9K90 is a great lamp. Is it great at 1000 hrs - i really doubt.
And I dont rip on anybody - just smelled something fishy it those posts.

I assume you think I am northtanman. I would think you would be able to tell by the writing style that I am a completely different individual, but apparently that went right over your head. This is the only screen name I have. But I feel obligated to stick up for my boss, who runs a great salon, who you all are calling liar. I was in the tanning business years ago, and am just getting back into it so there are things that are new to me. That doesn't make me a "weird one", it just means I have things to learn. But what I do know is I work in a great salon, that gives people great results. And IMHO that's a great start.

Oooh yeah, Brian really "took care of" me. If you want to know my one and only name is Trisha. I can be a f**king b**ch and enjoy it as much as anyone else, but I didn't think that was the point of this site... I came over here because I heard it was a good place to learn. I didn't realize the point of this site was to tell everyone else how stupid they are.... BTW... it's spelled 'weird' not 'wierd'.

[CIT]

triste4978,
please stop posting your defensive crap in both threads because everytime you do so everybody get e-mail that thread was updated and it is your useless crying. Most of the people so fed up with this "name changing" crap that even if you want to learn - nobody is going to talk to you because you are pissing everybody off right now.
And if you work for northtanman/jim@veranotan - go work: clean bed or something. Internet is not for employees. The threads you posting on right now are about sunlamps - so talk about sunlamps or shut the f!ck up.

[Din]

Triste,

This site is where Tanning Salon Owners come to talk about the industry and anything that is on their mind about tanning so they can help, to learn more about the industry and it's changes and to educate each other. This is not a site where employee's come on to back up their bosses. If your boss has an issue with something that was said, I'm sure they can express their opinions on here like everyone else does or they can contact a moderator if they have any issues. These are Salon Owners that opened their own business, put their own sweat and blood into building their businesses over the years....everyone has their own opinion, experiences and therefore come to their own conclusions from that.

If you guys want to talk about each other or battle out your differences, take it to the pub and knock yourself out....Now please get back on topic which is about sunlamps.

I apologize to those who have posted these threads that have gotten off track. I just want to point out, I'm not just an 'employee' and not just here to back up my boss. I am in line to possibly take over the business. So I am a Potential Tanning Salon Owner and so feel that I have a right to get a head start on learning. We don't have internet at our salon, I work 40 hours per week and am online at home off the clock. For the record, I haven't changed my name at all. So one guy changed his name once and there's a big friggin issue. I don't know why, but I bet probably due to technical difficulties as I have to reset my password quite frequently just to get in here. Again, I just want to send out an apology to the person who started the thread.

Anyway, I am sure I will get ridiculed for this, but we really like our Cosmolux 160 watt VHRs used in several of our upgrades. (I believe our standard beds have California Tan Helio 100watt 5% UVB)
Someone else mentioned Sol Glass, which I recently read about and think they sound very impressive.

[Drew]

You got some balls in that post so I will give you a pass.

But cosmolux vhr's are not even close to good lamps. (when compared to what is out there)

And "California Tan" lamps? Are they as good as the "soaking up the rays" lamps

Come on. Why buy PL lamps from CT unless you got them dirt cheap.?

Some balls? Nah... she just posted this:

I am sure that is true, but compared to everyone else in our little town, our lamps blow them all away. Granted I have never tanned at any of the other salons in town, but I do trust the feedback that we get from customers and employees that flock in here from other salons telling us how incredibly better we are than anyone else in town.

Okay, I'm going to have to sound stupid, but I don't know what that means?

I don't order the lamps, but that's possible. I am sure price is a factor in his purchasing decisions.

Okay, so I am going to throw in my 2 cents (okay so it's not worth nearly that much). It would be great to spend the money to have the very best of everything. The very best lamps, the very best beds. Upgrade everytime a new model comes out. (Sell off everything and buy new equipment everytime somebody on a forum tells you all your stuff is crap, LOL. J/K) Not always economically feasible, right? So try to research what your competitors are using and at least get what it takes to be the best in town. As money comes in, improve upon from there if need be to stay on top of your competitor. But unless you can afford it, don't try to swat a fly with a buick.

Anyway, is there even a clear consensus on what exactly is the very best lamp on the market? Just curious.

So I have hooters instead of balls. Let me tell ya, they're a lot less delicate.
