Hi, welcome to psoriasisclub. 
Light therapy is a well known approach for Psoriasis sufferers, and the great thing about it is that it mostly works for most of us.
The disadvantage is that the intensity of the light gives it a limit for your body to be in this strong light.
Of course I disagree with Fred. Don’t worry, that is very common…, That it would not be a long term solution. It indeed is not a long term solution with the current use of intensity of light. But in case it might work for you, it is possible to switch to a low intensity light therapy at home. This has been researched and I have posted about this in the post RE: Clearance and remission duration to UVB phototherapy, only it is still not being recognised by default medicine as they don’t have the attitude of looking outside the box.
There is a picture of such a unit in this post RE: Home 6' NB UVB Distance From Lights?
Anyway, good luck with the light treatment. After that there still is a big set of treatments.
