Development never stops at Sun Capsule. For those of you who are old enough to have followed the evolution of Sun Capsule over the past 30 years (see "About Us") it will come as no surprise that our latest entry will again re-set the bench mark for fast, powerful, profitable, reliable…and beautiful!
We really wanted to introduce something very special for our 30th anniversary. Something that would overshadow anything we’ve done in the past, something that would be greater in significance than anything anyone had ever seen before. We have accomplished this and more with our new series, aptly named Eclipse.
Whether you choose the 8 minute, 9 minute or state-of-the-art 250 watt, 7 minute model, Eclipse is a refinement of everything you ever wanted in a Sun Capsule, or any vertical tanning system for that matter. Read further and you’ll realize that next to an Eclipse, everything else simply pales by comparison.
Eclipse 250/7
This is it. If ever there was a Sun Capsule that epitomizes what power, performance and reliability represent in a tanning machine, look no further. The Eclipse 250/7 has it all. 250 watts of intense power, driving a proprietary 2 meter Cosmolux VHR/HP sunlamp to heights only dreamed of in the past. The result is a deep dark tan that could be mistaken for something you’d get from a high pressure system. It’s a 7 minute experience that words can’t describe. Pretty amazing? That’s just 30 years of Sun Capsule technology at work.
What’s more, the elevated floor puts the tanner in The Zone for the deepest, darkest head to toe tan ever imagined. As with any Eclipse, it comes standard with adjustable positioning devices. You can also order your Eclipse with optional frosted acrylics and an all new 8 sided dressing room with 30% more space.
And only Sun Capsule can offer you the flexibility to color match your Eclipse to your salon décor. Or take it a step further and let our graphic arts department design a one-of-a-kind look, designed expressly for you, that will enhance your brand and logo.
The best part, the new Eclipse Series is designed to fit into your budget as well as your equipment lineup. We offer the most unique acquisition plan in the industry. As we say in our ads, “Don’t buy it, lease it or finance it…FLEX IT!” When you see how easy it is to own an Eclipse with our Flex Plan, you’ll never want to do business any other way.
And if you have equipment just taking up space, we’ll buy it from you to make room for your new Eclipse. Only Sun Capsule can offer you all this. Let us show you how to fire up your customer base and your profits with an all new 250 watt, 7 minute Eclipse.

Eclipse 220/8
The Eclipse 220/8 has all the features of our state-of-the-art Eclipse 250/7, it’s just a minute slower. 220 watts of intense power, driving the same proprietary 2 meter Cosmolux VHR/HP sunlamp to dizzying heights. The result is a deep dark tan that could be mistaken for something you’d get from a high pressure system. It’s a crowd pleaser any way you slice it. Pretty amazing? That’s just 30 years of Sun Capsule technology at work.

It’s hard to call the Eclipse 200/9 an entry level unit, even though it’s priced like one. This 9 minute screamer incorporates a very ‘hot’ 200 watt ballast that pushes the UVA output of our proprietary 2 meter Cosmolux VHR/HP sunlamp to its’ limits. The result is a deep dark tan that could be mistaken for something you’d get from a high pressure system. Pretty amazing? That’s just 30 years of Sun Capsule technology at work.

