      My wife wants to get a tanning bed and I was trying to search for comparisons but couldn't find anything. She's lookin at a Solar Storm Model 24C. Any of you know anything about these things?

      2499, but it's a commercial version and we were planning on letting a couple of close people use it for a small $ to cover the power and help pay for it.

      My parents got a Wolfe back in 95' - it still works great. It's turned yellow over the years but it does the job and they were one of the best value's back then.

      Default Re: Tanning beds

      First off, I would buy a bed from a tanning salon that going out of business or something. A tanning bed is like a floressent light, the all work about the same, it's the bulbs that make the difference. The only thing there every really goes out on them is the ballast or the cooling fan, which aren't very expensive. I used to manage a tanning salon back in ATL that was owned by Sunal. They make great beds. The best thing to do is get a decent quality used bed for a low price, put a new ballast, cooling fan and good qality bulbs in it and you are set. The bulbs make all the difference when it comes to tanning beds. You can have the best bed on the market, but if you put in average bulbs you get average results. However, on the flip side, you can get an average bed and put in very good bulbs and get very good results. Don't skimp on the bulbs because that makes all the difference. And, if it was me, you are better off buying a used commercial grade bed and upgrading than to buy a new home bed. Commercial products just last longer. It's like cardio equipment. You are always better off buying commercial grade because it would last for a very long time in a home. But, with tanning beds, the only two things that really every go bad are the ballast and the cooling fans, so I would get a good used bed and just upgrade stuff. Then put in some top grade bulbs and you will be set. By your bulbs in bulk so they cost less. And, you won't have to guy bulbs for a few years is you buy bulk. The bulbs will tell you how many hours they can last so if it's just you and some friends, good quality bulbs will last a long time.

      I used to sell tanning beds and bulbs. Wolf is a top of the line company. Very good quality, and excellent reputation. As for bulbs get reflector bulbs as they assist with getting rid of odd tan lines that standard bulbs give you.

      Another thing......You can buy bulbs that are blems (discolored a tad) but have no effect on their tanning ability for literally 50-75% off regular price. Just something to think about.

      As for lotion Swedish Beauty is the best. Or atleast was when I used to sell this stuff.

      oooooooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhh dude I feel your pain! I've done that a couple of times. One time it was so bad I was literally bed ridden for three days. I had to take off from work and everything. Not a fun experience by any means. Needless to say I don't go tanning anymore.

      I just hope I don't get skin cancer later in life for such a stupid reason!
