A tanning lamp is a type of artificial light source designed to produce ultraviolet (UV) radiation that mimics the sun's rays, promoting the tanning of human skin. These lamps are commonly used in tanning beds, booths, and handheld tanning devices. Tanning lamps primarily emit UVA and UVB rays. UVA rays penetrate the skin more deeply and are primarily responsible for skin darkening, while UVB rays stimulate the production of vitamin D and can cause sunburn.
