The first thing that inspired me to buy this sun tanning lamp is the convenience. I used to go to a tanning salon but found it difficult to make the time to get there regularly.

The second thing that made me want to buy this sun lamp is the savings. Although there is a larger upfront cost, you definitely end up saving money in the long run. After about 6 months, it's already paid for itself. Also, my husband can use it when he wants at no additional cost. It just seems like a no-brainer to us.

The adjustable stand is easy to set up and makes it easy to adjust the angle of the lamp depending on whether you place it on the floor to do your lower body or put it on a counter or chair to do your upper body.

The device comes with instructions regarding how long to use it and how far away to stand. I highly recommend following these instructions carefully so you don't burn your skin. I am very fair skinned and by following the instructions for my skin type, I haven't burned at all.

The lamp has a very helpful timer so you can set it for the recommended time and avoid accidentally using it for too long. It also comes with two pairs of protective goggles for your eyes so you don't have to purchase them useparately.

I make sure to use indoor tanning lotion beforehand to moisturize my skin. Then, I use an after-sun cooling spray on my body and rosewater spray on my face afterward. That seems to help cool down my skin and prevent any dryness from the sun lamp.

When used regularly, such as two to three times a week, I get a nice little glow. Also, I find it really helpful for eczema and depression. My skin seems to stay clearer when I use the device consistently, and I also notice that I have fewer dips in my mood.

I work from home and don't get outside nearly enough, so I can supplement my sun time with this device. It's also great for those rainy days or the winter when seasonal affective depression starts to set in.

Honestly, I wish I would have purchased this sun tanning lamp years ago. It would have saved me tons of time and money!

Lamp has exceeded my expectationshighly recommend. Dimensions and functionality are accurately described but key factors to getting desired results are totally dependent upon the user (skin type, exposure time/position, skin care/products). Its not a magic lamp but it can facilitate some magic if you follow the manufacturers instructions, moisturize and moisturize some more. Moist skin tans. Dry skin burns. The compact size makes it easy to tuck away when not in use but the convenience & effortless portability doesnt impact power in an adverse way. Value exceeds cost compared to a commercial tanning salon. Beyond that, its more sanitary and the commute couldnt be shorter!

I have mixed feelings about leaving this review. I love the product, but there are flaws. It is very easy to get tanned from this product. I purchased it because I get skin infections (fungal) every Winter and the medications no longer work for me. I am in the sun in Florida most of the year, but in Winter I do not get out in the sun enough to kill off the fungus that attacks me. UV kills it. So I bought this to keep it under control over the Winter and as a side reason, to keep me tan through the Winter months. I am very dark all Summer long and hate when Winter comes and I start to turn into a pasty white boy. First, let me say that if you are not getting color from this, you are either an ALIEN or you are sitting across the room from it. These bulbs emit UV light in rather large quantities, and there is no way that you will not get tan, unless you genetically CAN NOT get tan. In which case, it is not the fault of the product. I still had a very good tan when I used it first, and I managed to get a burn. I figured my skin could take it since I almost never burn from the sun and have a good tan. I added a couple minutes to the time, which might have been fine, but realized later I was too close to the bulbs. If I burned with a healthy tan on darker skin, please be careful if you are fair skinned.

I followed the directions exactly & did not burn. I have light skin (type 2 on the chart they included.) Instructions are very easy to follow. It took about 6 sessions to see any color (be patient.) Its very gradual but after seeing how people got burned in the reviews, I was very cautious. Makes getting a little color super convenient. Wish it was larger though.
Highly recommend!

The way I have found that this unit works for me is 1) make sure unit is in the "Off" position with the little flip switch. 2) plug unit in, 3) set timer to desired amount of time for exposure. you will hear it clicking never turn time in counter clockwise position it could damage the timer. 4) put flip switch to the on position if it fails to start in the on position check your cord or repeat the flip switch one time. remember to wear the goggles provided to protect your eyes mine came with two pair. I highly recommend this unit when going to a tanning bed is not possible. remember not to get to close to the unit you could get burned also make sure to ease into the tanning process start out at 3 minutes then slowly go into the next minute per each two tanning sessions until you reach about 8 minutes I dont recommend going over 8 minutes possibly 9 after first three months. let the Jitesy sun work slowly to prevent from being burned.
