Hello, I want make UVB lamp for vitamin D production since vitamin D supplement are not only less effective but also more expensive. Regular tan lamps produce only 1% UVB and too much useless, harmful UVA. UVB narrowband, 311nm or also called lamps for skin diseases are more effective but every expensive and not so powerful. Vitamin D along with other benefits can be produced only in UVB and UVC spectrums. Cheapest option seems to be 10.0 UVB reptile lamp.
How these UVB lamps are made? Are quartz lamps with air or ozone gap suitable? I read that medium pressure mercury lamps unlike low pressure produce more UVB but where such are utilized? Regular glass blocks UVB so they are probably made from quartz.
