Our UV Sunlamps give you the convenience of use at home, anytime.
Keep an attractive, healthy looking Summer Tan year round. Do you look better with a tan? - Of course you do, and our home tanning lamps allow you to tan at home any time.

Home Tanning Lamps and Ultraviolet Sunlamps are our specialty (10+ years in business). This is what we do!

Do these sunlamps really work? - If you can tan from the sun's UV rays, you will tan from our Sunlamp's UV rays, it's simple science. The extra bonus with our sunlamps is that the UV rays will also naturally produce Vitamin D within the body
(a science fact that nobody disputes - not even 'conservative' doctors).

Psoriasis: our sunlamps (except the HT-420) are also very effective for treating Psoriasis. With a high percentage of UVB output these units are particularly effective in treating psoriasis.

Whether you are one who usually just tans in the summer months, or one that prefers to have an attractive tan year-round, our UV Sunlamps - Tanning Lamps and our Tanning Canopies are ideal for achieving and maintaining an attractive, healthy looking tan all year. A home sunlamp or canopy allows you tan in the privacy of your home anytime without the hassle and fees of driving to a tanning salon.

 We sell every model of home tanning lamp on the US Market with the exception of one, which we have chosen not to offer due to it's weak tanning power. Our sunlamps are compact yet powerful, well built, and start at just $209.

UV sunlamps offer much more than just providing an attractive tan. Ultraviolet light from sunlamps has long been used for treating psoriasis and acne, and now they are  gaining popular acceptance as a great tool for Vitamin D production in the body. It is simple science, a fact or nature, that Ultraviolet light creates Vitamin D in the body, and not everyone can get out into the sunshine to receive these beneficial UV rays. Especially in the winter months, adequate UV light can be impossible to get without the aid of Ultraviolet Lamps. A UV light, such as our UV sunlamps offered here are ideal, and even better, we now offer the D/UV-F 'Vitamin D Lamp' designed just for the purpose of helping the body's Vitamin D production. All of our sunlamps, which are technically Ultraviolet Lights, will help with Vitamin D production, so whether you are using our sunlamps for tanning, for treating Psoriasis or Acne, a great extra benefit is the extra Vitamin D that is produced naturally in the body as a result. Adequate levels of Vitamin D are a vital component of good health, so with a UV tanning lamp you will not only look attractive and healthy, the UV rays will increase your Vitamin D levels keeping you healthy on the inside.

RETURN POLICY:  requests to return our sunlamps are very rare, but when we receive one it is usually from a customer who has used the sunlamp to achieve a tan for vacation, wedding, prom, or other social event, and now prefer to have their money back. Since sunlamps are seasonal items (not much need for them in the summer) we do get some return requests in the summer months. Lastly, some customers simply have financial distress and need the money. Other than these reasons above, return requests are extremely rare, as there is really no other reasons to request a return. -We cannot accept used/returned Sunlamps back into stock. We sell only brand new factory direct units with a manufacturers warranty, and do not sell used or refurbished units. No returns are accepted.

We do guarantee safe and undamaged delivery. We do provide a manufacturers warranty for the very rare instances that there is a problem. These UV tanning lamps are proven effective, it's simple science of Ultraviolet Light, if you can tan from the sun's UV rays you will tan from a Sunlamp's UV rays. These units are very well built here in the USA, and defects are very rare, but if there is a defect - it is covered by your warranty. For your peace of mind, return requests are much less than 1% (about 1 out of every 250 customers). Our sunlamps have been in constant manufacture for over 60 years (with upgrades and improvements over the years of course).

Can I tan my whole body with a sunlamp - tanning lamp?

Our Sperti (Del Sol & Sentosa Sun) sunlamps are 'sectional tanners' and are not designed for full body tanning. Due to their size, they can only tan a section of your body at a time. That said, it is possible to tan the whole body, but it would take multiple sessions to do so . We do not recommend these sunlamps for full body tanning due to the time it would take to tan multiple sections of your body. If your goal is to have a complete full body tan we suggest purchasing our SunQuest Tanning Canopy, or a home tanning bed.

The new FIJI fluorescent sunlamp is new (March, 2011) and is the new and larger unit that provides more area of coverage. As an example, the Fiji covers an area from the head down to mid/lower torso in a session.




UV Therapy - Phototherapy:

Our UV sunlamps are often recommended by dermatologists to help people with skin conditions such as psoriasis, eczema, acne, etc.. If you see improvement in your skin condition during the summer months when your skin is exposed to the sun's UV rays, then a UV sunlamp will likely provide the same positive results. Ask your dermatologist about UV phototherapy and if a UV sunlamp can help you. You can order the FDA approved PH-36 Psoriasis Lamp which requires a prescription, or you can look at our non-prescription sunlamps.

The Spectral Distribution of our sunlamps is approximately 30% UVB, and approximately 70% UVA.

The PH-36 Psoriasis Sunlamp has approximately 35% UVB output, and approximately 65% UVA ouput.



What are the options for tanning equipment available?

From the weakest to the most powerful - this is everything available in the USA. These are the levels:

1) The 'Euro Style Facial Tanner' (sold under various names):   We don't sell this model because we feel its low power is not adequate/effective. It have 4 small 15 watt bulbs, and when we tested it our personal conclusion was the power was not sufficient - which is why we do not offer this unit.

2) Our Sperti Sunlamps:   Powerful and effective sectional tanners. Sperti sunlamps have been in constant production for over 50 years.

3) Tanning Canopies:   Half of a tanning bed - you just have to roll over to tan the other side. Runs off a standard 110/120v outlet, & easily moved and stored.

4) Tanning Beds:  Nice to have, but expensive, have to rewire your home, and they take up a lot of space.


Our warranty, including our Summer Tan free extended warranty is valid only for units within the USA and Canada.
Units that are shipped overseas are NOT UNDER WARRANTY due to the different electrical systems overseas.
(USA & Canada use 110v electrical current, and overseas 220v is used, so only a quality 1000+ step down transformer can be used.)


We offer quality sunlamps and canopies, but we also sell the "Au Courant" premium sunless tanning lotion and products which allow you to get a natural looking tan without exposure to UV rays.  Our Au Courant sunless tanning lotions work on every skin type, no matter how fair your skin, so now there is no excuse for not having a nice tan! Many customers also use Au Courant sunless tanning products to enhance their natural tan.


Beware of this unit:

This is the only facial tanning lamp competition on the US market. We sell every sunlamp - tanning lamp available in the USA except this unit.
The 'Plastic Facial Tanner' is sold under several different brand names, made of white plastic, and is made in Asia. The various model names may vary in appearance just a little bit, but they all run off of only FOUR tiny 15 (fifteen) watt bulbs. The lure of this particular design is that it does in fact 'look good', and the $59 - $99 price tag looks even better.
We've tested this unit, several times over the years, and in our opinion, after multiple tests, it is too weak to be effective.

 




We all know that you look better and feel better with an attractive tan, nobody disputes that fact, but the physical and mental health benefits of UV exposure are gaining more respect in the medical community and there is a growing momentum of studies touting the health benefits of UV exposure. That said, we must remind everyone that the key to anything good is moderation - don't overexpose - moderation is always important.
