Abstract: A tanning booth has a tanning bed and a horizontally pivotable irradiation cover pivotable into an irradiation position above the tanning bed and pivotable into an access position allowing access to the tanning bed, wherein in the irradiation position the irradiation cover surrounds the tanning bed at least partially. The irradiation cover is shaped as a spherical segment or a cylindrical segment and has a curved inner wall facing the tanning bed, wherein the inner wall has a reflective layer. Irradiation light sources emit light beams onto the reflective layer of the inner wall.
