The sun supplies various types of energy. Visible light enables us to
see, ultraviolet (UV) light gives us a tan and the infrared (IR) light in
sunrays provides the heat in which we like to bask.
The combi-solarium
With this solarium you can suntan comfortably at home. The tanning
lamps emit visible light, heat and ultraviolet light, giving you the
impression you are sunbathing in real sunlight. The solarium tans
your whole body, including the sides, evenly from head to toe.
A timer ensures that each tanning session does not last longer than
max. 30 minutes. Just as with natural sunlight, overexposure must be
avoided (see section ‘UV and your health’).

• Do not have more than one tanning session a day and avoid excessive exposure to natural sunlight on the same day.
• Do not use the tanning equipment if you have a disease and/or use medication or cosmetics that increase the sensitivity
