OT.Sun Lamp question

Is an infrared(brooder) heat bulb the same wave length as a sun lamp ? Will it give you a tan ? Have a bad case of Psoriasis (sp?)that is about to drive me nuts.Can't go to Florida until February. Also can't see myself going to a tanning salon at my age either. Young girls would probably think I was a dirty old man.lol.
 
Infrared is a wavelength longer (lower frequency) than visible light. Ultraviolet is shorter (higher frequency) than visible. IR warms you, but UV gives you a suntan or sunburn.

..and in past years I have been able to buy suntan lamps at hardware store in a standard lamp base flood style bulb.
