If you're WFH, take the time when it is daylight to get outside. If you've been diagnosed with SAD, then the lamps can make you think you're getting sunlight, but doesn't cause Vit D production and no substitute for the real thing. Get outside as much as you can!
Lamps can help with Vit D if they produce narrowband UV B radiation. UK winter daylight is insufficient for Vit D production at the exposure levels most of us could sensibly achieve.

Very few produce vit d. They have some marketing nonsense about "vitamin L".
If you're diagnosed as SAD, you get a VAT refund on the purchase price.

"Very few produce vit d."
Agreed. Was thinking of a separate lamp really, like the terrarium ones. Have often wondered about getting something like that but not done it.

If you only take the tablets for October to February, you can make an £8 tub last 3 years... Cheaper than a fancy lamp.
