Sunlight Lamps: Natural Sunlight Instead of Harsh Artificial Light |

People are going crazy for sunlight lamps and some are hailing this new lamp as the greatest thing in lighting since the invention of the light bulb. Sunlight lamps come as both floor lamps and desk lamps and illuminate the area with what appears to be natural sunlight. Unlike regular lamps that simply light an area, a sunlight lamp illuminates the room with bright, cheerful light. Using one of these lamps is like having sunlight around you all of the time. Many offices are offering their employees the opportunity to use these lamps as they are finding people are more productive when using sunlight lamps than when using ordinary flourescent lamps. Sunlight lamps should not be confused with SAD lamps. SAD lamps are a boxed lighting apparatus that are designed to give light therapy to those who have limited exposure to light. The sunlight lamps, however, do provide a therapeutic form of lighting in that while sitting under these lamps, you feel as though you are basking in the glow of natural sunlight. These lamps offer better contrast when reading, allows the person to see colors more vividly, reduces eye strain and diminishes the glare from computer screens. In addition to all of that, Sunlight lamps, made by Bell Howell, actually end up saving you money on your electric bill! The Sunlight Lamp uses a different form of technology than an ordinary light bulb lamp. The 27 watt special bulb in the Sunlight Lamp gives the same power as a 150 watt bulb, but uses much less energy. The bulb actually lasts much longer than an ordinary light bulb as well. Sunlight lamp bulbs generally last up to 6,000 hours of continuous use. Many people who work in offices or at home can benefit from the Sunlight Lamp, particularly if they work on the computer. Florescent bulbs used in the office place strain your eyes and produce computer glare. Even regular light bulbs use vast amounts of energy to simply give you enough light to be able to read the computer screen, and often cause a glare. This is just one reason to switch to Sunlight lamps. Another good reason to make the switch to Sunlight lamps is the diminished light we often find during the winter months. Many people end up feeling depressed or lethargic during the winter months. Medical researchers now have a name for this syndrome: Seasonal Affective Disorder. People who use Sunlight lamps can decrease their risk of getting the “winter blues” by the flick of a switch. In addition, people who have a limited intake of light end up having more health problems than those who get plenty of sunlight. The Sunlight lamp can not only help your vision, but your mental and physical health as well. Sunlight lamps are not very expensive, particularly when you consider the benefits of this innovative technology. Most people would pay a lot more to get the benefits of having better vision, less headaches and eye strain, and improvements in mood and concentration. It is for this reason that many Americans are switching to Sunlight lamps in the office, home and everywhere that they need sunlight. |
