Introduction
The sun
The sun supplies various types of energy.Visible light enables us to see,
ultraviolet (UV) gives us a tan and infrared (IR) in sunrays 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, giving you the
impression you are sunbathing in real sunlight.The special UV filter only
passes the radiation that is required to get a tan.
The tanning lamps emit sufficient infrared to provide comfortable
warmth.
A timer ensures that each session does not last longer than 60 minutes.
Just as with natural sunlight, overexposure must be avoided (see
chapter 'UV, tanning and your health').
