Welcome! Get ready to experience light and your surroundings in a new way. Chromalux is a unique light bulb intended for year-round, restriction-free usage. That's to say, Chromalux bulbs are beautiful and healthy upgrades for all your ordinary household light bulbs!

Chromalux is soothing, healthy, and undemanding for the eyes. It may at first appear less bright while your eyes readjust to their natural relaxed state when converting from conventional lighting. This adjustment is normal - just allow a few days to let the muscles of your eyes relax and get used to the purer, more natural alternative!

All Chromalux® bulbs are made of a special glass containing neodymium, an earth element that absorbs yellow and dulling components of the light spectrum and as an element appears to be lavender in color. Don't worry though, Chromalux® bulbs don't emit colored light. Quite the contrary: Chromalux is naturally balanced light, with a pure and soothing touch! 

Like a cloudless sky on a crisp and clear summer day! Chromalux® bulbs "de-haze" environments, making your interiors come to life with enhanced color, contrast and textures, all in a pleasant and soothing way. 

A chromalux full spectrum light bulb emits about the same amount of light as the common bulb. However, because chromalux casts a gentler, whiter light, and filters out yellow glare, it produces natural light that is easier on your eyes. It's a difference you can see and feel! 

You can find all the definitions of common technical lighting terms here.

Full spectrum light closely simulates natural outdoor lighting and has a color rendering index (CRI) over 91. It contains the full visible light spectrum.  Learn more about full spectrum lighting here.

Feeling and seeing better! Full spectrum light provides light containing the full visible light spectrum. Plants love full spectrum light, as do people and pets; basically all living creatures need sunlight to thrive, and full spectrum lighting strives to encapsulate that indoors!

Some benefits: improved mood, productivity, and enhanced visual clarity among others.

You may use Chromalux® full spectrum light bulbs anywhere  and everywhere for crisp natural lighting; not just in rooms where exposure to natural light is limited. Popular choices are: the kitchen, living room, bathroom and office. 

This is a great question. While full spectrum light bulbs definitely help those suffering from SAD, they are not considered a standalone treatment for seasonal depression. Light therapy boxes provide a much stronger intensity of light and can be used only for about 30 minutes a day, while Chromalux® full spectrum lighting can be used without restrictions (like a normal light bulb). We actually answered this question in more detail read the differences between full spectrum light and light therapy.

No. Chromalux® bulbs do not contain UV light, which is necessary to synthesize vitamin d through contact with our skin.
