Alternatively they can use just a regular lamp with a full spectrum bulb at around, as I recall, 6000K - 6600K color temperature.
But your assumption was not even close to correct...so THERE....  ...hehehehe.... |
Sorry, but... Nope. :P
98% of sunlight enters through the eyes, and 2% through the skin. The 2% on the skin is important because that is the only way your body can develop vitamin D which is essential for calcium production to make strong bones and strong teeth (and even for eye health).
What you're talking about is melatonin, that is important for your circadian rythm among other things. Lack of this will causa insomnia, depression (it's behind the well known seasonal depression), etc. And that's what the treatment you described is for. Otherwise, there's vitamin D supplements, no need for such treatment.
You just mixed both things in that statement in your other post.
