UV-B lamps are lamps that emit a spectrum of ultraviolet light with wavelengths ranging from 290–320 nanometers. This spectrum is also commonly called the biological spectrum due to the human body's sensitivity to light of such a wavelength.^[1] UV-B light does not tan the skin very much, compared to the UV-A lamps that are used in tanning beds.
