Low-Pressure Sunbed

Low-pressure sunbeds are the most common type of sunbed. They use long fluorescent tubes that give out mostly UVA with a small share of UVB; the 'low-pressure' name refers to the gas pressure inside the tubes, which shapes the light they emit. Many tanners find them a comfortable, familiar session, and they are a staple in tanning studios. As with every bed in a UK studio, the UV output is capped at 0.3 W/m², and at MEGATAN Studio your session length is set by our team at your consultation.
