When you wear a pair of Sperti protective goggles (eyewear)(colors vary as shown) they can protect
your eyesight while you expose yourself to the UV radiation of a Sperti sunlamp. These may serve you
well with other units, but no claim to vision protection is made or inferred with these protective goggles
with any sunlamp or tanning bed except with Sperti sunlamps for which they are designed and provided with
new Sperti lamp purchases.
Almost every living person on planet earth knows full well that eBay buyers go on-line
in search of that special bargain that can enhance their appearance, is durable, performs
perfectly, yields personal comfort, provides safety and is priced low enough to brag about.
We do it too!
It has come to our attention that quite a few working vintage Sperti sunlamps are being auctioned
without their original protective goggles (eyewear.) While the auction price may well be lucrative
to the eBay buyer, to this Sperti Distributor it is unacceptable to unnecessarily risk damage to the eBay buyer's vision
due to potential use of the sunlamp without the required protective goggles (eyewear.)
For over 66 years Sperti has been a responsible leader in developing tanning sunlamps for home use. Throughout their
existence, Sperti has always provided goggles (eyewear protection) with each sunlamp sold.
Currently, Sperti UV blocking replacement goggles (eyewear) conform with all FDA performance standards (21 CFR 1040.20) for
use with Sperti sunlamps. The elastic headband is latex free and adjustable. The nosepiece is also adjustable. The eye candy protective eyewear is
now being included with purchases of new Del Sol and Sentosa units only. All other new unit sales include the UV blocking
protective goggles (eyewear.)
Sperti has always provided the protective eyewear to shield customers' eyes from potentially harmful ultraviolet
light. The protective goggles block damaging uv radiation which your very thin eyelids can not do alone.
As you know about sunburns, uv damage has been shown to be cumulative meaning that the effects of damage
may not be instantaneously noticeable, but it is occurring nonetheless. When considering uv damage to your eye, you are
actually discussing how the eye's lens can completely absorb the shorter UVB wavelength and when absorbed by the cornea
these rays can cause corneal burns (Corneal sunburns if you will.)
Sperti protective goggles, protect your eyes when using your Sperti sunlamp. That is the simple truth.
Sperti is an extremely responsible manufacturer and makes these replacement goggles available to you for your own protection.
Just like you can drive a horse to water, you can not make them drink. So it is with suntanners. If you have a working Sperti
sunlamp without protective goggles (eyewear) then it is totally your
choice as to whether you consider your eyesight priceless and this offer to acquire a new replacement pair of Sperti protective
goggles (eyewear) a bargain.
These goggles are comfortable as they adjust to fit. They are economically priced under $10. They meet the government's
performance standards spelled out below. They are durable as you can see by the many auctions which still include the original
protective goggles after years of use. These replacement goggles will keep you safer while using your Sperti sunlamp. And, the
most important appearance benefit of all - is your year round beautiful - envious - suntan provided by your Sperti sunlamp.
Below - you can buy now.
So just what does the United States Government Say in the pertinent part of their Consolidated Federal Regulation (CFR)?
PROTECTIVE EYEWEAR [21 CFR 1040.20(C) (4)](4𢴎6 Edition)
