Energy costs have risen to unbelievable heights and salons are looking for creative solutions to stay in business, from switching to cheaper heating services to insulating their property. While these remedies can reduce your energy bills, there's one thing you can do: switch to an energy-efficient sunbed.
The Sunfit Electronic Ballasts – energy-saving technology – power the low-pressure lamps in Ultrasun sunbeds.
Energy-saving technology:
In layman's terms these sunbeds deliver the same, deep, fantastic tan as their high-wattage counterparts. So, imagine yourself laying on the beach enjoying the midday Mediterranean summer sun without the risk of high energy costs.
Benefits:
A 'unit' of electricity is 1 kilowatt-hour, i.e. equivalent to running 1000 Watt appliances for 1 hour, and costs around *£0.34
The Q14 has 40 x 120-Watt tubes and uses 5.4 kilowatts, so it would cost around £1.84 to run for an hour.
If you charge your customers £3 per 5 minutes, the Q14 will earn you £36 per hour. So, your electricity costs are 1.84/36 or roughly 5% of your earnings.
That means that 5% of what you've earned in that hour will go to overhead costs. Compared to other brands that are equivalent in size, you'll spend less on your electricity bill with an Ultrasun energy-efficient sunbed.
*Session time is based on skin type and other factors. The maximum session is 15 min. Your aesthetician will guide you through the session.
*Calculated using the UK: Energy Price Guarantee (1 October 2022 - 31 March 2023) electricity rate of 34.00 pence per kWh.
