Bulbs for commercial tanning beds are ultraviolet-emitting units that serve as the main element of the various kinds of tanning beds, hoods and booths on the market. Tanning bed bulbs have as their main use the enhancement of a cosmetic tan, although commercial tanning beds also have a reputation for the successful treatment of eczema and psoriasis. The depth and type of the tan produced, depends on the spectrum of light emitted by the tanning lamps and the vast majority of them give out more ultraviolet light than the sun does.

Practically all bulbs in commercial tanning beds use a unit called a 'ballast' to regulate their power consumption. The ballast stabilizes the flow of electrical current inside the lamp and is required in order to make sure that the tanning bed bulb uses only the exact amount of wattage that it requires in order to work properly.

There are various kinds of bulbs for commercial tanning beds  on the market including reflector sunbed lamps and high output bulbs. Most tanning bed bulbs fall into two main categories: high pressure and low pressure types. (Within the tanning industry, it is usual to refer to high pressure tanning lamps as "bulbs" and low pressure tanning bulbs as "lamps"). Both high and low pressure tanning bed bulbs have a lack of oxygen inside its housing.

Low pressure tanning bed lamps are very similar to normal fluorescent tubes, but the glass tube of low pressure tanning bulbs naturally filters out the harmful UVC ultraviolet rays. Low pressure bulbs have a useful lifespan of between 600 and 1,600 hours with 1,000 hours being the norm.

High pressure bulbs for commercial tanning beds range in length from three to five inches and operate with 250 to 2,000 watt ballasts, although 400 watt high pressure tanning bulbs are the most popular in commercial tanning beds. These 400 watt high-pressure tanning bed bulbs are often incorporated in the face tanning compartment of commercial tanning beds. High pressure tanning bed bulbs are usually manufactured from quartz glass and an extra, specialized coating, which is essential to filter out the lethal UVC ultraviolet rays.

HP bulbs for commercial tanning beds contain a small amount of mercury or argon and produce ultraviolet light in high concentration. The handling of high pressure tanning bed bulbs should be carried out with a great deal of care and never with naked hands, because even a tiny amount of oil from your hands can cause a tanning bed bulb to fail prematurely or even break and the resulting spillage of mercury is potentially dangerous. You should replace high pressure bulbs for commercial tanning beds after about 1,000 hours even though tanning bed bulbs will continue to produce light for up to 10,00 hours
