If you're like many of us and just have to have that
suntan whether it's August or January then you should
seriously think about buying a home tanning bed. Home
tanning beds are a great investment.
You can purchase home tanning beds
online, from salons that are upgrading, from many
retail outlets, and sometime out of your local papers
classified ads.
The prices on home tanning beds
vary depending on the make, model, age, and where you
live. In northern communities that get winter the value
of these beds tends to be higher than in southern
communities that see the warm sun all year round.
A home tanning bed is wired to work
with your home wiring. The stronger beds will require
you to have an electrician install a 220 plug. The same
type of plug your electric stove uses. It's really
quite affordable. The smaller less powerful beds will
operate on a regular 110 plug.
What type of bed you buy is a personal choice that
depends on the amount of space you have to dedicate to
a tanning bed, how you tan, and what you want to obtain
with your bed. Yes I know a suntan, but there are
different levels of tanning.
Home tanning beds are a much nicer
option than having to run to the salon all the time.
Between the salons busy schedule and your busy schedule
it can be a real pain to juggle. Not only that you whip
in have your tan whip back out and you're rushing the
whole time.
At home you can turn your tanning session into a
time to relax. Put on your favorite tunes, crawl into
your tanning bed and breath deep - relax! Then you can
hop into your own shower put on some comfy clothes and
curl up with a good book or your favorite television
show. Beats the heck out of the salon scenario!
How much you spend is up to you. But you should set
a rough budget before you start looking. Beds are
available in a wide range of prices depending on maker,
bulb strength, bed size, and age. If you are on a tight
budget look at older beds, but be sure to replace the
bulbs so they are at their maximum strength.
Maintaining a tanning bed is pretty
straight forward. You have the cleaning process to
disinfect and remove oils from the platform so as not
to inhibit the ability of the tanning rays to reach
you. You'll need to replace the bulbs on a regular
schedule, and you'll need to replace any parts that
become worn.
Bulbs loose their strength fairly quickly. If a bulb
is rated for 900 hours by 450 hours it has lost half of
its strength. Now you can continue to use that bulb but
you'll need to tan twice as long to get the same
results as you did when the bulb was new.
Home tanning beds come with various
options such as internal cooling systems, built in
stereo systems, and different types of bulbs. Some beds
have special face tanning bulbs. If you're not sure
about a certain option you can always do a quick search
online to find out more information.
Home tanning beds are large so if
you are purchasing online you'll want to make sure you
know your shipping costs. Many of the manufacturers or
dealers will ship a new bed for free so that might be a
good option to pursue.
So if your tan is important to you consider
purchasing a home tanning bed! Home
tanning beds are available to meet everyone's
needs!
