maybe this can be converted into a plant growing device somehow?
replacing the older/unsafe bulbs many be a hidden large cost, check out
bulb prices first.
first for the dangers see:
http://www.westchestergov.com/health...ningSalons.htm
"Since most sun lamps and tanning beds emit UVA radiation, doesn't that
make them safer than natural sunlight?
No. It's true that most sun lamps emit mainly UVA radiation, and that
these so*called "tanning rays" are less likely to cause a sunburn than
UVB radiation from sunlight. But, contrary to the claims of some
tanning parlors, that doesn't make them safe. UVA rays have a suspected
link to malignant melanoma, and, like UVB rays, they also may be linked
to immune system damage.
What's the government's position on using sun lamp products found in
tanning parlors and in homes?
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC) encourage people to avoid use of tanning
beds and sun lamps. "

got this tanning bed 12 bulbs on top 100w each with a 16 ga. cord with 20A
250v plug on it.
then the bottom is the same set up 12 bulbs 100w each with a 16 ga. cord
with 20A 250v plug on it. both plugs are replacements ,not what came org.
so I have 2 plugs that must be plugged into 2 different 20A outlets
do I have to stay with the 2 separate outlets and plugs or can I combine
the two power cords at the plug and put one 40A
plug on them and then run a 40A 220v line to a 40A 220V outlet
the top and bottom of this bed is independed of each other along with each
section having its own timer.
the people I got it from had 2 outlets for it . but there seems there must
be a better way to plug this in .and run less wire
but a larger ga.wire.Both the top and bottom together would pull a total of
3100 watts
any info. would help. I have no problem running a 40A 220v circuit but I
don't know if this would be safe for the bed.
you know because we are going to be inside this thing and don't want it
zapping us.
seems to me this would work figuring each bed cord will only pull the amps
needed for that section of bed.
thanks for any help.
