    this works the same way as tanning. The 420nm and below light creates thymine dymers in the DNA of the bacteria, which ultimately leads to their death.

    If your bulb puts out this wavelength then it may work... but I have no clue what the threshold for an effective vs. ineffective intensity is?

    My mom runs the red light therapy booth in her salon it's supposed to eliminate scars stretch marks acne and wrinkles if it works or not I'm not sure I've never used it and haven't gone in enough to notice customer results as far as your led as long as the spectrum is exact then you should be fine
