Sun Tanning Beds

The first original tanning lamp was discovered accidentally in 1903 by a German company called Heraeus who were developing lighting systems for the home and for industrial usage . These lamps were of the high-pressure metal halide variety . They discovered that the light that was developed for visible light purposes also emitted ultra-violet light . In the 1920s and 1930 's Heraeus first started to market and sell single lamp , self standing tanning devices . The first high-pressure tanning beds incorporating more than a single high-pressure lamp were manufactured in the

mid to late 1970 's by companies such as Ultrabronz and JK Ergoline and in the 1980s the first high-pressure units were exported to the United States

Although tanning beds were initially brought to America by Friedrich Wolff in 1978 , he soon patented his particular blend of phosphors and began licensing the technology to other companies . Wolff Systems has since devoted all their resources into lamp technology and development Some of the early adopters of the Wolff technology include ETS , Inc SCA , Sun Industries , Inc , Montego Bay , Sunal . Later , Friedrich sold Wolff Systems to his brother Jorg Wolff , who was the founder of Cosmedico , Ltd , another pioneer in the tanning industry
