Question:
I was just curious, and maybe someone who uses light box therapy, or has
researched it, can tell me... How do tanning beds stack up as a source
for light therapy?
Answer:
The main thing with a SAD light is to get lots of light shining into
your eyes. That's the last thing you want with a UV source like a
tanning bed, hence the goggles. Being brown all over may make you feel
better about yourself, but it's not light therapy as we know it.

It has proven effective in treating seasonal affective disorder, and for some people it has ameliorated delayed sleep phase syndrome. It has recently been shown effective in non-seasonal depression. Proponents claim demonstrable benefits for skin conditions such as psoriasis and, more controversially, a degree of 'skin rejuvenation.'or treating SAD, according to experts, white light therapy is often preferred over the full-spectrum light because the additional UV light found in full-spectrum light is not necessary to achieve the antidepressant effect of the therapy, and can be harmful to the eyes.
