What is full spectrum light?
Full spectrum light is commonly defined as a light source with a color temperature between 5000K and 6500K and a CRI above 96.
However, since sunlight varies in color temperature throughout the day - warmer during dawn/dusk, cooler and whiter throughout the daytime - we find the above definition to be incomplete.
We owe this definition of full spectrum light to studies done in the 1960s which showed how plants could grow as well under an artificial light source containing a fuller, more complete spectrum of visible light as they would under natural daylight.
While many may like to define full spectrum light as one in the "cooler" daylight white color temperature range, all variations of sunlight are still full spectrum and beneficial - they just have different effects!
Full spectrum lighting can mean any bulb that either:
A) contains a full visible light spectrum and the non-visible light spectra of infrared and/or ultraviolet.
B) contains a balanced and full visible light spectrum (regardless of color temperature)
The Chromalux® full spectrum light bulb is the closest replica of natural sunlight and arguably the best light bulb for your health: it emits a balanced full spectrum of visible light in addition to the nourishing infrared spectrum - something no other full spectrum LED light bulb on the market can offer. Chromalux® is the best full spectrum light bulb for humans and use in homes. And, yes, your pets and plants will love it, too!
The beautiful difference of Chromalux® full spectrum light bulbs
Standard daylight full spectrum light bulbs are a different bulb entirely from the line of Chromalux® full spectrum light bulbs, which use neodymium glass to purify dulling frequencies of the visible light spectrum, resulting in a beautifully pure and vivid light with enhanced colors and contrast.
Standard full spectrum light bulbs are LEDs that emit a full spectrum of daylight white light (between 5000-6500K color temperature). While these bulbs can be beneficial in the morning and daytime to help with energy and alertness, most don't replicate colors well and can cast a garish appearance to everything. Many people also complain of glare and eye strain. Not to mention perhaps the most important piece: they lack infrared energy, the nourishing, invisible spectrum of light that comprises close to 40% of natural sunlight. This is full spectrum natural light vs. full spectrum LED light; we truly believe you can see and - most importantly - feel the difference.
Our full spectrum bulbs are gentler and more soothing, with more vivid colors in comparison to other full spectrum varieties. They'll enhance your environment and inspire you in a way standard full spectrum bulbs cannot!
What are the benefits?
Enhancing people's lives and the spaces they live in since it was first created in Finland over 60 years ago, Chromalux® is the original neodymium glass full spectrum light bulb, a unique light source that closely simulates sunlight by purifying the visible light spectrum.
Unlike ordinary, harsh, and frankly, uninspiring light bulbs, the Chromalux® full spectrum lamp creates a soothing yet vibrant interior space you'll love to live, work, and play under. The light of Chromalux® is equal parts healthy and beautiful - and as nourishing and colorfully pure as sunlight!
While these beautiful bulbs have little blue light and are naturally low in flicker, the real magic lies in their special neodymium glass composition, which purifies light and creates better contrast and definition between colors, tones, and textures.
The benefits of Chromalux® full spectrum light bulbs are two fold:
You’re giving your body “real” analog light, whilst also enhancing your environment and uplifting your spirit.
See Better: Experience improved clarity and sharpness.
Vibrant Colors: Transform your home with richer, more vivid colors and enhanced contrast.
Feel Better: Feel more uplifted and creative by reintroducing color into your life.
Chromalux® light truly embodies the essence of "seeing life in full color."
See better, feel better.
That’s been our motto for over 60 years and for good reason: unlike harsh, artificial lighting that can strain the eyes and dampen the spirit, the natural light of Chromalux® does as all light should: provide a pure light to help you see better and feel better.
Can I use these for SAD?
Absolutely! Chromalux® full spectrum light bulbs work very well for SAD. In fact, Chromalux® bulbs are originally from Finland, where many months of the year are spent in darkness. The special technology of Chromalux® full spectrum light bulbs helps people see better and feel better, creating a colorfully pure and natural light that mimics sunlight.
What are Chromalux® bulbs used for?
Anyone can enjoy the pure and uniquely natural light of Chromalux® full spectrum light bulbs, but here are a few common usages:
- Sunlight bulb to help with SAD or depression
- Artists looking to work under as natural a light as possible
- Beautiful, natural full spectrum light for the home
- Low vision / vision loss
Chromalux® full spectrum light bulbs are great for people, pets, and plants alike!
