Description
Equipped with a reflector directly inside the lamp for higher efficiency.
UV-Code : 80-R-27/2,4
0.8 % UVB
18 W/m2 UVA
800 burning hours
Suitable for all sunbeds with 80-watt lamps. These are often used in sun canopies with an HPA facial tanner.
Knowledge base:
There is no industry standard for determining the UVB percentage, although many companies still use this parameter to promote their lamps. This is a common method for "rating" tanning lamps, but as a ratio, it is insufficient to judge the tanning capacity or the effectiveness of a specific lamp. Essentially, it is not an accurate measure of actual performance.
Above is a simple chart showing two lamps. Both deliver the same amount of UVB, but very different amounts of UVA.
If we only look at the UVB% values, Lamp 1, with its higher UVB/UVA ratio, might be considered the stronger, more effective lamp. However, this is not true, as Lamp 2 has a lower UVB ratio because it emits more UVA.
An effective tanning lamp should have a well-balanced spectrum of UV light, delivering both UVA and UVB in the required amounts to achieve the desired effect. Adding more UVB usually creates a lamp that causes more "reddening" rather than a better "tanning" lamp.
Every tanning lamp needs just enough UVB to stimulate melanin production, and plenty of UVA to oxidize it and turn it brown. When using lamps that generate more UVB, it is recommended to keep exposure times quite short, as the chance of skin reddening is higher.
Through extensive research, Wolff System has developed unique phosphor blends to produce high-quality tanning lamps that are reliable and profitable for professional salons and can deliver excellent tanning results. Enjoy fewer UVA rays that are responsible for photoaging and make tanning safer for the skin.
UVA
is radiation in the wavelength range of 315-400 nm. It is primarily responsible for what is known as an "immediate tan," because as it passes through the skin, it darkens existing pigment. A tan is visible immediately after the tanning session.
UVB
is radiation in the wavelength range of 280-315 nm. It is responsible for the actual tan, also known as "delayed pigmentation." UVB radiation stimulates the melanogenesis process, which is the formation of new pigment in the skin, and therefore results will be noticed later. UVB also influences the synthesis of vitamin D in the body.
Erythemal Irradiance
is a value that indicates the ability of light to cause sunburn (for UVA, UVB, and their combinations). It is expressed in W/m2.
Lifespan
is the length of time until the product is no longer considered effective. Most lamp manufacturers define their guaranteed lifespan as effective operating time. In most cases, the lifespan is the time until the moment when the lamp provides approx. 20-30% of its nominal power. The time stated by the manufacturers assumes that the lamp is used under optimal conditions. Please note that this is an estimated value and does not exclude individual deviations that may occur due to a number of factors, including the temperature in the device, ventilation efficiency, etc.
