Exactly also,that why run lamp your customer desire.Also any 160 watt
or stronger lamp that higher UVB than 4.0 except Com. Hi-Tan is not good
lamp,I think it worth extra money for better lamp you get extra hours,
with Solar meter my Com. VHR at 800hr. were still putting out 45 reading
with acylic in(Had lamps sitting since 600hr.,could waited longer!).Also 9K90 is not wasteing anything,that why H.P. style,and some not most
do get instant results,and type lotion useing is whole other combo
to think about,like tingle with most give's more instant result's besides
all these new lotion with instant bronzers also play into it.CIT I like come
back and like to talk.Send you my #.

The Sungate runs best with SigHP lamps. Bottom line. VHP lamps sucked and it wasn't me that had a stockpile of them. They lasted 100 hours of good output. Sighp's can be changed out at 400 hrs even running at 248 volts.

Sungate is cooled fantastic. Really well designed. They KNEW it would be the output of a Matrix so they cooled it appropriately.

PS. Don't EVER open the acrylic and run that bed. It will melt acrylics once the air flow is interupted. Ask Sparky about that. Me too, but I figured it out early enough to not have to buy a new one.

Lamps NOT to use in Sungate. Cosmedico. (low output) Phillips (burnouts)
Sig Series or Sig Plus (low output) New Technology (if you can find them, great lamps in normal voltage, not in high voltage, short life) VHP, short life. Sol Glass, (cant run high voltage)
Curious about Leifs new lamps. "Sunshine Vitamin" Lamp series. Supposed to be good, but haven't tried them yet. (hint)

You've stated what NOT to use....what do you recommend to be USED then. In even a high voltage 240+ that will still last long and not be low output. Why can't sol glass run on high voltage? You saying that if i were to go and get Sol Glass, and run them on my 200W standup with 240V that they won't work?

That's what i'm looking to get soon....so can you explain it a bit more..please. I'm wanting to alternate Sol Glass or 9k90's with something like a Phillips Advantage XPT 5.5% UVB.....what say you about this setup on 240V.

Thanks
Dean

Din - I has the Solglass in an Ergo 800 12 min. for 150 hrs. . At first they were pretty good. Then customers began to complain and go back to my 500 with Philips adv.

So I alternated Philips 808's with the Sol Glass. It got a little better , but not much. I think the problem I may have had was the Philips had about 300 hrs on them. I prefer to use these only up to 400 hrs.

I was told when you alternate, you should start with all new lamps. I'm not sure why though.

My next test will be 808's with Swift HP. I should have just bought a Sungate.
