TRANSCRIPT

Tanning Lamps Evolution From 2007 to present

Low Voltage Directive

Administrative Co-working Group

(LVD ADCO) decision:

Erythemally-weighted irradiance of

new sunbeds should not exceed

0.3 W/m2

by amending European EN60335-2-27

safety standard of sunbeds till

July 22, 2007

Lighttech has been strongly supporting the regulation

because it leads to more responsible tanning

practices.

Although the regulation does not concern lamps, but

sunbeds, the regulation can be best met by unique

lamp designs for the particular sunbeds.

Lighttech has developed series of unique lamp

solutions over the years which features optimized

tanning effect in sunbeds, while meeting LVD sunbed

irradiance level.

Low wavelength readings

‘The main emission lines are at UVC- wavelengths 185 nm, 254 nm, at UVB- wavelengths 297 nm and 313 nm, at UVA- wavelengths 334 nm and 365 nm and in the visible light at 404 nm, 436 nm and 577 nm…’

Tanning lamps went through major

improvement since 2007 and now they

provide more natural, gentle tanning
