LSI lamps

[dcjjp1]

I am relamping my Sundash 232's and I really like LSI lamps. My problem is for this 15 minute application I want something with some punch (probably a 7.5) isn't that what a 15 min max should have?

I currently have AUVL's 6.0's in there and they kinda suck. They have just under 500 hours on them and they are super weak.

I read about LSI Beach suns which I think have 6.5 and something called Nevada Sun with a 7.5 also John talked about Aurora Gold's by LSI also, not too familiar with them.

Ideas??

Jeff,

The Beach Sun & Aurora Gold 120 are pretty much the same lamp, makes for a good 15 min or very strong 20 min.

The Nevada Sun (formally known as Desert Sun) is quite a bit stronger. It will be more of a 12 min to very strong 15 min session. This lamp has quite a bit of UVB, great for more experienced tanners but may be a bit much for beginners.

If you have a 32 lamp bed you could do the Beach Sun Reflector in the top & Beach Sun standard in the bench. That would be plenty at 15 minutes.

Hi Jeff,
The AUVL X6 lamps you are using are better suited for a 20min application. They should have sold you X7's for a 15min application. Johns recomendation makes a lot of sense and will certainly be better then what you are using now.

Put the Beach Sun Reflector in there and you will have a 10 min bed with new lamps....and it will be a legal 12 in about 50 hours.

In fact, the 26 lamp Genesis with 8.5 non reflectors in the bench and the 6.5 reflectors in the canopy will give you a 10 min session new too and drop down to 12 or 13 for a good couple hundred hours.

Sounds like the Beach Sun is the winner. John I called you today to get a quote, give me a call tomorrow..

Decided on the regular Beach Suns for the Sundash 232's. Can't wait to get them.

Whatever John says is the way to go. You'll never go wrong.
