She lived in North Carolina, was a Caucasian woman.
She did an experiment where she sat outside for 15 min or so in the winter.
She was able to increase her vitamin D levels a lot.
Search and you should be able to find her post.
I think her name started with Terri ?

Sperti lamp is a great idea.
I am also thinking of getting one.

Vanilla Orchid: how do you use it? Put on the googles and expose large parts of the body for 5 min every day?

Yes, I put on the goggles that come with it and sit in front of it (naked!) for 5 minutes. The lamp has a 5 minute timer on it. I alternate front and back.

It works. We have used it for several years. It is generally too cold where we live to expose much bare flesh, so we use it all year round.

Do you know how much the D lamp raised your vit D? Is it safe to use? Others can also share their experince with it. I dont mind spending 500 bucks if it is safe and works!

If you do a search here for the word "Sperti" you will see many posts, including mine in which I share my experiences.
