Dear Mr. Petry — Thank you for your thoughtful comment. We do not believe that lack of light exposure is a significant health issue for the crew. The crew members on the HI-SEAS mission do have a set on interior lights with variable outputs, primarily aimed at addressing sleep disruption issues. Our system is the same as the one on the International Space Station. For more information about life inside the habitat, please see:

So, why, don’t they have a UV-bath in the Hab…probably more sanitary, maybe especially important for Mars where sunlight is such a premium…
