The ultimate light bulb for your health and well-being! Chromalux® full spectrum lamp has been enhancing people's lives and the spaces they live in since it was first created in Finland over 60 years ago.
The Chromalux® incandescent lamp creates a soothing yet vibrant interior space under which you'll love to live, work, and play.
All Chromalux® bulbs contain neodymium glass which filters out yellow and other dulling frequencies of the light spectrum, resulting in purified light with enhanced violet, blue, green, and red tones. The result is an environment that comes to life: colors are more vibrant, textures enhanced, and contrast increased.
Benefits
Many of the benefits of Chromalux® lie in our signature neodymium glass, which purifies light to provide the ultimate soft, crisp, and pure natural light that helps you see better and makes you feel better, all while providing your body with the pure, full spectrum of visible (and non-visible light) it requires.
Feel Better: Well-being all year round
Chromalux® provides your body with the pure full spectrum light it was designed to receive by closely mimicking nature's sunlight.
Just like the quality of food we ingest, the quality of light we use can make a difference in our overall well-being and vitality.
Chromalux® bulbs contain more of the soothing red spectrum with no artificial peaks in the visible light spectrum, which is consistent with natural daylight, and unlike most types of lighting available today.
See Better: Eye Health, Visual Comfort+Acuity
Chromalux® bulbs are naturally low in flicker, but the real difference is seen through its signature neodymium glass, which filters glare and creates better contrast and definition between colors, tones, and textures, to finally allow your eyes to relax and see clearer. Thanks to these inherent chromatic balance and color discriminating qualities, Chromalux® has been a top recommendation for the low vision population since the 1980s, and has been shown to enhance visual acuity.
Enhanced Environments: Pure+Vivid Colors
Chromalux® is the original neodymium glass light bulb, which works by purifying the visible light spectrum - removing glare and dulling frequencies - while strengthening violet, red, blue, and green values. As a result, light is filtered, cutting glare and revealing the most beautiful crisp and vivid colors.
The Chromalux® light bulb brings the beautifully enhanced colors, texture, and contrast inherently present under natural sunlight, back into the home.
Under Chromalux® light, you'll notice colors, textures, and tones become more vibrant and your home more alive: very much like photoshop for real life!
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.
Chromalux® full spectrum light bulbs are great for people, pets, and plants alike!
Frosted vs. Clear Glass
Both frosted and clear glass Chromalux® bulbs are made with our unique neodymium glass formulation. Neodymium is compounded into the glass itself and is never coated or painted on. This is part of what makes the light of Chromalux® so special.
Choose frosted glass for a softer, smoother feel.
Choose clear glass for a more vivid, "crisp" feel. Clear glass is a few lumens brighter than frosted. Use clear in covered or shaded lamps, as the filament will be visible.
Clear glass = crisp + vivid
Frosted glass = soft + smooth
Both are equally beautiful + natural. Try them all!
Appearance + Specs
Please note that many of our bulbs are incandescent technology. Incandescent light bulbs emit heat, a completely normal function of their nourishing benefits and the infrared energy produced. This means you must wait a few minutes for the bulb to cool before attempting to unscrew or touch after use. If heat and healthy lighting aren't your thing, we suggest trying our LED bulbs instead.

Our Magic Element
Without ever turning it on, the most noticable quality of a Chromalux® light bulb is its lovely lavender glass. Responsible for this lovely tint and the pure light output of Chromalux® is the element neodymium.
A stunning lavender or blue color in appearance, neodymium is an earth element with some unique color enhancing and purification qualities.
Neodymium acts as a filter - absorbing dulling components of the visible light spectrum - like yellow - to purify your environment and naturally enhance colors and textures.
When used in Chromalux® light bulbs, these color enhancing and purification qualities are simply stunning.
FAQ
What is the difference between a regular incandescent bulb and a Chromalux® incandescent bulb?
Other than superior bulb construction and quality, the main difference of a Chromalux® bulb is of course its unique neodymium glass composition, neodymium being the element that gives our bulbs their beautiful lavender appearance and outputs a pure and beautifully crisp vivid light. The Chromalux® bulbs gives off a uniquely purified light with a "rosy" feel. Colors appear more vivid, contrast is enhanced, and everything just looks and feels better!
What is neodymium?
A common earth element, neodymium (pronounced nee-oh-di-mee-um) is compounded into the glass of all Chromalux® light bulbs and gives the bulbs their characteristic lavender colored glass. Acting as a sort of filter and magnifier, neodymium purifies the visible spectrum of light (particularly the yellow/green dulling wavelengths of light that our eyes are most sensitive to), while enhancing the appearance of reds, blues, and increasing contrasts between colors and tones.
Whereas most light bulbs (whether LED, incandescent, or halogen) produce dull light and can muddle colors as compared to natural daylight, Chromalux® and its special neodymium technology brings meaning to the phrase "seeing life in full color!"
Does this bulb have UV?
Chromalux® bulbs have a balanced visible spectrum of light, in addition to nourishing infrared. There is no UV light in these!
Can I use these bulbs at night?
Absolutely! In fact, we recommend it. Incandescents are perfect light sources to use at night due to their limited blue light wavelengths. Use them also during the day for a more lively and colorful space too!
Are these dimmable?
Yes! All our incandescent bulbs are dimmable with the exception of the clear glass reflector (R20/R25/R30/R40) flood bulbs.
