What can you tell me about full spectrum lighting?
Misses Mia Wallace asked:
We suffer from seasonal depression and I am looking into buying full spectrum lighting. Light boxes and therapy lamps are very expensive so I am wondering if regular lamps with full spectrum bulbs would have the same affect.

Full spectrum light is a term used to describe light wavelengths that fall into the full range of electromagnetic radiation (EMR) frequencies. Known as the electromagnetic spectrum, this range includes wavelengths below long radio waves and above short gamma rays. Full spectrum light range includes infrared radiation with wavelengths longer than that of visible light, and extending to ultraviolet with EMR wavelengths shorter than visible light. To put this into perspective, sunlight includes infrared and ultraviolet ranges, with light that is visible to the human eye being in-between. This is why enthusiasts of full spectrum lighting hope to obtain a light source that mimics natural sunlight. [who] Jabelu Firoz
