The R11 Air: A new era for wellness in tanning

Friday, November 14th, 2025

Looking at the new R11 Air, it’s exactly what you’d expect from KBL. The company has long led the way in merging performance, comfort, and forward-thinking design. The R11 is no different—except it isn’t a tanning bed at all.

The launch of the R11 Air Red Light and Infrared Light Therapy marks a milestone not only for KBL but for the North American tanning and wellness market. By design, the R11 is very much a natural sibling to the K11 Air. The two units share the same chassis, similar comfort features, and the same attention to user experience. But where the K11 focuses on tanning innovation with all-LED hybrid technology, the R11 makes a decisive move into dedicated wellness equipment. It is a full-body LED therapy device designed to harness the performance data supported benefits of red light (635 nm) and infrared light (880 nm).

R11’s hallmark KBL design elevates the presentation of wellness services, but its core advantages are sophisticated software control, user experience, and the scope of performance data backed, FDA- 510(k) clearances.

“To our knowledge there is no other manufacturer marketing directly to the tanning industry with the features, benefits, and results provided by the R11 and supported by an issued 510(k) clearance. There’s a lot of science behind it. It took a lot of time and effort—more than three years,” says Bill Pipp, VP of Sales & Marketing for Tanning Supplies Unlimited, the exclusive U.S. distributor of KBL equipment.

“It takes specialized software & power packs to drive the LEDs, and those LEDs are sourced from one of the best manufacturers in the world, to ensure the necessary performance output. With this software & powerpack technology, KBL has been able to deliver the performance output needed to deliver the features, benefits and results.”
