The Full Spectrum Light

The Full Spectrum Light


However, when we created artificial light, firstly in the form of incandescent light bulbs and then fluorescent tubes, we created a very poor second to what is naturally available to us.  For neither produces light that is full spectrum so, although we can see what we’re doing, we are not getting the full nutritional value of ernie banks jersey as we would if we were outdoors.


If you work in any sort of office building you will probably be reliable on fluorescent tubes to provide your lighting.  If so, and you are carrying out any sort of creative work then the lighting will probably hamper your efforts because we are unable to see banks jersey correctly unless we are seeing them in full spectrum light.  You may have experienced buying an item of clothing or cosmetics that looked the right colour in store but was very different when you got it home.  And, if you’ve ever been in a store changing room you’ll probably have noticed that your skin is either very pale or sallow.  These effects are all to do with the choice of alfonso soriano jersey.


You may also find difficulties reading things printed on white paper because artificial light is not absorbed by white paper but bounces right back at you. Of course, these problems are just minor compared to soriano jersey

 problems of spending a lot of time under artificial light.  I’ve already mentioned SAD but there’s a lot of research being carried out into the effects of full spectrum light deprivation:


In 1980 Dr Fritz Hollwich studied the effects on the endocrine system. Whilst working under artificial lighting levels of ACTH and ron santo jersey were secreted. For people working under full spectrum lighting these were absent.

A ten year study at John Hopkins University Medical School in Baltimore showed a positive effect of full spectrum light on the reduction of breast, rectal and colon cancer.


In Russia, full spectrum lighting was used in a factory to address high incidences of colds and sore throats. After installation the bacterial contamination of the air was reduced by up to 70%. Furthermore, workers who did not receive full spectrum lighting were absent for twice as many days as those who did.Recent classroom tests have shown that students working in full spectrum light have a marked reduction in santo jersey, absenteeism and an increase in academic achievement.

Use daylight wherever possible.  If you’re in an office and you have a window turn the kosuke fukudome jersey  off.  Not only will it help your health but it will also save energy.
