Well, the 'active ingredient' in these things is the bulb and a reputable brand (Philips medical) runs about 150 euros for a 100w tube with a R17d plug:
You then just need the right ballast for it and a basic timer, maybe a reflector and stand and you're in business. Getting smaller qty is going to be an issue since these suppliers tend to sell in packs of 10.
Apparently the a ballast runs about 70 euros and can power two bulbs.
I might look into it since it's down right affordable compared to the alternatives.
There are handheld UVB 311 nm dispensers, which are not as efficient as whole UVB spectrum for Vitamin D production but still work and are safer.

I might use one of those for most days and a lizard UV lamp one day a week too (1 minute)
But if you find a more affordable to the Sperti please let me know
