Tanning bed lamps are located in every tan bed or suntan lamp in the shops. When you are purchasing a new or especially a used tanning bed, make a careful examination of the lamps. Ensure that they are proper tanning lamps and meet the FDA guidelines with regard to health and safety. You should also consider how difficult it is to get at the bulbs. Be sure that the bulbs are not difficult to change when necessary. It is very important, and a lot cheaper, if you can carry out such routine maintenance yourself, if you have a home tanning bed.
