Ultraviolet Tanning Light Bulbs

Ultraviolet Tanning Light Bulbs

Can the bulbs in a tanning bed whiten your teeth?

yeah, i'm pretty skeptical about it but, my friends dentist told her that if she smiled or showed her teeth in the tanning bed that it would whiten her teeth-since the ultraviolet light is the same that the dentists use for teeth whitening. i asked her one day if she was whitening her teeth and she said no and told me what her dentist said (they did look a little whiter). so, as i asked before, can the bulbs in a tanning bed whiten your teeth?

Wow, I never heard of that so I was wanting to know also.
There is a drawback if it does in fact whiten the teeth.
It can damage your gums.
Look at this site for more detailed info. Good ? BTW...

Ultraviolet $20.66 Rated: NRSynopsis: The vampire legend's gothic trappings are stripped away in Ultraviolet, a six-episode British TV series that brings a distinctly modern slant to an oft-told tale. The setup is accomplished in the first episode, where homicide detective Michael Colefield (Jack Davenport) is recruited into the CIB, an elite and exceedingly covert high-tech government agency dedicated to battling vampires. Colefield's new CIB colleagues include an ex-medical researcher (Susannah Harker), an ex-military man (Idris Elba), and a Catholic priest (Philip Quast). These new comrades in arms are grim, scarred by past vampire encounters and ruthless in their persecution of the undead. While Ultraviolet's vampires eschew tradition and have no apparent fangs, they do bear a few familiar traits. They have no reflection in mirrors, they are immortal, and, of course, they drink human blood. The key to the series' unusual flavor is the absence of supernatural explanations: These vampires are biological parasites, and while the CIB fights to protect mankind from falling one rung down the food chain, the vampires are well-organized, well-funded, and use bioengineering to protect their food supply. Ultraviolet is a heady mix of quickly cut scenes and rat-a-tat dialogue, with the big picture coalescing at a gradual but enticing pace. And while each episode contains some stand-alone material, there is an overall story line that builds toward a firm resolution, making the series especially potent when viewed in order and in its entirety. The two-DVD set contains plot synopses, character profiles, and a glossary of the series' unique jargon, all of which adds greatly to an understanding of the show's complex world. And for those who are left hungry for more of Ultraviolet, there is also an interview with the series' writer-director, Joe Ahearne, who explains, among other things, why only six episodes were made. Gregory BairdThis futuristic British miniseries began when the best friend of Det. Sgt. Michael Colefield (Jack Davenport) suddenly vanished from the altar at his own wedding. Though told not to investigate, Michael unearthed evidence that his pal had transformed into a vampire. This led the hero to a secret government organization, working in cahoots with the Catholic Church to rid the world of a vampiric scourge, using SWAT team tactics and state-of-the-art computer technology (those infected with vampirism could be detected with computer-generated ultraviolet light). Somewhat perversely, the modern-day bloodsuckers tried to maintain their respectable cover by actively supporting charities and worthwhile causes, thereby coming off somewhat more sympathetically than their relentless pursuers. One of the more intriguing aspects of this six-part series was the refusal by the authorites to make any direct reference to vampires; their quarry was always described as "Code 5" or "Leeches."

Tanning Bed $70.1 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.

Ultraviolet (Paperback) $31.63 One of the most ubiquitous items of the 1960s and 1970s, the black light poster represented some of the most imaginative, colorful, and "out there" creativity of the period; Ultraviolet is the first book to ever celebrate this alternative art form. Daniel Donahue, an amateur historian of counterculture, has collected hundreds of vintage blacklight posters and chosen 69 of the best for this volume.

An overview Fluorescent Tubes

Fluorescent tubes are used for lighting in many different settings. They are most common in places such as schools, offices, factories and shops where large spaces need to be lit effectively.

Easily recognisable, Fluorescent tubes are generally between 3-8 ft long in most applications and have a diameter of around 3-4cm. Where they appear, they are found in large numbers. At work/college/school now? Look up. Fluorescent tubes.
The initial cost of Fluorescent lamp tubes is higher than that of incandescent lamps but this initial cost is offset with the lower energy consumption and longer life of the tubes.

Fluorescent tubes work differently than incandescent lights. Fluorescent tubes work by using electricity to excite mercury vapour which creates short-wave ultraviolet light. This in turn causes a phosphor to fluoresce creating visible light. On the other hand, incandescent lights work by passing electricity through a thin filament, which heats the wire, causing it to glow and produce light. The glass bulb prevents oxygen from reaching the hot filament, causing it to oxidise.

Other than their life span (which is upto 20 times longer than that of an incandescent light) and lower energy consumption, Fluorescent tubes emit a more diffuse light than incandescent lights which distributes light more evenly without point source of glare. Fluorescent tubes also give off up to 75% less heat than an equivalent incandescent installation.

However, despite all the positives, there can be a health risk posed by Fluorescent tubes and they must be handled and disposed of correctly to minimise these risks. When a Fluorescent tube is broken, a tiny amount of mercury is released into the air. Larger amounts of mercury can cause tremors, emotional changes, headaches, and changes in nerve responses. While not worth worrying about too much, it is worth noting since we all like nothing better than breaking expired fluorescent tubes on the back of our friends’ legs when they aren’t looking.

When a Fluorescent Bulb is broken, the glass shatters into tiny fragments which can be a hazard and must be disposed of correctly to avoid glass splinters. Glass splinters are painful and can cause infection if left untreated.

Aside from the usual lighting applications, types of Fluorescent tubes have been created for specific use in tanning beds. These tubes have a different blend of phosphors than the ones used in lighting situation, typically containing between 3 and 5 more phosphors. These lamps  give off an amount of UVA and UVB light provoking a tanning reaction on human skin.

Have you ever been to an amusement park? Did you go in the Ghost house and notice your white laces were glowing and there was a funny stain on your friend’s jeans? This is down to another type of Fluorescent tube, the ‘Black Light’. Black lights work the same as standard fluorescent tubes although they are coated with a special phosphor which converts short wave UV light to Long wave UV rather than light which is visible to the human eye. Beware though, insects are drawn to UV light so I wouldn’t have one in your bedroom unless you like spiders.
