Dear TanningBeds.org,

What would cause the acrylic to burn the back of your body when you are tanning? The acrylic is new and so are the bulbs.

What is most common when it comes to getting burned (as in “heat”, not UV) from an acrylic is because a cooling fan is not working, or something is blocking the air flow. An example: if you go inside a tanning bed to clean it, and it had foam inserts to channel air, and you removed them. If it is a burn from heat, it will almost always be related to air flow, one way or another.

First, make sure the fans are working. Next, make sure you assembled the bed correctly when you replaced the lamps. Anything that changes the airflow can lead to this exact problem.
