Which is better for a home facial tanner?

The Heraeus lamp. It is listed as home and commercial compatible and as a direct replacement for the Philips HPA 400/30S. Confirm your unit takes a 106 mm R7s clip-in lamp first.

On paper the Philips Cleo, at 8000 hours. But a separate Philips HPA400S listing rates only 1000 hours, so check the exact model before trusting the figure. The Heraeus listing gives no life rating.

Is the Heraeus worth the extra over the Philips?

There is no Philips price to compare against. At $39.99 at Pro Salon Store as of November 4, 2026, the Heraeus is cheap for a 400 W facial lamp and is the only one of the two with a stated price.

Will the Heraeus fit my Philips HPA 400/30S unit?

The seller lists it as a replacement for the HPA 400/30S. It is a 230 V, 400 W R7s lamp with a 106 mm clip-in length, so check the holder length in your unit.

Do both need the same voltage?

Yes. Both are 230 V lamps. Do not fit either in a 125 V unit; the Philips HPA400S listing is a 125 V lamp and is a different product.

Which gives more tanning power?

The Heraeus seller claims 40% more power than the Philips HPA 400/30S. The Philips Cleo listing gives no output figure, so the claim cannot be checked against it.

Philips Cleo Facial Tanner Lamps vs HERAEUS 400W 230V CLIP IN High Pressure Facial Lamp

Both are 400 W R7s high-pressure facial lamps, but they are not the same product. The Heraeus/Cosmedico lamp is the better buy for most shoppers: it is a drop-in replacement for the Philips HPA 400/30S, is rated for home and commercial units, and costs $39.99 at Pro Salon Store as of November 4, 2026. The Philips Cleo listing is a 400 W metal halide lamp with an 8000-hour rating, but a separate Philips HPA400S listing shows only 1000 hours, so confirm the exact model and voltage before buying.
