I worked on several tanning salons for a big chain and there is absolutely no diversity you can take. The load on the ones I used to work on was somewhere around 10.4 kW per bed. They would actually design their entire store on what their electrical service could handle.

I don't know if a tanning bed is a continuous load or not. But I would call the manufacturer and find out.

They are completely filled with lights but they dont run for more then 3 hours. They usually run for 5-15 mins, and then a fan runs for another 10 mins after while they cool down. If you took them at 125% it would probably exceed the MOCP.
