According to standard practices, how is tanning lamp life typically determined?

Determining the life of tanning lamps involves tracking the actual usage of the equipment, which is commonly measured in hours of operation. The lifespan of tanning lamps is influenced by a variety of factors including the intensity of the bulbs and the duration of sessions, which makes tracking lamp hours essential for ensuring optimal performance and maintaining safety standards. This process often involves using lamp meters that measure the output and effectiveness of the lamps over time. By keeping accurate records of lamp hours and utilizing meters, tanning facilities can replace lamps at the appropriate intervals to ensure clients receive effective and safe tanning sessions. This practice helps avoid both subpar tanning results and potential risks associated with using lamps past their useful life.
