Hey there! After recently purchasing and testing the Sperti vitamin d lamp, I decided to have a go at building my own, and boy am I glad I did.
This build incorporates four 54w dragon D3 bulbs made by Arcadia. Testing was done using a UVA, UVB, UVC, and UVI meter to compare the DIY output to Spertis.
The DIY setup produces far more UVB and UVA than Spertis at half the cost. It’s also quite a bit safer to use as well according to the UVB to UVI ratio.
Here’s a link to the full build article for those interested.
We’ve been using this for about a month now and it feels great to use, much better than the Sperti lamp in my opinion. Genuinely feels like basking in sunlight.
So anyways, just wanted to out this out there in case anyone else was interested in building one of these, now you can!
