tanning beds
Artificial sun chambers
Tanning beds are enclosed devices that emit ultraviolet light to darken skin artificially.
A person lies inside the bed-shaped chamber while UV lamps simulate sun exposure: She used tanning beds all winter to maintain her tan.
Health concerns about skin cancer have led to age restrictions and warning requirements in many places.
