Simulated full spectrum light is color-corrected
light that operates in the range of 400 to 800 nanometers. This light
will simulate the optical brilliance of outdoor light at noontime.
This light can be measured by two numbers, CRI (Color Rendering Index)
and Kelvin Temperature or (Degrees Kelvin). The secret to full spectrum
light and optically balanced light is how close you can get to the
optics of natural light. The Sun at noon has a natural color temp
of 100 CRI and between 5000 and 5500 degrees Kelvin at noon time.
Both CRI and Kelvin are important for the simulation sunlight.
When you simulate light that matches the optical brilliance of sunlight,
the pupils in the eyes will become smaller. This response generates
clearer vision and higher perception. The results are lower glare
and eye fatigue. When you can combine Lux intensity with high CRI
and balanced Kelvin tempurature, you will have full spectrum light
that not only matches the optical brilliance of the sun, but reduces
levels of melatonin and the stress hormone, cortisol.
This light is not "daylight" color. It is clear, brilliant, white
light and simulates the exact color of sunlight at noon. The one fact
that proves that this is true is asking ourselves; What is the one
thing in our life that is missing? We spend so much time indoors,
not only in the winter when the days are shorter, but when we work
all the time. Sunlight is what we are missing and light that simulates
those brilliant life giving wave lengths will be much more effective
in treating seasonal depression than any other source or color of
light.
What separates our full spectrum light from the rest are
color temperature ratings. It is also important to note that with
light therapy, intensity is also important. The facts are simple,
we offer the highest optical performance of any light therapy unit
on the market today, while still delivering the highest Lux output.
No light performs better than UltraLux in all three categories. Ultralux
II produces the highest lux output per square inch of any light made
and we do this while maintaining an average CRI of 90 and a Kelvin
tempurature of 5000 Kelvin. You will see many companies state that
they use full spectrum lights, but you will not see the numbers in
print or graphs below to prove they use
full spectrum lights
