We've all experienced how the sun contributes to our health and well-being. The imbalanced light produced by regular light bulbs causes eye strain and fatigue, distorts the color of objects and reduces contrast. Full spectrum light bulbs, on the other hand, provide filter out the excess yellow and green wavelengths of light emitted by ordinary bulbs to create a far more balanced source of illumination. Studies have found that full spectrum light can help you to read for longer periods of time with less eye strain and create a warmer and more natural looking environment. Colors appear truer and more vibrant.
Contrast is sharper.
Many people even experience an improved mood, especially in winter when natural light can be scarce. Using technology developed in Finland, where 12 straight months of winter mean people know a good light bulb when they see it, our Full Spectrum Bulbs are made with neodymium oxide, a rare earth element. This technology helps our bulbs emit a more balanced and natural spectrum of light. In addition to high quality light, our bulbs contain krypton gas and a chrome plated brass base to give them an earth-friendly life of over 3,500 hours. If every household in the U.S. replaced just one regular incandescent with a long lasting full spectrum bulb we could save 626,000 cubic feet of landfill space and 132 million kilowatts of the energy in the form of power needed to manufacture the many incandescent bulbs just one of ours will replace.
