ABSTRACT:
A tanning apparatus includes a plurality of tubular lamp housings releasably joined together in an electrical series relationship for tanning either an erect or recumbent person. Lamp housings, walls, and power cords are easily attachable and detachable for adjusting the configuration of the apparatus. Each lamp housing includes an ultraviolet lamp, ballast, and igniter. The lamp housing further includes a front panel which allows access to the lamp for replacement while protecting a user from injury in case a lamp bursts during use. The front panel is transparent, allowing ultraviolet rays to be transmitted toward a user. Reflective surfaces within the lamp housings and on the interior wall surfaces further contribute to efficient tanning. A frame is provided to support the apparatus above a recumbent user. The lamp housings may also be vertically positioned to surround and tan an erect user. Following use, the apparatus may be rolled into a compact bundle and secured by straps for transport or storage.
