I'm currently researching this (RP recommended it to me via email). I plan to start using one in winter. Im frankly suprised as well that more people on this forum haven't shared their experiences.Nobody ever used something similar?

I don't know specifically for the Dermalight, but I believe the Philips medical UVB bulbs for psoriasis can be used daily. But people start with very short treatment times.Is it ok to use everyday as long as I don't get sunburnt?
I've been doing the approach I describe here for a couple years now, and it's boosted me out of deficiency range. Although knowing what I know now, I'd probably just go with the UVB narrowband bulbs like the Rayminder if I were starting from scratch. I figure they're both safer and might be less time-consuming.he made the following recommendation, "Much larger vitamin D supplements might help, or using an ultraviolet light." That's all he said on that topic, he didn't give an exact protocol unfortunately.

Thanks for this, that seems like a really good deal! I ended up spending more than that *trying* to be frugal with smaller bulbs/fixtures.
I do 90 minutes every day (circumstances permitting). I point two of the bulbs pointed at my back/shoulders (about 7 inches away), and one at my chest (about 12 inches away). They're in mirror-reflective / directional fixtures. I assume that'd be a recklessly high "dose" with some of the other bulbs though, I've noticed they usually suggest starting with a minute or two. Mine are the 23watt Exo Terra CFL UVB reptile bulbs, which I thought would be fairly strong, but they didn't budge my levels until I started using them for long periods at close distances.How long do you use your UVB narrowband bulb for at a time, what distance away from you and how often? Thanks!

Yeah, I know it sounds crazy, but that's what it took to start budging my vitamin D levels. I'd really like to compare some of the other bulbs, I think a lot of my problem is their output/spectrum, they're wasting a lot of power in wavelengths I don't want:You use uvb bulbs for an hour and a half a day?
