I just recently changed out my bulbs to the Velocity Plus 100w bulb just wanted to see how people feel about them or if you know of a better bulb for instant color?

They are pretty much for beginners, serious tanners won't see much from them. They are about 4.3% UVB.

Most salons use a 5.0 or 6.5% lamp for entry level.

Is there a bulb that you would suggest. Someone told me the Genesis are good. I know they are 120 watts im not sure if i could use that in my bed.

Your ballast is only 100W, so no matter what lamp you put in there it will only run at 100W. There are so many better lamps on the market than the Velocity.

The Genesis is 5% & will work fine, the 120W is just BS marketing.

Try one of these if your looking for a faster, darker result
LSI Midday Sun
LSI Beach Sun
Philips Advantage
Cosmedico ESP

Thanks John. I just went to the website and ordered a catalog. Out of the ones you mentioned what do you think is the most powerful one and what is the cost per bulb?

HELLO, LAMPS NOT BULBS. The only thing in your salon that should be called a bulb is the lights in your bathroom.
