What should I do if a lamp is not working without being physically broken?

It's annoying when a lamp does not light up. To find out the cause please take following actions:

• Try the lamp on another position where another lamp works well. If the lamp which did not light up initially works well in another place it's clear that the lamp is oke. If this is the case try another starter on the spot where the lamp did not work initially and put the lamp back in its old place as well. If the lamp lights up it was a broken starter. If not it's not the lamp neither the starters and something must be wrong with the sunbed or canopy. Could be wiring or ballast.
• If it's a broken starter please send us an email with your order number and the product number or name of the starter and we will sent you a new one.
• In case the lamp is defective choose depending on the situation the corresponding instructions below:

Lamp does not work immediately after delivery
If the lamp after following the procedure above proves to be broken please send us an email with the following data:

• a picture with all lamps visible in the canopy or sunbed which is in operation so we can see that one lamp is not working (not lighting up). The logo’s on the lamps should be visible as well.
• the production code (or a picture of the production code is even better). On the image below you can see where to find this code:
  
• your order number and /or name and address.

We will look at your email as soon as possible and we may contact you for further information. If the lamp proves to be broken we will sent you a new one without additional costs. The old lamp does not have to be returned.

Lamp does not work within the warrantee period
If the lamp after following the procedure above proves to be broken please send us an email with the following data:

• a picture with all lamps visible in the canopy or sunbed which is in operation so we can see that one lamp is not working (not lighting up). The logo’s on the lamps should be visible as well.
• the production code (or a picture of the production code is even better). On the image below you can see where to find this code:
  
• your order number and /or name and address.

We will look at your email as soon as possible and we may contact you for further information. If the lamp proves to be broken and it's still under warrantee we will sent you a new one without additional costs. The old lamp does not have to be returned.

Sunbed tubes

I have white stripes on my back over the whole length. How come and what to do about it?

The stripes on the body are caused by the fact that the acrylic plate on the bench has some supports to keep it in position. On the spots where these supports touch the acrylic plate light can not get through. This is something which is normal and cannot be avoided. How faster the tan the stronger the effect. This only happens when you are always in exactly the same position on the bench which is not very likely to happen but it's possible.

Recommendation is to change your position a little during the tanning sessions so do not lay down always in exactly the same position.

Which lamp should I choose as a replacement for the Philips Cleo Effect 90 Watt 176cm?

This lamp is often used in older appliances especially from the brands Palm Beach and Eurosolar. These lamps are thinner than the regular 100W lamps namely 26mm while the 100W lamps are 38mm. In some sunbeds this was done to be able to put more lamps and thus more power in the canopy or sunbed.

Philips does not manufacture UV lamps anymore and the only alternative is the Cosmedico Cosmolux Slimline 90/92 W.

Which lamp should I choose as a replacement for the Philips Cleo Effect 70W 150cm?

Incase you have a sunbed or canopy with an HPA facial tanner and Philips Cleo Effect 90W you will also have some 150cm Philips Cleo Effect of 70W. Since these lamps are no longer produced the only alternative are the 80 Watt lamps of 150 cm. You have to check whether you have enough space between the lamps before you switch from 90W to 100W. You need at least 1,5 cm in between the lamps which is mostly the case. There is no problem with the Wattage change from 70 to 80W. Lamps will function just fine.

Can I replace the Philips Cleo Effect 90W (or the Cosmedico Cosmolux Slimline 90/92W) 176cm lamps for 100W 176cm lamps?

Yes you can. Also here you need to check the space between the lamps. Same as above you need 1,5cm between the 90W to be able to use the 100W lamps. So if you have a sunbed or canopy with 90W and 70W lamps you can change completely tot he thicker lamps of 100W and 80W. Looks better and the higher wattage will not cause any trouble.

What is a reflector lamp?

A reflector tanning lamp has a built in reflector. You need this lamp in all sunbeds and canopies without a reflection screen behind the lamps ( Steel, Aluminium (mirror) or even Aluminium foil). They can however be used in any canopy or sunbed so also the ones with a reflection screen behind the lamps. In general reflector lamps have a higher output than non reflector lamps.

If you look closely you will see a line going over the whole length of the lamp. One side is a bit milky which is the reflector side. The other half is where the light comes out. Consequently it is extremely important to put the lamps in the right position. Easy way to do and to remember is that the logo should always be on the front side so clearly visible. If this is not the case the reflector side will be on the front and no light will come through.

Collagen lamps

Can I replace the tanning lamps in my canopy or sunbed for collagen lamps?

Yes you can as long as the length and the wattage are the same. In almost all cases you will have 176 cm 100W or little bit less often the 190 cm 100/120W lamps. You can replace those without any problem for the corresponding collagen lamps on our website.

Can I replace the 90W tanning lamps (Philips or Cosmedico) in my Palm Beach (or any other brand) for collagen lamps?

Basically you can. But keep in mind that the 90W lamps are only 26mm and the normal 100W lamps so also the collagen lamps are 38mm thick. You need 1,5cm space between your 90W lamps to be able to change to 100W collagen lamps.

Facial Tanners

My facial tanner device occasionally makes a ticking or creaking sound. Is it defective?

We occasionally receive complaints about facial tanners that they emit a crackling sound when in use. This is normal, not dangerous and does not affect operation. When turned on, the lamps and the VSA,s (transformers) in the device slowly become very hot. Due to this heat, the plastic expands a bit and this sometimes causes a crackling sound, especially during the first 10 minutes. When turning off and cooling down, the same thing happens. Despite using the best plastics, we can never completely prevent this from happening. You can compare it to an engine that gets hot and makes a ticking sound while doing so and also when cooling down. So it is normal and inherent in the nature of the product. Should you not trust it please send a short video of your findings to our customer service. We will be happy to take a look with you.

Assembly/ replacing

How to replace the HPA lamps in a Philips/Hapro Sunmobile?

• Remove the filter glass which is before the lamps (most of the time just fixed with a couple of screws).
• Remove the old lamps by pushing them to one side and take them out on the other side.
• Place the new lamps by pushing them into one side and then insert the other side. Not with bare hands but with a piece of paper or something like that so that the lamps stay clean.
• In case the lamp got greasy use a towel (most of the times supplied with the lamp) to clean the lamp.
• Important: mobefore turning on the product after replacing the lamps always put back the glass. Its a filter and you cannot use the lamps without the filter. In most cases the lamps will not ignite if the glass is not in place because of a safety switch.

How do I replace the HPA lamps in a Philips/ Hapro Innergize?

Most of the people do this themselves. It is however not the easiest product to change lamps. If you take your time and follow the instructions it's no problem. Please download the Instruction manual Hapro-Philips Innergize replacing lamps with pictures. These instructions can be used for all Innergize models.
