Abstract
A light engine that produces UVAlight, but not UVAor UVB radiation, that will provide a human or animal subject a beneficial application of artificial UVAlight without the deleterious effect of the UVAand UVB light. Methods of providing UVAlight to the human or animal subject over various periods of time provide positive treatments that can reduce stress, reduce anxiety, increase a pain threshold, and induce interferon production. Exposure to UVAwavelength light (360-400 nm) provides a positive effect on both humans and animals. This is especially true when the humans or animals do not receive UVB and UVAat the time that the UVAlight is received, and the ratio of UVAlight to (UVAlight+visible light) is greater than 10%.
