Can you get vitamin d from street lights, lamp, or light in your house?

I know that we can obtain vitamin D from the sunlight, but recently it keeps raining. So I want to know if we can obtain vitamin D from artificial lights like the street lights?

No, you need to get vitamin D from the sunlight. Although LED street lights can emit a little UV light, the amount is not enough. Besides, the largest part of the light they emit is visible light, which has a different wavelength from UV light. The amount of UV light in LED lights is too little to have any obvious influence on the human body.

What Others Are Asking

Why are most of the street lights post-top?

I have seen many street lights that are post-top. But it is also possible to hang the lamp on some steel cables between the buildings or use the outreach arm. Why aren’t the other ways popular?

Why do we not have street lights on some highways?

I suddenly realize that there are no street lights on the highways and it is kind of scary. Why don’t we have street lights on the highways? Won’t that be safer?
