Glas
Did you know that special additives in the glass furnace increase the filtering effect of the glass and thus reduce UVB? This is referred to as “closed” glass. With “open” glass, the filter edge is predominantly in the short-wave range and a higher proportion of UVB radiation is transmitted.

Fluorescents
For our premium tanning lamps we mainly use phosphors from German production. Here, too, we rely on Made in Germany.

Phosphor mixture
The inner coating of a tanning lamp is mixed from several phosphors. This phosphor mixture is decisive for the spectrum, i.e. the tanning effect of the lamp. The art lies in combining the phosphors in such a way that they are compatible and stable and achieve an optimal tanning effect.
