Tanning beds have become quite popular lately, especially in light of the many benefits they've been shown to provide. Where once a seeming fad, indoor tanning has been increasing in popularity steadily for years now. If you're looking for a tanning bed for sale you have several options.
Physical retail outlets for tanning beds aren't numerous but online sites are plentiful. Type 'tanning beds' into the big G and you'll have 200,000+ sites pop up. When I typed it in something happened to my browser (maybe this is a new SEO technique) and a site was automatically brought up (and it's actually a pretty good web page).
According to their figures, they have 197 different models of tanning beds available. And get ready for this... 129 of them are manufactured in China. The second largest supplier (which seems surprising) is Viet Nam, closely followed by the U.S.A., which have 70 and 64 units (respectively) on this website's list of manufacturers. There are even 32 different models made in Indonesia.
The technology has changed significantly since the earliest days of indoor tanning beds (1978) but the principle remains the same. Tanning beds (and booths) utilize UV (ultra-violet) lamps to deliver a spectrum of light similar to natural sunlight. This is typically about 97% UVA rays and 3% UVB. These percentages can fluctuate slightly.
With certain safeguards in place, such as protective goggles and good quality lotion, indoor tanning is convenient and beneficial. There's been much hoopla about how bad it is for your skin, etc., but most of this has been proven false information. For those who work a nine-to-five it's difficult to find time to sunbathe. And we need sunshine (even if it's artificial)!
Then, when those who are usually sun deprived finally score a tropical vacation, they're pale- white on arrival and have to be super-careful to keep from getting sunburned during the entire stay. Having some indoor tanning sessions before the vacation will not only make you look better but your skin will already be conditioned to take the tropic sun.
Fortunately for nine-to-fivers many tanning salons are open during evening hours, some even 24/7. There are even coin-operated machines that require no attendant. Or, you can do as many are starting to do and buy your own machine. Even used units are out there. It's easy to find a tanning bed for sale. They're all over the Web.
