Heat levels are minimal compared to incandescent and halogen light. Print, detail and color are sharper and more accurate. Total Spectrum light is ideal for reading. We are continually reading throughout the day whether it be a good book for leisure, the daily newspaper, mail, work-related documents, etc. At times it seems never ending and our eyes are tired and strained.
Most reading material is printed on white paper which reflects glare from lights.
Total Spectrum light is absorbed by the paper allowing you to focus on the actual print or pictures. Some newspapers and paperback books are printed on recycled paper which may appear dingy, grey or brownish. Print can seem hazy and blend in with the background. Often the haze is a result of the glare from lighting. People who use Total Spectrum light have reported that reading the newspaper is easier because the haze is gone and the print seems to be more distinctive and separate from the background.
