Desk and Floor Lamp Replacement Bulb Price Comparison

Naturallighting.com specializes in ergonomic desk lamps that use full spectrum and full spectrum supreme light bulbs. Many companies claim to have full spectrum desk lamps, however, closer examination indicates most are using standard fluorescent bulbs. The technical definition of “Full Spectrum” is a bulb with a Color Rendering Index (CRI) of 90 or more, sunlight is 100. Light bulbs with a color temperature of 5500K (Kelvin Degrees) are close to noonday or Daylight, which is a neutral white. Bulbs with a color temperature of 5500K and CRI of 90 plus are best for color matching and visual acuity. Lower color temperatures have a warmer tone and higher color temperatures have a cool blue tone. A high color temperature along with a low CRI results in poor color rendition. Many companies claim “Full Spectrum” and do not include the specifications of bulbs -- Color Temperature (K), Color Rendering Index (CRI), and Lumen output. Naturallighting.com product and pricing information includes proper specifications of bulbs.

Advantages of Naturallighting.com desk lamps include true full spectrum, high CRI of 91 to 96, energy efficient, reduce glare, fatigue, and eye-strain. Halogen light bulbs are widely used for desk and floor lamps, however, Halogen bulbs consume a great deal of energy (up to 300 watts). Halogen bulbs also produce heat (operate at 400 degrees), and emit a high level of harmful ultraviolet rays. For every 2-3 watts saved on lighting, one watt will be saved on air conditioning.

Naturallighting.com is first to offer Full Spectrum Supreme bulbs with a CRI of 96. Replacement bulbs available for Verilux Happy Eyes, Ott-Lite, Full Spectrum Solutions.
