Therapy Light vs. Vitamin D Lamps — What’s the Difference?

Therapy Light vs. Vitamin D Lamps — What’s the Difference?

Both therapy lights and vitamin D lamps are popular during winter, but they serve different purposes. Understanding the difference helps you choose the right one for your needs.

1. Purpose and Function

  • Therapy light focuses on mood regulation and circadian rhythm balance by simulating bright, natural daylight without UV rays.

  • Vitamin D lamps, on the other hand, emit controlled UVB light to stimulate the skin’s production of vitamin D.

2. Which One Do You Need?

If you experience low mood, tiredness, or irregular sleep cycles during winter, a therapy light is ideal. If your doctor confirms a vitamin D deficiency, a UVB lamp may be recommended under guidance.

3. Safety Considerations

Therapy lights are UV-free and safe for daily use. Vitamin D lamps require more caution, as UV exposure can affect sensitive skin or eyes if misused.

4. How Therapy Light Supports Well-Being

Even without producing vitamin D, therapy lights help your body and mind stay balanced by replicating the energizing effects of natural sunlight — safely and effectively.

5. Why GLOWRIUM Therapy Lights Stand Out

GLOWRIUM therapy lights use precise, full-spectrum technology that supports mood and energy naturally, offering the brightness of daylight with no UV exposure.
