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 particular lamp. Essentially, it is not an accurate measure of actual performance.
Above is a simple chart featuring two lamps. Both deliver the same amount of UVB, but very different amounts of UVA.
If we look only 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 must 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 results in a "redder" lamp, 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 time 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 capable of delivering excellent tanning results. Enjoy fewer UVA rays that are responsible for photoaging and make tanning safer for the skin.
UVA
is radiation in the 315-400 nm wavelength range. It is primarily responsible for what is known as an "immediate tan," because as it passes through the skin, it darkens the existing pigment. A tan is immediately visible right after the tanning session.
UVB
is radiation in the 280-315 nm wavelength range. 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 the 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 the lamp delivers approx. 20-30% of its nominal power. The time stated by 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 inside the device, ventilation efficiency, etc.
