Questions and answers
- Which lamp lasts longer?
- The Philips Cleo is rated at 8,000 hours on its product page. The iSOLde Cleo HPA 700 S is rated at 800 hours. That is a large gap, though real life depends on how often you run the unit.
- Is the iSOLde worth the extra $24?
- Only if you value the Cosmedico build and gold-coated ends. On price and rated life, the Philips wins clearly at $25.95 versus $49.99 as of November 3, 2026.
- Will either fit my Cleo or Bodytone unit?
- Both are 400 W R7s metal halide lamps aimed at Cleo-style facial tanners, and the iSOLde is explicitly listed for Cleo and Bodytone low pressure lamps. Check your unit's socket and wattage before ordering.
- Which is better for a salon?
- The iSOLde is marketed as home and commercial compatible. The Philips is a standard Philips MH lamp with a longer rated life, which suits high-use setups, but confirm the exact model number on the listing.
- Do they need a warm-up period?
- Metal halide lamps take a short time to reach full output. The iSOLde's gold-coated ends are designed to reach ideal operating temperature quickly. Philips does not state a warm-up figure for the Cleo.
