Due to the technical requirements that allow tanning lamps to actually tan the skin, they might also be appropriate for some other applications. Depending on the strength of the tanning lamp and the completeness of the light spectrum provided, tanning lamps can be used as supplementary sun lamps. This can help to reduce the effects of seasonal affective disorder (SAD), and in some instances can actually trigger the body to start producing small amounts of vitamin D. Full spectrum tanning lamps can also provide a certain amount of pure light that can make the colors viewed under the light more true than standard lamp bulbs.
