Dr. Peat has mentioned in an interiew that he uses a mercury vapor lamp to obtain his vitamin D.
Mercury vapor bulbs are an interesting technology because they give off UVA and UVB light. They are often used to provide UV to reptiles living in aquariums and can be found in pet stores or even on amazon.
When it comes to supplements you never truly know what you're getting so using light for this is the purest of ways... if only there was a way to know the exact dose you're getting.
I want to add one to my light setup but the worry of course is getting too much UV and causing damage.
Does anyone have experience using this type of lamp?
I'd like to know an approximate dose per wattage for these things that's good that won't overdo it.
