10 minute tan in a 12 minute bed?

[bronzecafe]

I'm putting a Heartland Crimsun (48 x 160watt/ 2000watt facial) in one of our salons and due to competition I need to run this bed as a 10 minute max exposure bed (It's originally a 12 min bed). Any recommendations on what to lamp this bed with that will really shock and awe the customers? Some of you out there have 10 minute beds, what are they lamped with?

The problem you will have will be the facials. That bed I believe has 4 x 500watt facials. You can put a "stronger" tube lamp in the bed but there is nothing you can really do about the facials. If you run that bed at 10 minutes you will under deliver. Why not run it at 12 minutes and put stronger lamps in it? Now you will really wow your customers. Are your customers asking for a 10 minute tan? Most would rather spend 2 extra minutes and get better results.

"We do not offer a ten minute bed but we do have a 12 minute bed that will outperform their 10 minute bed and give you better results"

I didn't even think about the facials, thanks. What lamp do you prefer in a bed like this, if run in a 12 minute exposure?

PM me and I will give you a couple of suggestions.

Try some stronger higher end New Technology lamps.