At Sun Capsule, we believe in getting the most out of our pro- prietary 2 meter (6’7”) lamp.
As most people know, because of the cathode at each end of a lamp, there’s virtually no UV output coming from the first and last five inches of any sunlamp.
So why use a 6’7” lamp in a vertical tanning system when your average customer is between 5’2” and 5’10”? It seems like a lot of the UV output is going right over your customers’ head, while missing their lower legs.
Why not elevate the floor and position the customer in the performance range of the lamp? Something we like to call ‘The Zone’.
When your customers step into an Eclipse they’re positioned in the optimum performance range of the 2 meter sunlamp, guaranteeing a perfect tan from head to toe, every time.
This is just one reason why Sun Capsule has remained on the cutting edge of performance for the past 30 years.
In Today’s Market, Having the Best isn’t a Luxury – It’s a Necessity
Our mission at Sun Capsule is simple. Give our customers the competitive edge. And the new Eclipse Series will put your salon in a league of its’ own, regardless of which model you choose.
Anybody who owns an ultra high performance Sun Capsule knows there is something special about them. The power. The cooling. The deepest, darkest tan in the shortest time imaginable. The new Eclipse Series captures the magic like no other Sun Capsule. The Eclipse features the most powerful 2 meter Cosmolux VHR/HP lamp ever built, and a ballast that drives the lamp all the way to 250 watts.
The patented blend of 4 phosphors mirror the high pressure UV spectrum, producing almost 3 times the UVA output of a typical 160 watt lamp. The deep dark tan from an Eclipse rivals the tan produced from high pressure systems but at a fraction of the cost.
There is nothing remotely close that will produce such a breathtaking tan in just a few short sessions, and make as much money in the process. ![]()
Size Matters
It’s huge! Sexual innuendos aside, when you step into this spacious 8 sided dressing room, you instantly get a feeling of ‘Big’. Complete with mirror, vanity shelf, coat hooks and chair, the private dressing room has a 30% larger interior, almost 16 square feet, yet it doesn’t take up any more overall space than our original 6 sided dressing room.
And speaking of dressing rooms, Sun Capsule is the only tanning system to offer a completely integrated changing room as part of the product. It’s not an afterthought. It was designed that way from the beginning to give your customer a total sense of privacy.
The important thing to remember is that you can order your Eclipse either way; with or without the integrated changing room. Very cool. ![]()
If'n it's Good... Patent It!
The Eclipse features our patented 5.5 sided design that delivers 20% more UV output to the front of the body with less lamps than our original 6 sided design.
You thought this was going to be something naughty, didn’t you? Standing comfortably in a vertical system just makes the time go by faster. Of course, in an Eclipse, you are only in there for a few short minutes to begin with, but we want you standing in the right place when you tan so we have added some really neat positioning devices.
Rather than the hand grips positioning the customer, our latest innovation allows the customer to position the hand grips. This clever variable-position device adjusts to each individual, allowing them to stand in the most comfortable spot while tanning.
By the way, you don’t have to stand on your tip toes like Vanessa. We just thought it added something to the photo. O.K. So it’s a little naughty. ![]()
Frosted acrylics? In a Sun Capsule? Blasphemy! We spent 30 years perfecting the perfect metal lamp guard. We spaced the vertical wires so they lined up in between the lamps so as not to interfere with UV output. We painted them with a special military spec paint (at about $800 per gallon) similar to the same paint used on the B1 Stealth bomber, resulting in an increased UV reflectivity. Why would we ever offer the new Eclipse series with optional frosted acrylics? They are expensive, and as time wears on, they cut down the UV transmittance and need to be replaced. And of course, cleaning becomes a chore.
So why offer an optional frosted acrylic package? They look the balls and some customers won’t order a tanning machine without them. So there. ![]()
Something that really separates a Sun Capsule from the competition is our ability to give our customers a special look that will set them apart from everyone else. It can be as simple as color matching your Eclipse to the colors in your salon. Or it can be as involved as our graphic arts department creating a one-of-a-kind Eclipse that incorporates your branding and personality.
There are lots of things you can only get from a Sun Capsule. 250 watt performance. An elevated floor for head to toe tanning. An integrated dressing room. A cooling system with a 24 mph breeze for no-sweat tanning. Just to mention a few.
But whether you are a single salon owner or a multi salon chain, only Sun Capsule can offer you individuality.
Yea, we know. After going through the worst economic downturn in most of our lifetimes, you’re feeling kinda light right now. You’re asking yourself “Can I really afford a Sun Capsule?” “Do I really need the best, or can I get by with something less?”
In the past, ‘top of the line’ Sun Capsules have been out of reach for a lot of salons. Today, you’ll be pleasantly surprised at just how affordable the new Eclipse really is. Think of it like buying a flat screen TV five years ago. Today you’ll get a lot more for less.
Our goal is to make the Eclipse available to every salon in North America. There are many ways to own an Eclipse, but in today’s economy, most of our customers are taking advantage of the most unique financing plan in the industry.
Imagine an instant approval process with as little as $500 down and no fixed monthly payments!
In the mean time you profited about $40,000. There is no reason to settle for less than the best. We’ve helped thousands of salon owners to own a state of the art Sun Capsule, and the Eclipse is the best of the best.
Give us a call today to learn more about our FLEX PLAN. Remember, don’t lease it, finance it or buy it…Flex It!

First of all, we thought of this catch phrase long before President Obama. We have been taking old equipment in trade on new state-of-the-art Sun Capsules for almost a decade.
By the way, the recession is over. It’s time to get your head out of the sand and start investing in your business. Or, get left behind. Look around your salon. What equipment is just taking up space and not making you the kind of money it should?
If you ask our customers, they will tell you unequivocally, there is nothing that will make as much money as a Sun Capsule. So, out with the ‘old’ and in with the ‘new’.
The bad news is that clunker is costing you money. The good news is we’re willing to pay you to get rid of it. Give us a call today to find out how much.
