Basking Lamp
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.
Terms
Basking Lamp is sold for animal use only. It is not designed to diagnose, treat, or cure any disease. According to the FDA, the UV light produced by the basking lamp may be harmful to human skin or eyesight.
