A tanning bed or sunbed is a device emitting ultraviolet radiation (typically 95 UVA and 5 UVB, +/3) used to produce a cosmetic tan. Regular tanning beds use several fluorescent lamps that have phosphor blends designed to emit UV in a spectrum that is somewhat similar to the sun. Smaller, home tanning beds usually have 12 to 28 100 watt lamps while systems found in salons can run from 24 to 60 lamps, each consuming 100 to 200 watts.There are also high pressure tanning beds that generate primarily UVA with some UVB by using highly specialized quartz lamps, reflector systems and filters. These are much more expensive, thus less commonly used. A tanning booth is quite similar to a tanning bed, but the individual stands while tanning and the typical power output of booths is higher.

Sunless tanning (also known as self tanning, fake tanning, or UVfree tanning) refers to applying chemicals to the body to produce an effect similar in appearance to a more traditional suntan. Sunless tanning arose in response to links between sun exposure and skin cancer discovered in the 1960s, along with other alternatives to natural sun tanning such as the use of a sunbed or tanning bed.The most effective products available are sunless tanning or self tanning lotions and sprays that contain dihydroxyacetone (DHA) as the active ingredient. The tan is not a dye, stain or paint, but a chemical reaction between the DHA and the amino acids in the dead layer on the skin surface. citation needed] This is similar to a reaction well known to food chemists called the Maillard reaction.

Tanning beds are a good alternative that can be considered when one does not want to lie down under the sun for the whole day. Tanning beds are of two kinds - commercial tanning beds and the ones that are used in homes. Commercial tanning beds are equipped for use many times every day. On the other hand, home tanning beds are for those who want to get the tan but do not have the time to visit a tanning salon. So, one should first know if he or she wants to purchase it for their home or for a commercial purpose.
Tanning is one of the most common activities that many people enjoy. This can either be enjoyed by visiting a salon or at home if one has a tanning bed. However, it also has its negative effects. So, precautions should be taken for complete protection of skin and eyes of an individual.
Purchasing the right tanning bed is very essential. The tan depends on the quality of use of the bed one is using. It is advisable to do a thorough search and compare the different price options that are available in the market. There are various sites available online that can be visited for prices.
Before making the purchase, one should also be clear about the features that they are looking for and the money he or she wants to spend on their tanning bed. A better price can be availed when more than one bed is purchased by an individual.
UVB and UVA rays are one of the most important points of concern while purchasing a tanning bed. This is because; the ultraviolet rays that are given out by the tanning bed may lead to the aging of the skin prematurely due to the results of skin cancer and sun burn.
One may also feel unwell when the rays from the bed start to affect their immune system.
Wattage is another important feature that should be taken care of at the time of purchasing a tanning bed. Tanning beds have a high output or a very high output. For high output beds are required lamps of 100 watts and on the other hand, very high output beds make use of 168 watt tanning lamps. Unless one has any specific reason, it is enough to purchase a high output bed, as they can be purchased easily, re-lamping is comparatively cheaper.
Some of the high output beds may claim to give out high UVB rays, but it is better to avoid them as they will merely increase the threat of burning.
The cost and the durability of the lamp should also be enquired before the purchase of the tanning bed. The warranties that are offered with these tanning beds should also be considered while purchasing a tanning bed. It is also better to have some information about the maintenance of the bed you are purchasing to avoid any problems in future.
