The wavelength in the emitted radiation on a tanning bed are more conducive to burning, in your case, then the wavelengths you would see under the natural lighting of your area. IN a tanning bed you can get tan in 10 min what would take you a hr in the sun... The reason being that the lights are bright and hot and surround you and are very close to you... What is happening while you are tanning is you are literally being cooked from the inside out... so think of a tanning bed as a giant oven. That is why you should not tan for too long or else you can die... I love my tanning bed... If you have one and plan on tanning daily you want to start of with a few min a day then after a few days go up a few more min and so on that way your body gets used to it... If you just go in there after not tanning in a while and tan for lets say 20 - 30 min your more likely to have a sun burn rather than a tan and it is more dangerous as well.

Are tanning beds generally safe?
You are exposed to ultraviolet radiation inside a tanning bed, just as you are in the sun. This UV exposure causes skin cancer, regardless of the source. In addition, you can receive a bad burn in a tanning bed just as you can in the sun. So tanning beds are generally no safer than sun exposure.

How does the matrix tanning bed work?
ive been using the matrix bed for almost 2 years now. its the most amazing tanning bed ive used by far. i can tan in this bed after not tanning for six months and not burn at the full time. i have very fair skin and notice a nice tan after just one session. Actually, the matrix is very different than other tanning beds. It is made so that you receive 99% UVA rays and 1% UVB rays, approximately. The UVB rays are the rays that burn you, while the UVA rays allow you to tan. Also, it allows you to continue tanning for 48 hours, after laying in the bed. While all rays can be harmful, the ones you should protect against the most are UVB. Please don't take that to mean that this bed won't or can't cause skin problems/cancer. Any sunlight, in excess, can and will do harm, but this bed is much less likely to cause harmful skin problems than many other beds.
How are tanning bed bulbs used?
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.
