MyGREEN BASKING LAMP

There is an acute need for a narrowband, LED ultraviolet phototherapy lamp for at-home use that provides optimal wavelengths for Vitamin D production and the skin protection offered by red and infrared wavelengths.  Such a lamp could be safer, more economical, and more effective than the Sperti lamp. Moreover, coupling the UV with existing red and infrared phototherapy technologies could provide additional protective benefits to users.

​

The lamp pictured is a test prototype.  It is not cleared by the FDA for marketing as safe or effective for any human use.

 

The Basking Lamp will support Vitamin D synthesis and a base tan.  However, it is not a tanning lamp, nor a Vitamin D lamp, because it does not deliver UVB radiation in isolation.  It is for basking, like reptiles do in the sun.  The Basking Lamp combines UV with the protective and therapeutic benefits of NIR and other wavelenghts.

Basking Lamp has 900 LEDs:

NIR/Amber mode 970nm 810nm 590nm.  

• 970nm protects against sunburn https://awsum.box.com/s/b9zwh4ww5oy0729rhl335yevfu83o79a

• 810nm (invisible NIR) powers cytochrome C oxidase (CCO) enzyme in the mitochondria to produce ATP. https://awsum.box.com/s/rr9abaz45qfxl8zjkpxohs3xuv2j8pbw

• 590nm (visible Amber) shrinks subcutaneous fat cells https://awsum.box.com/s/46xqdtjq8zc06py5r5p231va317mkl0h and lets the user know that the NIR lights are on, too.  The Amber always comes on when the 970/810nm is on, providing a visual awareness.

UV/Green mode 310nm 355nm 550nm

• 310nm (invisible UVB) is the optimal wavelength for synthesizing pre-Vitamin D at minimal risk of sunburn https://awsum.box.com/v/Neville2011-UVBoptimum

• 355nm (invisible UVA) is the peak absorbance for nitrite to produce NO to promote vasodilation, recovery from ice bath, and improved circulation https://awsum.box.com/s/sfbh4jsoweicgep0r2duol2tito3nb7i

• 550nm (visible green) is the peak wavelength in the shady forest and indicates that the UVA & UVB invisible lights are on https://awsum.box.com/v/Endler1993-ForestLight

 

The Basking Lamp is designed to provide the next best thing to natural sunshine and the shady forest.
