Zusammenfassung:The invention relates to a UV fluorescent tube for tanning the skin by means of UV ra- diation having a discharge vessel for an electrical discharge of gas; having a discharge medium received in the discharge vessel wherein a primary radiation may be generated by means of a discharge of gas; and having a transforming agent for transforming the primary radiation into an emissible UV radiation useable for tanning. The UV fluores- cent tube in accordance with the invention is characterized in that said transforming agent is selected such that there occurs a maximum spectral intensity of sai d emissible UV radiation at a wavelength which is larger than a wavelength at which the maximum pigment darkening of the skin occurs; and that the spectral intensity of sai d emissible radiation at the wavelength where the maximum pigment darkening of the skin occurs, is smaller than 50% of the maximum spectral intensity.
