Being happy with your tanning bed doesn't end with the purchase of the bed itself. Like an owner of a professional tanning salon, you still need to worry about the maintenance of your equipment. Such a device costs a pretty penny, and you need to take care of it so that you get a good return on your investment. If you want your bed to last, invest in good tanning bed parts as well.
If you get a good tanning product model, you won't have to worry about replacing your tanning bed parts every so often. But just to be on the safe side, set aside a little extra cash for replacement parts. Keeping a good stock of replacement parts will serve you well in cases of emergency. It'll also help you save up on electricity, which we all know that tanning beds could eat up a great deal of.
Dim bulbs of any kind tend to cause a great deal of inconvenience. Regular bulbs, when worn out, harm the eyes, which would be a real no-no in a workplace or a home office. You need to replace regular bulbs immediately when they've worn out, don't you? Well, a similar principle applies to bed bulbs. Dimmer tanning bed bulbs may not be especially harmful, but you will need to spend more time on the bed than usual just to get the tan you want. This means spending more time and electricity than you were initially prepared to. Having your bulbs wear out in the middle of an important tanning session simply wouldn't do.
Usually you can get the best replacement parts for your tanning bed from your manufacturer. There are some generic bulbs, electric cord timers and acrylic parts available in the market, but the ones that fit your bed best may only be available from the dealers from whom you bought the product. This is why it would be beneficial to buy from a reliable dealer, one who's been around for some time, and is likely to stick around. Your dealer should also be able to advise you about good trade-in deals or alternatives in case the parts you need become discontinued.
A common concern for first-time owners of large health and beauty equipment such as tanning beds is the high cost of purchase and maintenance. You don't have to worry about this if you keep a close eye on good deals. Clearance and holiday sales may be the best times to stock up on tanning bed parts.
Tanning Bed For Home
With the costs of tanning salons on the rise, many people are opting to buy their own tanning bed. You may think this to be ridiculous, considering that the cost of a tanning bed can be several thousands of dollars, however if one adds travel time, gas, and membership monthly costs over a few years it can add up. If you can afford the cost of all these things, you should be able to afford the monthly costs of financing a tanning bed for home use.
Home use tanning beds usually run off of a 220v or 120v power supply, and come in two basic designs. The most popular design continues to be in the horizontal flavor. These tube-like tanning beds are also called capsules or clamshells. They usually consist of a lid and bench portion that are lined with tubular ultraviolet lamps, with the bench portion "contoured" to comfortably fit the body. Just like you see in commercial use tanning beds, there is also a timer, cushions, and sometimes a fan to keep you cool.
Vertical tanning beds are becoming quite popular also. The basic design of standing tanning beds are the same as a horizontal one in that the walls of the unit is lined with UV lamps. Usually vertical standing tanning beds use much more efficient bulbs and provide more surface area for UV lamps to fit, so a tanning session in a standing unit can be up to twice as fast as a standard unit.
Another option is the portable tanning beds for home use. These canopy styled beds are usually on a wheeled support structure, that can be mounted on a canopy over your favorite beach towel or deck chair. Although these types of tanning beds aren't as "effective" as a standing or clamshell unit, they usually make up for it in price. Expect to save nearly 50% when purchasing a portable tanning bed.
