Full spectrum light bulbs bring in the sunshine.
Come Play with Our Lights
by K ay n ewell
t he l ightbulb l aDy
Over 25 years ago I responded
to this question and my reply is
still true today.
Will you be my Valentine and
give me sunshine? I walk into my
house, turn on all the lights, and
still cannot make it bright enough
to chase away the winter blues.
How come?
My answer: The right light to
chase the winter blues is a light
that is very close to the light na-
ture created.
Early man lived by light, sun up
-- go to work. Sundown -- go to
sleep. Today, we are expected to
work before sunrise and after sun-
set we are home doing the family
thing. We go from one dark cave
to another. Our lights let us see
what we are doing but do not pro-
vide sunlight.
At Sunlan Lighting, 3091 N.
Mississippi Ave., I offer full spec-
trum bulbs to help bring sunshine
into the home. Lights that provide
90 percent of the Color Rendering
Index [CRI] of sunshine can help
with what’s called seasonal affec-
tive disorder (SAD), a type of de-
pression that’s related to changes
in the season. Sunlan stocks Hal-
ogen and Neodymium CRI bulbs,
and today we can offer some LED
bulbs, also with a CRI of 90.
