    You can make specific lamps for specific uses. Putting it in all lamps would just make it very difficult to regulate exposure.

      that’s why you’d make the level of UVB radiation low enough that people could safely spend 24/7 under it, but high enough that it provides a health benefit

      You might not get 100% of your vit D levels this way, but perhaps just a fraction of it. Depends on how the risk benefit calculation works out.

      and of course infrared is generally harmless as long as it’s not strong enough to cook you.
