Tanning bed

Apparatus for artificially tanning a person comprising:

• (a) a base;
• (b) a lower tanning unit positioned on the base having a plurality of tanning lamps positioned between first and second longitudinally extending edges on the lower tanning unit;
• and
• (c) an upper tanning unit moveably secured to the base having a first row of tanning lamps and a second row of tanning lamps, both rows positioned to extend over most of the distance between oppositely disposed ends on the upper tanning unit and parallel to and between first and second longitudinally extending edges on the upper tanning unit, the upper tanning unit being moveable between an open position where a person can enter and exit the apparatus and a closed position having a tanning chamber with a vertical center and a horizontal centerline extending through the vertical center.
