does it work? I know it is meant as a "Tanning" lamp but is it bright and if it works can you show it lit? (With proper eye and skin protection of course)

I guess it's like those SBMV reptile lamps then, I never knew they sold a version for tanning in the past. Shocked

It's a wonder everyone from that era didn't die of skin cancer. Shocked

It seems cancer is claiming more and more lives every day. Sad

Almost everyone I've ever talked to knows somebody who's died of cancer.

GE 275W sun tan lamp

Here's a NOS GE 275W sun tan lamp. I got it among a bunch of old incandescents I bought for 25$ if I remember. It's pretty surprising this thing has been preserved intact and brand new during the last 30 or 40 years!
