need advice

I use ERS lamps which is a private label made by LightTech, but I don't have standup's. I'm checking out other lamps as they won't meet the 0.3 rule. Problem with MaxLight is that most last only 500h.
Do you have the 0.3 rule in Romania as well? If so, you'll never reach 9min sessions...

I think existing beds are grandfathered from the 0.3 rule... no?

Anyway... for 9 minutes to 4 MEDs (800 J/m² in EU) - you would need lamps "way" up over 1.4 W/m² Eeff (Ery).

The weak 0.3 x 9min x 60sec/min = only 162 J/m². If EU "allows" 800 J/m² max session time... it would take 2667 seconds or 44.4 minutes!!!!

See the little 0.30 W/m² reading on this Model 7.5 meter:



It would need to read a "whopping" 1.48 W/m² for 9 min (540 sec) to 800 J/m² Eeff.

The formula is W/m² x Sec = J/m² in case you want to do your own math.

We don t have that rule in Romania. not yet.

The 0.3 is a restriction for all new sunbeds on European level (starting from july 2007). Every member state can make their own laws regarding existing beds.

In most countries existing beds need to be 0.3 as well after a certain transition period. This is certainly true for Germany, The Netherlands, Belgium,... Spain and France already had an 0.3 restriction.
