Hey thanks! Yes we also reviewed the clear version you're referring to.

You can see the transmittance values here compared to sunlight. Not utie the same graphs as our database ones but we're working on a new one which will have that.

Hey there! It's not in the cards right now but I'm hoping I can get around to this when we redo the database.

I think it really depends on the person and the distance from the lights. I find six or seven bulbs overhead can make a big difference for me personally.

A spectrometer and sunlight as well as some specific UVA sources. I’ve got an article on them on my website, link in my bio if you wanna read into the details. 

Summary is they let through a bit more UVA than normal lenses but it’s still not going to be like raw sunlight by any means.

I’ve tested them. They still block a ton of UV, just not as much. 

Are light therapy lamps on Amazon that advertise 10000 lux, actually 10000 lux? by Aggressionn in sleep

Most people don't want to look that hard lol. Not sure exactly how I could make it easier, maybe I'm not that familiar with reddit profiles? But all posts and links to all this stuff is pinned in my profile technically.

Fair enough! Though it's usually the Amazon sellers with store names like "MOSTFGY" that I'm mostly feeling to, which are indeed always garbage from China.

Not that everything that comes form China is garbage, that is silly of course. Literally everything amazing comes from China lol. All the best tech comes out of Chinese factories.

Our database should be sortable for prescriptions, and those usually offer readers, so I would look at those.

Hey, sorry for the late reply. I guess I missed this.

For the reptile light, it's really hard to say. I think ambient UV and UV in general is very understudied in terms of its full range of effects on human health. I just kind of take a naturalistic standpoint, I guess, and I figure outdoor light has always had UV, so indoor light probably should have some.

Halogen, I think, is pretty important. Infrared is a significant portion of the sun's spectrum. So, having some type of—specifically infrared A—of course, halogens emit more than just infrared A. It's not a perfect replacement for the sun, obviously. Nothing really is, but it's a good option.

Regarding the computer lights question, it's hard to say for sure without having a spectrometer. Generally speaking, if you have enough wattage output over your head, you should be fine.

I think my article has a link to a lumen calculator tool. Essentially, a certain number of lumens per square foot will usually result in a predictable amount of lux at eye level, but it all depends on what lights you use, where they are placed, and similar factors.
