Who supplies the bed?
Ask who the seller buys from and whether the seller is an official distributor. A supplier who is open about its status makes a safer comparison than one who is vague.

megaSun and KBL explained: who makes megaSun sunbeds and how to buy one in the UK
KBL and megaSun are the same business under two names. Here is who is behind the brand, how the range is laid out, and what to ask whoever sells you one.
The short answer
megaSun is the sunbed brand of KBL GmbH, a company based in Dernbach, Germany, whose website says development through to production happens at its headquarters. KBL’s pages do not list UK sales partners that we could find on 10 November 2026, so ask any seller who supplies and who services the bed. J Solutions is an independent supplier and installer, not the official UK distributor, and supplies new and professionally reconditioned megaSun on sale, lease or part exchange.

Who makes megaSun
megaSun sunbeds are made by KBL GmbH, whose address on the megaSun website is Ringstraße 24-26, Dernbach, Germany. The site says development through to production takes place at its headquarters. Its company page places the headquarters in the middle of Germany and describes the design as made in Germany.
That is why searches for megaSun, mega sun and KBL all lead to the same place. KBL is the company and megaSun is the product name on the beds. The pages we read do not say when the company was founded, so this guide does not either.
How the megaSun range is laid out
KBL’s own site groups its sunbeds into named ranges. This table groups the models on the list on its home page, read on 10 November 2026, and adds the power figures from the manufacturer folders and manuals we use in our salon planner where we have them. We checked those folders again on 2 November 2026.
| Range on megasun.de | Models listed | Maximum power we hold |
|---|---|---|
| K11 Air | K11 Air Select, K11 Air | K11 Air 7.8 kW with Comfort AC. Select and Plus versions up to 9.55 kW. |
| K9S | K9S | 12.3 kW with air conditioning (11.0 kW without) |
| P series | P9S, P9 | P9S 12.5 kW. P9 14.5 kW in the current folder, 14.56 kW in the 2019 manual. |
| K7 and K6 series | K7S, K6S, K7, K6, K5 | See the salon planner |
| Other ranges | A-Series, T9, 8000, 7800, 7000, LED-Tubes | 7800 Alpha HybridSun 15 kW with air conditioning |
| Tower Series | pureEnergy 5.0, smartSun, hybridSun, Optima, space 3000, space 2000 | Not in our planner |
| LightCare | R11 Air | Not in our planner |
KBL changes its range from time to time, so use the manufacturer’s current folder for the exact version you are quoted. Our best commercial sunbeds list puts the beds we supply in order of published power, with fuse and room figures, and the salon planner checks them against your supply. The hybrid sunbed systems guide explains what hybridSun means in KBL’s documents.
Ways to buy a megaSun in the UK
We did not find a dealer finder on megasun.de on 10 November 2026. Its Studios Worldwide section is a photo gallery of salons, and the contact details are the general ones for the company in Germany. So the practical route for a UK salon is to deal with a supplier and to be clear about what that supplier is.
J Solutions is an independent supplier and installer. We are not the official UK distributor of any manufacturer. These are the routes we offer on megaSun.
| Route | What it means | Where to read more |
|---|---|---|
| New | A new bed, quoted for the exact model and version, with delivery and installation available. | megaSun brand page |
| Professionally reconditioned | An older model that has been reconditioned. Ask what work was done and what comes with it. | Reconditioned sunbeds |
| Lease | Finance from £220 + VAT per month, subject to status, equipment value and finance approval. | Lease and finance |
| Part exchange | Your old beds valued against a replacement. | Reconditioned sunbeds and part exchange |
Starting prices by type of bed are on the prices page. A price for a named megaSun model is confirmed in writing, because it depends on the model, its condition and what is included.
Questions to ask any seller of a megaSun
These apply to us as much as to anyone else, and they are worth putting in writing before you commit.
Who services it?
Ask who attends a fault, how quickly, and what is covered. Read sunbed servicing and repairs for how we do it.
Which exact model and version?
The K11 Air alone comes in versions with different power and ceiling needs. Get the model, version and maximum power on the quotation, and compare quotes with the quote checklist.
New or reconditioned, and what comes with it?
Ask what was done to a reconditioned bed and what paperwork you receive. See new vs reconditioned sunbeds.
Where do lamps come from?
KBL lists its own lamps as a product line. Ask which lamps the bed uses, who supplies replacements and how hours are tracked, as set out in when to replace sunbed tubes.
What will your supply and room carry?
Most commercial megaSun beds in our planner use a 3 x 25 A supply with a K-type breaker and RCD. Your electrician confirms yours. See three-phase power and ventilation.
megaSun beds we have installed
Six of our case studies feature megaSun beds: a K11 at Deluxe Tanning Studio, the K9S at Empire Tanning Lounge and Forever Sun, the P9S at megaTan Lounge, the P9 at Paradise Tanning & Beauty and the 7800 Alpha Hybrid at Platinum Tanning.
Each is one salon’s story, so to test a bed against your own prices and costs, use the sunbed payback calculator.
Marketing claims and age
Manufacturer material for sunbeds often includes statements about skin and wellbeing. This guide does not repeat or assess them, and J Solutions does not make them. Apply the UK age rules in the regulations guide: no one under 18 may use a sunbed.

This guide is a summary for business owners, not technical or legal advice. Facts about KBL come from megasun.de, read on 10 November 2026, and power figures from the manufacturer folders and manuals listed in our salon planner. megaSun is a trademark of its owner, and J Solutions is not the official UK distributor of any manufacturer.
