The best-selling full spectrum flood light bulb by Chromalux®, the original light for health and wellness.

 

Among our top choices for recessed fixtures, this lovely, versatile (and fully dimmable!) flood bulb is ideal for use all over your home, whether in the kitchen, living room, bedroom, home office or wherever your heart desires. This bulb has a beautifully uplifting, rosy, vivid appearance, accentuating all the colors in your environment!  

The R30 72 Watt flood lamp is our improved version of our old R30 100W frosted flood. It provides 18% more light and better lumen efficiency.

This is the perfect, beautiful, and natural light that fits most standard recessed canisters. 

Our R30 is similar in size to the commonly found BR30 LED flood bulb. It is for use in 4 or 5-inch recessed can fixtures.

Features of Chromalux® Reflector Lamps:

-Neodymium glass purifies dulling light frequencies, revealing crisp light and vivid colors.

-Real silver reflector instead of a painted reflector for superior light quality, luminosity, and brilliance.

-Manual outside frosting* instead of inside frosting for less glare and light that is softer and better for the eyes. 

    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!

    Chromalux® bulbs are the best full spectrum light bulbs for humans. But your pets and plants will love our natural light too.

    Experience life in full color

    We invite you to discover the difference a simple light bulb can make.

    The lighting you choose is the lens through which you view your surroundings. With such a profound effect on your well-being, motivation, and general outlook on life, your choice in lighting should never be an afterthought. Instead, we like to think of it as the glue that unifies all the other healthy lifestyle choices you make - like whole nutrition, exercise, supplementation, and mindfulness practices - into a beautiful, nuanced, and expressive life.

    Enhancing people's lives and the spaces they live in since it was first created in Finland over 60 years ago, Chromalux® is a simple tool you'll love to include in your daily wellness arsenal.

    Whether you'll use our light to read under, to work under, to paint under, or simply live under, flipping on the light of Chromalux® is like a warm, soothing hug that immediately uplifts your spirit.

    As you'll quickly discover, Chromalux® isn't just a light bulb, it's a way of life.

    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.

    Enhance your environment, see more clearly, improve your mood, and perhaps most importantly, feed your body real light.

    Heaven has these lights

    I could not even express how insanely amazing these lights are. I am a highly sensitive being - I cant under the blaring lights they make now. These lights me feel peace and calmness. Thank you for the gift of healthy lighting. - Dena

    Eye Relief!

    As soon as these light bulbs were put in the bathroom fixtures and I flipped the light switch, my body was able to relax and my eyes felt a prayer of gratitude!! I'm so glad and grateful to have ordered them. - Mary

    Worth Every Penny

    My kitchen has no natural lighting from windows so it was like bringing the sun into the long hours I spend prepping vegetables, juices, and smoothies. And I feel happier! Quality full spectrum lights are the answer! - Janis

    What real light looks/feels like

    The light is better than expected. Immediately after switching out our lights for these an unexpected “ahhhh” and smile came upon our faces. Middle of winter in the Pacific Northwest of the US can be tough, these lights have helped immediately. Thank you for crafting such a beautiful product! - Jeremy

    How light bulbs should be!

    I bought the 3-way bulb, and I love it. The color is great, and it’s exactly how a light bulb should be… no pale washed out white color. Just a soft, bright glow. - Nikki

    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 the difference between reflector (R) flood bulbs and PAR bulbs?

    While both are perfect for use in either recessed can or track lighting, the light beam of flood type light bulbs (R style light bulbs) have a less defined edge than a comparable PAR light bulb.

    Flood bulbs are great for general illumination and covering large areas with light.

    PAR bulbs are more like spot lights, with a defined and focused beam of light.

    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!

    Is there blue light in these?

    Like all incandescent light, the spectral balance of our light is very low in blue light and highest in red. We remind you that blue light in a full spectrum format — like that of sunlight or a full spectrum light bulb — is not an issue and actually necessary during the morning and daytime. The problem with blue light lies within unnatural emission, or blue light in isolation (device screens, generic LEDs).

    Perfect Kitchen lighting

    These floods emit wonderfully soothing (fully dimmable!) light, unlike the harsh LED lights currently on the market. Bought eight more but they are on backorder. I absolutely understand why they are sold out.. they are great lights.

    Best lighting I've had or used!

    Hi, would like to say these are the best bulbs I have ever used. CHROMALUX. Already order more. Love them. Was going to return some wrong base. But I keep them and going to use on my outdoor garage lights. Fyi I have one eye and these are the best. Led's are way too bright for me. Wish I knew about these a long time ago. Thanks Sal

    Beautiful Light That FEELS GOOD

    I purchased 3 Chromalux bulbs to improve my lighting set up while working at my desk - two frosted R30 bulbs and one R30 red light bulb. I am thoroughly enjoying having bright, healthy light (and feeling the gentle heat from the bulbs) while I work. I also use the red light therapeutically for sessions on my body. Love these lights and will be purchasing more!

    Room Transformation with the Chromalux R30

    What a beautiful transformation of the family room with the soothing soft light these bulbs create. It changed instantly from harsh and bright to a very relaxing, comfortable glow. And, with the dimmer capabilities, I can create a special mood. I have ordered more for other living spaces; what a refreshing change. I am so happy to have found healthy lighting.

    I should’ve done it years ago

    I am incredibly satisfied with the chroma Lux lights. We have just installed throughout the house. I’ve noticed an immediate increase in well-being and positive energy. I know that sounds far-fetched, but it’s true. We didn’t realize that our home had LED lights throughout it because they were in sconce bulbs. But once we realize that, we change the lighting out immediately, and these new lightbulbs are fantastic and have significantly improved the energy in our home. Thank you so much for making such a terrific product.

    My trial of replacing LED with healthlighting

    It is warmer and makes wood look rich and more natural color for all items in a room compared to sunlight as the gold standard. My wife with retinal problems likes the character of the light in the trial rooms so much better and feels less strain. I have ordered more bulbs to get other parts of the house converted. I am sure I will pay more in electricity and replace bulbs more often, but it is worth it for us.

    I knew it was going to be good - I never imagined how much of a difference it really makes. I can even read better w/o my readers. The colors truly pop - especially fresh flowers!
