Abstract: A tanning apparatus for radiation treatment for personal care includes at least one gas discharge UV lamp (7), at least one ballast (8) connected in series with said at least one gas discharge lamp, and at least one incandescent lamp separate from the gas discharge lamp or lamps. The weight of the inductive ballast is reduced in that the incandescent lamp or lamps (8) is or are included in the ballast or ballasts (8).

Abstract: The invention relates to an irradiation device (1) comprising a base part (2), a support (3) longitudinally extending from the base part (2) and enclosing an angle (a) with a vertical axis V, and a housing (4) comprising a central axis (5), at least one radiation unit (6), and a radiation emission plane (7), said housing (4) being pivotally connected to said support via a pivot shaft (8), said housing (4) being pivotable between an operational position (A), in which the radiation emission plane (7) is horizontal (X), and a rest position (B), in which the radiation emission plane (7) vertical (Y), and the central axis (5) of the housing (4) encloses the angle (a) with the vertical axis (V), the pivot shaft (8) extending from the support enclosing an angle (a/2) with the horizontal plane (X) and with the vertical plane (Y).
