ABSTRACT:
In a preferred embodiment the present invention provides a tanning system with first and second units mounted to define a gap for a person to be tanned. The gap defines a head area to be adjacent the person's head and defines first and second shoulder areas oriented to be over the shoulders of a person. The first and second shoulder areas provide ultraviolet illumination, with a reduced amount of illumination provided in the head area. In one embodiment, the system includes a row of ultraviolet lamps mounted to the tanning device. Preferably the row includes two shoulder series, where the first shoulder series is over the first shoulder of the person to be tanned, and the second shoulder series is over the second shoulder of the person to be tanned. In preferred embodiments, the tanning system uses at least one quad lamp. In certain embodiments, the quad lamps are mounted vertically. In another preferred embodiment, the quad lamp includes four elongate portions. The elongate portions are connected in pairs. The quad lamp is oriented such that side portions of three of the elongate portions directly illuminate the location for the person to be tanned.
