You won't notice the color until you "light" the lamps up. We "see" yellow and yellow-green very well, but we don't see blue all that well.Įither color lamp will tan you if properly designed- it's the phosphor mix, not the color of the lamp that affects tanning. This is not as easy as it sounds, because strong color phosphors are not available in every hue, and because the human eye cannot perceive some colors as well as it can others. This can be done to deliver any appearance by adding, for example, green or even more blue. The small percentage of color phosphor displaces a like amount of UV-generating phosphor, so chemists adjust the phosphor blend during lamp design to compensate. This changes the appearance of the lamp only when it is operating. To create a warm or pink lamp, a small amount of strong red phosphor is added. With current technology, tanning lamps appear light blue in their natural phosphor state. Examples are Nordstrom's versus the auto supply store. Retail merchandising experts all over the world employ this knowledge, installing warmer general lighting in establishments where the owner benefits from more leisurely customer traffic patterns, and installing cooler lighting when the owner prefers customers move more quickly about their business. Today, successful salons concentrate on making their entire establishment warm and inviting for their customers.

People perceive pink as a 'warm' color, while blue is 'cool'. Is there a difference between pink and blue tanning lamps? Is one better than the other?
