Old fashioned 70's 80's sunlamp

Can anyone help me find a old type sunlamp sometimes they had additional infra red as well the ones you could only use for a few minutes at a time because they burned not the newer flourescent UVA type and were usually quite small.Ideally I would like a new one but cannot find one.(Am trying Ebay.)

I have no idea why you would want to give yourself skin cancer and look like a hundred year old at 16, but if you must...These things should be banned, you probably look lovely as it is and no amount of cheap cosmetics and rubish tan is going to make you any more loved than you already are. DONT DO IT!

Totally endorse what Jnelhams said. I used to use one of these things when I was marginally more vain than I am now. You had to start off at 1 minute and add 1 minute on every other day until you reached 6 minutes.
I had just finished my 6 minute course and the following day when I woke, my face was rather red but unfortunately I had extreme conjunctivitis. The downside was that it was the day that I was taking the final 2 exams of my degree and I couldn't focus on a bloody thing.
Sunglasses, a taxi and several boxes of tissues managed to save the previous 3 years from being wasted but I would not recommend them.
I still have mine but site rules prevent me from offering it for sale for a token sum and p + p.

i always thought the infra red lamps were for aches and pains and problems like that i didnt know they tan you like sunbeds? i thought people with health problems used them or achne or something!
ive never used them but i remember them and i think they were said to be very powerful so watch you dont burn!

I agree. I wouldn't listen and have now had an operation for skin cancer which was not pleasant and very scary.
