The tubular CLEO compact lamps, the so called spaghetti lamps, emit highly concentrated radiation between 300 and 400nm. The lamps are produced in two different UV-B/UV-A ratios, namely 1 % and 2 % (UV-B:280-315 nm). For a UV-B region of 280-320 nm the ratios are 2.1% and 3.5% respectively. The higher UV-B/UV-A ratio is indicated by adding an -S (Super) to the lamp type. The -R (Reflector) types are equipped with an internal reflector of 200 degrees increasing the radiant intensity in front of the window by 70%.

The compact single-ended PL-L lamp, which emits UV radiation between 300-400 nm, has two tubes melted together with a four-pin lamp base (2G11). The lamp should be operated with a normal 36W/40W fluorescent lamp ballast combined with an CLEO starter. The UV-B/UV-A ratio of the PL-L lamp is 1.2% (UV-B: 280-315 nm) or 2.1% (UV-B: 280-320 nm).

Warning

UV radiation, like solar radiation, can cause eye and skin injury if the appropriate safety measures are not observed. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions carefully when using any tanning product or system. When replacing tanning lamps in existing equipment, always adjust the tanning times according to the equipment manufacturer's instructions for the new lamp type.
