tanning lamp

Indoor skin darkener

A tanning lamp is an ultraviolet light source designed to darken skin, simulating the effects of sun exposure.

These lamps are the active component in tanning beds and booths at salons, though smaller versions exist for home use.

Like natural tanning, artificial UV exposure carries skin cancer risks.
