UVL – number one UV tanning lamps, sunbeds and supplies in the UK

Welcome to UVLogistics

UVL (trading division of Lancashire Lightening Services Ltd) has been established for over 30 years. Originally the company was known as Lancashire Solarium and Leisure Services Ltd, the name was altered due to expansion of further divisions (Narva UK – General Lighting and Cosmedico Medical Systems – IPL and SHR machines).

UVL started out small, selling domestic tanning equipment into the retail market. Slowly they expanded into UV lamp sales and became a major supplier for Cosmedico, Philips and Wolff Systems. In the early days, there were many UK manufacturers of tanning equipment and UVL built a successful business supplying them with a full range of lamps and components, directly to their door. UVL quickly became the UK’s no 1 ‘One Stop Shop’ for all tanning supplies, direct to the OEM, Dealer and Salon.

Reliability, Customer service and technical assistance have been the recipe for the continuing success of the company. All goods are delivered by their own transport on scheduled delivery days. UVL guarantee no damages and payment can be made directly to the driver. This is one of many reasons why the company is successful. In 2006, UVL moved into larger premises in Preston having outgrown their current premises.

UVL encourage customers to purchase products based on quality, reliability, results and the most reliable manufacturers of UV lamps. This not only guarantees that the salon is profitable, but also ensures that the tanner (your customer) is satisfied ensuring your salons ensure repeat custom.

With the introduction of 0.3 legislation, UVL have worked closely with Cosmedico in order to ensure there are compatible 0.3 lamps to suit all tanning equipment. Changing to 0.3 lamps has also changed customer’s perception of what is important, the tanning performance and life of the lamp along with safer tanning. Especially this year UVL has seen an increase in sales for top end 0.3 lamps
