Im not in a regulated state.Mysolaris 42 has beachsunreflectors on top with equator suns in bench less than 300 hrs,clients bitch say they are not getting anything.Educating these morons has been quite the task bout ready to throw in the towel.Has anyone ever put nonreflector in a bed that had reflectors? I have considered putting HITANS in there.Im located in ky so I NEED to redden em bitches up.Thanx as always for your input.

Desert Sun Reflectors will do that for you. No need to get non reflectors.

Talk to John at URI you may want to try Hereaus 20/100r or 23/100r not sure if they make the last one I mentioned but I would guess they do.

The Beach Sun Reflector is already as hot, if not hotter, than the Hi Tan.

You should check your voltage & get it up around 235 if it isn't there already.

That particular bed had to be bucked down to 230 ets protocal.Bench is desert suns not equator.Lamps are smoking hot,but clients dont want a pretty golden tan,they want burnt toast.Any other choices for vlr with high uvb,besides vlrtt?

First off VLR™ is a trademark of Cosmedico.

VLR is weak (2.7% UVB), it is a 20 minute reflector lamp, great for bronzing.
The VLR TT is also not high UVB (3.2% UVB), it is a nice 15 min bronzing lamp.

The Beach Sun Reflector (6.5%) is much stronger than the VLR TT

Thanx John, Ijust used the term vlr because reflector was to long a word,Im getting ready to relamp base beds,maybe that is the solution,since I use the solaris as one of the upgrades does that make sense? thanx again susie sun

So would this be considered a bronzing lamp or a reddening? Will this give a nice bronze tan??????

no...not really. Even a 5.0 reflector will be a bit nasty for lighter skin types.

funny, since this was on another thread....but non new era lamps for the vlr replacement would be a morning sun reflector....a better lamp would be the sighp 100w reflector

From other companies....the 9k90vlr
or the Phillips Professional
