Velocity and Velocity
Plus
The Velocity and Velocity Plus tanning bulbs are a Wolff
Systems produced lamp that
are made exclusively for ETS, LLC (previous owners: ETS, Inc.),
who owns the trademarked "Velocity". They are
available in several sizes, including F71 and F59 bi-pin, and F72 and
F73 RDC. While the UVB ratings for this lamp are not published, many
people believe the regular velocity to be comparible with a 5% to 6.5% UVB
tanning lamp, and the Velocity Plus to be marginally higher UVB.
These lamps came as original equipment (OEM) for SunQuest Wolff
and SunVision residential and lower cost commercial tanning beds, with
24 to 28 lamps.
Because they are only available through the manufacturer or their
dealers, they tend to be expensive, in the $16+ price range. Because of
this, they are seldom used as replacement lamps by salon owners, who can
buy legally equivalent tanning bulbs for less, typically $10 or less.
Examples of legally compatible lamps to the Velocity include the
SunMaster Custom Bronzer and Custom Plus, as well as Brilliance 5% and
others.
