Tanning lamps sometimes called as tanning bulbs in the United States, but in Europe these tanning lamps called as tanning tubes. The tanning lamps are the part of a tanning bed, booth or other tanning device which produces ultraviolet light responsible for tanning. There are two basic groups of the tanning lamps: low pressure and high pressure. Within the industry, it is common to call high pressure units “bulbs” and low pressure units “lamps“. Both types of the tanning lamp require an oxygen free environment inside the lamp.
The primary purpose of the tanning lamps is to create a suntan by means other than exposure to the sun. The quality of the tan depends upon the spectrum of the light that is generated from the lamps. This is accomplished in a tanning bed, tanning booth, tanning canopy or free standing single bulb tanning unit.
As the best choice for your tanning bed, these tanning lamps want you to have a good bed which is only as good as its lamp.

Using a high-quality and appropriate lamp is essential for the life of your bed - and the safety of whom is tanning within it.
A tanning lamp may be the lamp bulb used that emits UV light. The UV light is created inside the lamp and is used to evoke the melanin production in melanocyte cells. It takes only five minutes under a tanning lamp to create the same effect as two hours in the sun. This is why tanning lamps in tanning beds are so popular.
Fluorescent tanning lamps require an electrical ballast to provide power. They are plasma devices, like a neon sign, and will flow as much power as you make available to them, even to the point of self destruction. Thus a ballast is needed to regulate the amount of electricity that flows to them.
Tanning lamps are responsible for only a tiny fraction of a percentage of common pollution problems. To recycle, reduce and reuse whenever possible of the tanning lamps are still everyone’s responsibility. Cleartech lamps last up to 1600 hours in average use. This means you change lamps about half as often, and cut your disposal by 50%. Of course, the most important role of keeping mercury and heavy metals out of the landfill (and eventually, the water supply) falls upon you, the salon owner. Never throw tanning lamps in the dumpster, always take them to your local hazardous waste facility.
