I can't see much evidence in your link showing that light therapy is of any generic benefit as far as Vitamin D is concerned.

There is some evidence that it can help people with cystic fibrosis or short bowel syndrome (Treatment of vitamin D deficiency with UV light in patients with malabsorption syndromes: a case series) but I can't find anything which suggests that it may be of general help in this context.

It is not UV...it does not have UV wavelength built in. All the lights for SAD will not stimulate vitamin D.
