Sunlight through glass does not provide Vitamin D

Tangentially related, I got an androv full-spectrum lamp several years ago for some color work. It was one of the few true "full spectrum" bulbs you can get for cheap which are decently balanced without resorting to use a combination of bulbs. And yes, we tested it with a spectrometer.

Most other full-spectrum lamps I tried at the time on amazon didn't get even close.

If you never tried, working with these lamps is weird: turning it on in the evening or night by mistake _really_ wakes you up.

So yeah, I hope Androv kept up with the quality.

Maybe I should replace my daylight lamp with this, to counter the winter depression. (Norwegian).

Was that the desklamp? Do you happen to know a more specific model of such a lamp?

Yes, to be specific the 42W model. I did the order in 2010, to be specific, so some time has passed since I did the tests.
