Full Spectrum Bulbs

by Ingrid Chen

If you suffer from seasonal affective disorder (SAD), full spectrum bulbs may be the key to good health. SAD is recognized as a seasonal pattern of depression, particularly in the winter months, where sunlight is less dominant than in summer months. Sufferers of seasonal affective disorder (SAD) may find this form of light therapy particularly beneficial. The light therapy provided by full spectrum bulbs is an innovative and advanced solution, which has been recommended by physicians and naturopaths alike.

The Benefits of Full Spectrum Bulbs

These radical lights replicate the ultraviolet spectrum of outdoor light, and provide the natural light dosage you need to feel good and refreshed, just as one might feel in the sunlight. Many proponents of full spectrum light feel that these lights can actually enhance mood, decrease stress, and create a happy, healthy living and working environment. Studies show that with proper usage of full spectrum bulbs, light therapy is effective in up to 85 percent of SAD cases. The bulbs have even proven to be more successful than antidepressant drugs.

You don't have to be a sufferer of SAD to enjoy the effects of the light provided by full spectrum bulbs. Beyond light therapy, they are simply a great solution for a space that feels tiring or dull. Get out of that dreary space by installing full spectrum bulbs in place of the ones you presently use to light your home or office. The difference may be immediately noticeable.

Making a positive change for your home or work area can be as easy as replacing your light bulbs. Full spectrum bulbs now come in many forms: Incandescent, fluorescent and halogen. From desk lamps to floor lamps, or clamp-on lights to reading lights, it won't be a problem to find a bulb that will suit your needs.
