TRANSCRIPT
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
