Introduction
The sun
The sun supplies various types of energy.Visible light enables us to see, ultraviolet (UV) light gives us a tan and the infrared (IR) light in sunlight provides the heat in which we like to bask.
The tanning appliance
With this tanning appliance you can suntan comfortably at home.The tanning lamps emit visible light, heat and ultraviolet light, giving you the
impression you are sunbathing in real sunlight.The special UV filter only passes the light that is required to get a tan. The tanning lamps emit sufficient infrared to provide a comfortable warmth.
A timer ensures that each session does not last longer than 45 minutes. Just as with natural sunlight, overexposure must be avoided (see the chapter ‘Tanning and your health’).
