What is the difference between the
levels of tanning beds in salons?
Are you confused about the different levels of tanning
beds offered by tanning salons? What is the difference
between Level 1, Level 2, Level 3, Level 4 and sometimes
even Level 5 and Level 6 tanning beds and tanning
booths? Customers in today's tanning salons have
multiple choices... what is the best choice for you and your
skin?
Tanners will find all of the information they need to make
the correct choice here. In short, the difference between
the levels has to do with tanning power, with the lowest
being Level 1 and moving up in power with each
subsequent Level.
How exactly does this work? Level 1 and Level 2 tanning
beds offer low pressure bulbs, while Level 3, 4, 5 and 6
offer medium to high pressure bulbs. High pressure bulbs
offer lower amounts of UVB rays with increased amounts
of UVA rays. UVA rays are the specific rays that bronze
your skin. So that means the higher Levels will bronze
your skin faster, and the resulting tan will last longer. This
allows the tanning salon to offer their customer's options,
with introductory Level 1 and Level 2 for the first time or
infrequent tanners, to the higher Levels for those seeking
a deeper and darker experience.
LEVEL ONE
Level 1 Tanning Beds are the basic beds, with
tanning times that are long but usually priced low. A
Level 1 tanning bed is an economic option, but they
produce high levels of UVB rays, the rays that can
cause sunburn if not used properly.
If you love the experience of relaxing in a tanning
bed, Level 1 tanning beds are the perfect choice for
you. With longer tan times (sometimes longer than
20 minutes), these beds are great to sit back, relax
and imagine laying on a beach in Florida. They are
also great options for tanners maintaining a tan or
seeking a base tan for a sunny vacation or
upcoming trip to the beach. But you will need to visit
these beds often to gain even a basic tan.

LEVEL TWO
Level 2 tanning beds are very similar to Level 1
beds in both lamps and pricing, but they typically
offer specific facial lamps and arm lamps
designed to tan these odd areas that Level 1
tannings beds do not offer. They also sometimes
offer Alpha 7900 Commercial Tanning Bed by
KBLan upgrade in the regular body lamps.
Typically they achieve this upgrade by either
offering medium pressure bulbs, or the same low
pressure bulbs, but with an increase in the
numbers. These beds will often carry more than
35 lamps.

LEVEL THREE
Level 3 Tanning Beds offers medium pressure
lamps with lower UV rays and more UVA rays,
providing a faster and deeper tan than Level 1 and
Level 2

LEVEL FOUR
Level 4 Tanning Beds (and up) feature
ridiculously fast tanning times, with sometimes
next to zero UVB rays, guaranteeing a dark tan
with virtually no chance of a sunburn.
