Article Abstract:
Low or high pressure sunbeds are available for commercial installation. Low pressure appliances use fluorescent tubes whereas high pressure systems use small bulbs set into canopies. High pressure systems are more efficient although more costly to purchase and operate. Adequate ventilation is essential for optimum efficiency and client comfort. Regular cleaning and servicing is essential. Showers and changing facilities should be located separately for maximum throughput.

Article Abstract:
Sunbeds may be high pressure or low pressure units. Technological improvements in high pressure units provide greater safety, comfort and flexibility. UVB and UVC rays may be filtered and UVA rays intensified and controlled by an adjustable hood. Low pressure units tan from above and below but do not filter harmful rays. Exposure time determines intensity. Operating costs of high pressure beds greatly exceed those of low pressure beds.
