How to Install Tanning Bed Bulbs at Home

If you have a tanning bed in your home, then you can enjoy all the benefits of it without having to wait at the tanning salon. The one negative aspect is you will have to do some routine maintenance on the tanning bed to keep it operating properly.

The most common project will be installing new tanning bed bulbs. This is a process that isn’t too hard if you follow the steps. The more often you have to change them the easier it will become.

First, you need to make sure you are installing the right bulbs for your model of tanning bed. The retailer where you purchase them can help you ensure you get the right items you need. You can also find the information in the guide book that came with your tanning bed.

Don’t install bulbs that are of a different strength as it could cause injuries.  It can also result in the tanning bed being overloaded and it will no longer work. Never install used tanning bed bulbs from another source. You always want to install new ones when you are changing them.

Unplugging your tanning bed from the wall is a good habit to get into when you are installing tanning bed bulbs. Some people prefer to cut the power to the entire room. Either one is fine. Most tanning bed bulbs are long but light weight.

It is easier if you have someone to help you install them. Simply pop out each end and then pop the ends of the new bulbs securely into place. Double check that each one is locked into place before you move to the next.

If one of your tanning bulbs goes out, it is a good idea to change all of them at the same time. This will help ensure you get an even tan as well as save you time. You don’t want to have to slowly replace them one at a time. In most cases your tanning bed bulbs won’t go out. Take a look at the owner’s manual and it will tell you how often to change them.
