When we think of artificial ultraviolet light we often think of tanning beds. Most are unaware that tanning beds only contain one part of the ultraviolet spectrum, causing cellular harm. The best way to dose ultraviolet light from artificial sources is to mix in some visible red and near infrared light; that is how the sun does it.

Kris Sweeting, creator of EMR Tek, was raised with tanning beds in his bedroom since he was five years old. Diagnosed with vitiligo at 3, he committed his teenage years to solving that issue and succeeded using light therapy.

In this interview he talks about the human photoprotective response, why a sunburn is not actually a burn, what melanogenesis means, how seed oils gave him an age spot, why his UV lights use Philips bulbs, the difference between UVA, UVB and UVC wavelengths, what narrowband ultraviolet light means, the benefits of UV beyond vitamin D, his thoughts on vitamin D supplements, and much more.
