Androv 3000 uv-b lamp for vitamin d.
I never use it for more than 1 minute and I alternate between facing away and towards it. For the first month I used it every day, now more like every other day or every two days.

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.
Can I ask the difference? I'm assuming a typo, but haven't experienced sun shortage for at least six years, so I'm not sure on boom / bust cycle potential with these things.
Using once every two days = use one day, then not use it the day after.
Perhaps you meant "once every three days", i.e. use it one day, then not use it for two days?
Jokes aside, skin is very photo-active and I do think lamps can help greatly against these kind deficiencies.
Most lamps emit a line spectrum though, so it is not like real sunlight. I wonder if that is the reason people going to solaria often seem to have weird skin tones. Ask a dermatologist and don't forget eye protection.
Apart from that it has the same side effects as sun exposure. Too much leads to skin aging, sunburn, cancer, etc.
