Full spectrum lighting

I just bought a full spectrum light bulb, hoping to get some vitamin D while I read, or do other things while inside. Now that I have it home I did some searching online to learn more about the product. I am not so sure that it produces vitamin D in the skin now. Do all full spectrum light bulbs do this? I just got a small bulb that fits in a standard light fixture.

yes it does
it emanates small doses of UV spectrum
which does allow for vitamin D to be made

plus it looks nice too
very beautiful light
i love it

easy on the eyes as well
some dr's prescribe it for vision conditions

As mentioned you should be getting small doses of UV thus aiding in Vitamin D production. Full spectrum lights are 6500K or above (K=kelvin temperature value). The K value is usually mentioned on the box that contains the light bulb. The lower the K value (3000 or 3500) the more yellow the light.
