Lumiram Aurora™ Bright Light Therapy System
The closest simulation to natural sunlight!
Unlike many light therapy boxes that use LED technology, the Aurora™ is our professional-grade light therapy box that uses Lumiram's Lumichrome® 98 CRI full spectrum fluorescent technology to best simulate the sun’s rays without any harmful U.V. or flicker.
Providing 10,000 Lux of bright, color-balanced, sun-like rays at a distance of 2 feet, you can use Aurora™ anywhere to begin improving your mood, increase your energy, and reset your sleeping patterns!
This is a high-quality, hand-assembled light therapy unit, so it's really the best option if SAD or a lack of light affects you each year. The Aurora will act as a permanent fixture every winter for the rest of your life. All you'll need to do is change out the bulbs as needed.
To use: Light therapy is best used in the morning. While eating breakfast, getting ready, or maybe sitting at your desk, place the light pad about 24 inches away from you, and to your side. The goal is for light to reach your eyes, without looking directly at the light source - it’s quite bright! Let it reach your open eyes peripherally.
Try for 10 minutes at first to see how you respond; you should begin to feel a sense of alertness. If you start feeling jittery, that’s an indication to place the pad a little further away and use it for less time. You’ll learn what your body needs with time, and this may also change over time!

About Chromalux® Bulbs:
Are Chromalux® bulbs dimmable?
Yes, all incandescent and halogen bulbs are dimmable. If a particular bulb is not, it will be noted under the product description.
Will Chromalux® work in ordinary light fixtures?
Yes. Chromalux® is available in most standard bulb shapes and sizes. Just check the max wattage your fixture can accept and choose your bulb accordingly!
Does Chromalux® contain UV?
Not at all. None of our products contain UV except for specified avian, reptile, or similar fluorescent lights.
Is Chromalux® a colored bulb?
Chromalux is a pure, naturally balanced light source emitting a clean, white light. Chromalux® bulbs are made of a special glass containing neodymium, an earth element that absorbs yellow and dulling components of the light spectrum. As an element, neodymium appears either lavender or blue in color. So don't worry, Chromalux® bulbs don't emit colored light; quite the contrary!
What does Chromalux® full spectrum light look like?
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.
All other FAQ
What is the difference between clear and frosted light bulbs?
Generally speaking, the clear glass bulbs have higher lumen output, thereby perceived as brighter. You can try using clear bulbs in fixtures with lampshades and frosted bulbs in unshaded or uncovered fixtures where the bulb is in your line of sight. For decorative purposes, keep in mind clear bulbs emit the most shadows. A good rule of thumb: think frosted glass for general lighting and clear glass for more striking, ambient lighting. Glass type, whether clear or frosted, does not affect the color temperature or appearance of the light.
I'm concerned about EMF. Which bulb is safest for my home?
Incandescence is the purest form of artificial light. If EMF is a concern for you, we highly recommend Chromalux® incandescent light bulbs, or Chromalux® Enhanced™ light bulbs (for slightly whiter light).
What are the benefits of full spectrum lighting?
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.
Are full spectrum bulbs similar to light therapy boxes? Will they benefit someone suffering from SAD?
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.
Are full spectrum bulbs the same as daylight bulbs?
No, this is a common misconception. Full spectrum light bulbs have enhanced color rendering properties and a balanced visible light spectrum, similar to sunlight. Daylight bulbs do not necessarily mean full spectrum, but instead refer to light bulbs with a color temperature between 5000 and 6500K, the color temperature range of daylight at noon.
What is the best or safest light bulb for eyes?
Chromalux® full spectrum incandescent light! Chromalux® uses neodymium glass to filter dull and harsh light, while creating incredible contrast between colors and textures. Not only will you see better, your eyes will feel less fatigued! For these reasons, Chromalux® has been a top recommendation for low vision population since the 1980s, and has been proven to increase visual acuity.
