The bulbs in tanning beds emit ultraviolet (UVA and UVB) radiation. UVA and UVB are the components of sunlight that cause the skin to tan, so the artificial sunlight given off by tanning bed bulbs tans the skin.

Is it wise to buy tanning beds for sale if they are used?

Buying a used tanning may or may not be a wise decision based on several factors. First, you should check to see what the cost of the original, unused product is. Next, you need to take into account who used the tanning bed before you. If it is a commercial tanning bed, chances are good that the previous owner took well care of it. You will also need to check with the previous owner to see if new bulbs are needed. After a tanning bed's bulbs have been used for approximately 600-700 hours, the bulbs will no longer give good tanning results. Lastly, you should check for warranty. Like all things, tanning beds may not be fully functional -- especially if purchased used. If you buy a tanning bed without warranty, you will need to pay for any repairs that might be necessary. On the plus side, buying a used tanning bed can save you a lot of money (upwards of $500).
