Who said a tan is unhealthy? I am not suggesting you spend your vacation on a raft in the Gulf of Mexico tanning but do not under estimate the benefit of tanning. Sunlight and simulated sunlight "doses" are a successful treatment for Seasonal Affective Disorder, known as the "winter blues." Sunlight and simulated sunlight exposure has been found to improve low winter moods.
some of the positive ef...fects of UV exposure are:
1. Decreases blood pressure
2. Lowers resting heart rate
3. Increases cardiac output
4. Increases energy and endurance
5. Increases muscular strength
6. Lowers blood cholesterol
7. Increases resistance to infections
8. Increases oxygen capacity of blood
9. Increases tolerance to stress
10. Increases adrenaline in tissues
11. Increases sex hormones.
12. Increases the skin's resistance to infections
13. Reduces the symptoms of PMS.

   Tan in our 42 Bulb European Super Bed with Bronzing Bulbs.

We have one bed it is a 42 bulb bed that has bronzing bulbs. A regular tanning bed consists of 10 to 50 light bulbs. Each of these bulbs uses about 100 to 200 watts of electricity and typically emits about 95 percent UVA rays and 5 percent ...UVB rays. Bronzer tanning beds, however, use between 35 and 60 bulbs, each in the range of 160 and 220 watts. These bulbs also emit even higher levels of UVA rays, usually 98 percent.
Benefits ~
Because of the low level of UVB rays used in them, the bulbs used in bronzer beds do not turn the skin as red as a regular tanning bed would. As a result, sunburn risk is reduced and a darker, longer-lasting tan is achieved.
