Sunbed Bulbs
Home sunbeds are a great way of saving money on frequent trips to the tanning salon, and offer greater convenience. The modern models of sunbeds are extremely well designed and require very little upkeep. However, they do still require a small degree of maintenance and the most essential part of this is regularly replacing the sunbed bulbs.
The sunbed bulbs are vital in achieving a deep and even tan. The bulbs should be given a quick wipe with a damp cloth after every sunbed session as a build up of dust or tanning lotion can reduce the effectiveness of your sunbed by as much as 50%. Sunbed bulbs will also emit lower levels of UV over time. This means the bulbs may require changing even before they have burned themselves out. Depending on how often your sunbed is used, the bulbs should be replaced every 4 to 5 years. All bulbs should be replaced simultaneously to prevent uneven tanning.
As all bulbs require replacing at the same time, the cost can mount up. Therefore it is a great idea to source out the best deals online. There are many sunbed wholesalers on the internet who bulk buy replacement parts from the manufacture for a considerable discount. These savings are then passed on to their customers. You may also be able to get a good deal from local retail outlets. Buying direct from a manufacturer is generally the most expensive option for buying spare sunbed bulbs.
The downside for purchasing bulbs from an outlet other than a manufacturer is that you need to know which brands and types of bulbs of compatible with the make and model of your sunbed. Not all bulbs will work with it, and some can potentially be dangerous to your skin and health if they emit higher levels of UV than the bulbs that are suitable for your sunbed. If you do not know which bulbs to buy check the user manual you will have received with your sunbed. If you did not retain this information, most sunbed supply websites list which makes and models their products are compatible with, or you can consult the store where you purchased the sunbed. Alternatively, call the manufacturer for advice, and they may even replace your user manual free of charge. The manufacturing booklet is also essential if you are unsure about the correct way to replace the bulbs.
Proper care and maintenance of your home sunbed should be neither time consuming or difficult. Regular replacement of your sunbed bulbs is key to keeping it in good working order.
