Morphology
The compound directly combines 'sunray' (rays of the sun / UV-like light) with 'lamp' (a light source), so its meaning — a lamp that emits sunlike/UV rays — is compositionally predictable. This is a straightforward, descriptive noun phrase following common compounding patterns, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents would reasonably infer the intended medical/cosmetic use.
Etymology
Sunray lamp comes from the image of a sunray and a lamp together: it is a light that gives bright rays like the sun indoors. That's why the name means 'a lamp used to give artificial sunlight for medical or skin treatments'.
