Pro Reflector
100w RUVA
F71 only |
2.6% |
1000 |
20 |
Much higher UVA because of the reflector built into each
lamp. Lower UVB, but with reflector, actually has about the same as a 4.2% HO
lamp. Must be used in a tanning bed that has at least 24 lamps to prevent
striping. This is commonly found in higher end commercial, 20 minute beds.
Tans a little slower at first, but gives extremely dark results within a month. Best for
people who are concerned about quality over speed. |
Custom Bronzer
100w HO
F71 & F73 |
5% |
800 |
18-22 |
This is the standard lamp in all standard SunMaster beds, and is a
compatible match for many OEM lamps. The 5% UVB rating is the most common and
represents a good compromise between speed and depth of tan. If you are not sure
what you need, it is hard to go wrong with a 5% lamp. |
Pro Bronzer
100w HO
F71 & F73 |
5% |
1200 |
18-22 |
Same as Custom Bronzer, but long life version, lasts 50%
longer. Costs a little more, but actual cost per session is much lower due to
longer life. |
Pro Face
100w Dual Zone™
F71 only |
5 & 6.5% |
1200 |
17-21 |
Add face tanning in a bed that currently has no face tanning bulbs.
For best results, put all Pro Face in canopy of bed, and either Custom Bronzer or
Pro Bronzer (best) in the bench. Pink section over face has 6.5% UVB, while the blue
section is the same as a Pro Bronzer. |
Pro Body
100w Dual Zone™
F71 only |
5 & 6.5% |
1200 |
17-21 |
Similar to Pro Face, but half is 6.5%, half is 5%.
Replace ALL your lamps with this one, placing the pink section (label side) over your
legs, for maximum leg tanning power. Can also be used in the sides of your tanning
bed to give extra power under the arms. |
Power Bronzer 100
100w RUVA
F71 & F59 |
5% |

13-16 |
RUVA lamp technology in a 6.5% lamp. Maximum 15 minute sessions.

Pro Twister
100w THO
F71 & F73 |
6.5%+ |
1200 |
15-20 |
Internally, very similar to the Pro Plus lamp, using the same phosphor
blend for long life and balanced output. Externally, very different with the glass
being modified and a twist added to the structure, giving it higher surface area (where UV
is made) and overall higher output. Slightly expensive, but very popular and legally
compatible with many lamps. Note: this is a professional grade twister, and not the
9.9% home tanning bed versions found elsewhere. |
Custom Plus
100w RUVA
F71 & F73 |
6.5% |
800 |
15-20 |
Very similar to the Custom Bronzer, but higher UVB for
faster initial tanning. Very popular for people who want something hotter than stock
lamps, at a very inexpensive price. |

The VHOR version of our best seller, the ClearTech 20. This has a built in

shouldn't be used in regulated states. |

A blend of traditional pink bronzing power plus the hotness of modern lamps, in a "best of both world's" tanning lamp. Exceptional upgrade for any tanning bed. |
| Recommendations for finding the
right lamps for YOU |
| If you want a good, inexpensive,
general purpose lamp |
Look at the Custom Bronzer. It provide excellent
performance and is our lowest priced lamps. The Custom Bronzer is the OEM lamp we
use in all regular SunMaster tanning beds. If you use your bed a lot, consider the
Pro Bronzer instead. It costs about 20% more, but it lasts about 50% longer, so your
cost per session is the lowest of all of our lamps. |
| If you want something hotter than a stock lamp, with
faster tanning times. |
Look at the Custom Plus, Pro Plus or Pro Twister lamps. Although
lower in UVA (but higher in UVB) the Wildcat 8.5% lamp will also shorten your session
times. All of these feature more UVB (burning ray) which will stimulate melanin
production faster. |
| If you want a maximum bronzing lamp |
Bronzing lamps are those that are designed to get you
the maximum darkness, even if it takes a little more time. If you have at least 24
lamps, look at the Pro Reflector, Reflex Bronzer or ClearTech lamps. These are all
extremely high in UVA. The ReFlex Bronzer is also moderately high in UVB. The
ClearTech lamps will be highest in both UVA and UVB. |
| If you want the best of both worlds, super fast tans,
but the ultimate in darkness. |
ClearTech is the answer. ClearTech is the only lamp in the world
with UVA this high. They have moderate to high levels of UVB as well, for excellent
melanin production. They have 30% or more UVA than any other lamp in the same
wattage, making them the most powerful lamps in the world. They cost more but they
are also the longest lasting lamps we make, so the cost per session is very reasonable. |
| If your legs don't get as tan as the
rest of you. |
Put some Custom Body lamps in your bed, with the pink
section (the part over the label) over your legs. This section is a 6.5% lamp, while
the blue part is a 5% UVB lamp. This will focus more melanin stimulation over your
legs for a more even tan. This is one of the most popular combinations for women.
Once your tan is even, you can just alternate which end your head is to keep your overall
tan even. |
| If your face don't get as tan as the rest of you. |
Similar to the legs above, but use Custom Face lamps in the canopy with
the label over your face, then Pro Bronzers (or Custom Bronzer) in the bench. This
will put more UVB over your face for more melanin stimulation. |
| You have trouble tanning on your
sides (and maybe the face area, too) |
This is particularly a problem with 16 to 24 lamp beds.
Try using 8 of the Custom Body lamps. Install two in the far left and two in
the far right parts of the bench, then do the same with the canopy. Make sure you
put the label section over your face, not legs. In the rest of the slots, just
Custom Bronzer or Pro Bronzer lamps. You can also mix in with Custom Face lamps in
the canopy, for a "Face / Side / Arm" combination bed. For a 24 lamp bed,
you need 8 Face, 8 Body and 8 regular lamps. For a 16 lamp bed, you need 8 Body, 4
Face, 4 regular. The pinks sections will be at your sides (and optionally your face)
and will provide much more UVB stimulation to help jump start the tanning. |
| You burn really easily and want something that will
let help you tan |
The Pro Reflector is our best, true European style bronzing lamp.
(it is designed and made in Europe) It should only be used in beds with 24 or more
lamps that do not have wide lamp spacing. It is a reflector lamp with 2.6% UVB
rating, about half of the burning rays of a typical lamp, yet offers tons of UVA, which
doesn't generally burn you and instead lets you tan deeper. |
