My understnding is that normal window glass has a UV rating of 10 and that 10 mins at a time was o.k. I wonder if anyone really knows, or if we are all just guessing. It would be really good to have an AFFORDABLE portable BiliLight unit. MM - Original Message - From: M T

Hi Tina, my understanding is that normal bright 'white' daylight in a well lit room is adequate to facilitate the conversion of bilirubin in it's fat soluble form stored in the tissue, to the water soluble form, which is then returned to the bloodstreamfor processing through the GI system
