What is the typical wattage range of low pressure tanning equipment?

The typical wattage range of low-pressure tanning equipment is indeed between 100 to 200 watts. This range is characteristic of low-pressure tanning beds, which utilize fluorescent bulbs designed to emit UV light at a lower intensity than high-pressure equipment. These bulbs are generally capable of providing sufficient UV exposure for tanning while being safer for both clients and operators.

Low-pressure tanning beds are preferred for their more controlled and gradual tanning process, minimizing the risk of overexposure that can lead to skin damage. This wattage range also allows for a balance between effective tanning and safety, which is essential in providing a responsible tanning experience.

In contrast, lower wattage options would fail to deliver the necessary UV intensity for tanning efficacy, while higher wattage levels would typically categorize those beds as high-pressure devices designed for faster tanning results. This differentiation helps clarify why the 100 to 200 watts range is standard for low-pressure equipment.
