Full Spectrum Lighting
Great for seasonal affective disorder

Full spectrum bulbs are made of a special hand-blown glass that is not colored or coated, but instead contain a rare earth element, neodymium. This element absorbs yellow and other dulling components of the spectrum and produces a purified light that is whiter and brighter than light obtained from standard bulbs. The light enhances black and white on written pages and makes colors appear more accurately. Houseplants and pets will also benefit from the Plant Lamp; it provides plants with the specific wavelength of light required and is recommended as a sun simulating light source for captive indoor pets.

Standard bulbs are clear and come in 60, 100, and 150 watts or in a frosted 3 way 50/100/150 watt bulb.

60-watt reflector bulbs for spots (R20-type) and 75-watt and 150-watt reflector bulbs (R30 and R40) for recessed and track lighting are frosted. The MR16 full spectrum lightbulb is clear.

All bulbs burn an average of 4,000 hours -- four times longer than ordinary bulbs (MR16 has an average life of 5,000 hours). Made by Chromalux.

Also available: full spectrum tubes for fluorescent lamps.
