Have you considered the spray on tan?
I've done it myself and love it. I don't have your skin type but I feel it is safer than the UV rays.
It's called MYSTIC tan and most salons are offering it now.
You stand naked in a small room, it sprays you down in the front for about 8 seconds, then you turn and it sprays for another 8 seconds.
After about an hour you see the difference!
Just word of caution, don't do it when it's raining outside and don't touch water for about 6 hrs after...otherwise you get streaks. (they give you all this detail when you go)

Just a thought...it may be the safest for you if you want your skin darker.

I doubt you'd tan under the lights because of how fair you say you are, you'd just burn and that's leading to trouble.

Good luck in whatever you decide though.
