Balanced Spectrum Floor Lamp

The Psychological And Health Benefits Of The Balanced Spectrum Floor Lamp

The Balanced Spectrum Floor Lamp Elegance model is a popular choice in modern lighting for many reasons besides fitting well with modern decor.  Though these lamps do have some minimalist chic, the real reason so many people are buying them is their unbelievable psychological and health benefits.  That may seem like a large claim for a light fixture, but this lamp is the closest thing you can find to real sunlight indoors.

Full spectrum lighting, or lighting which is intended to simulate natural daylight, has been proven in many scientific studies to improve cognitive functioning, elevate moods, help problem skin and reduce eye strain. 

If you have ever heard of seasonal affective disorder, you will understand why a lamp such as the Balanced Spectrum Ultra Swing Premier Lamp can help with your moods.  Lack of sunlight in winter months affects many people in negative ways, including depression or irritability and disturbed sleep cycles.  Most doctors recommend light therapy to cure the ills caused by seasonal lack of sunlight, and the Balanced Spectrum is precisely the kind of light that is used in these treatments.

Similarly, phototherapy (another name for light therapy) has been used successfully in clinical trials for the treatment of acne, psoriasis, rosacea and eczema.  While Balanced Spectrum lamps were not the lamps used in these trials, that is a pretty decent potential side affect from a lamp you will be purchasing primarily to help your eyes.

If you have ever tried on clothing in a store, purchased it and then worn it outside in broad daylight and found out that it was not the color you thought it was, it will be easy for you to understand why Balanced Spectrum lamps make reading, doing hobbies and even working on the computer so much easier.

Viewing things in natural sunlight eliminates glare, makes vision easier and presents color more accurately.  In fact, there is a color rendering index that measures how good light sources are based on how clearly you can see color without distortion when using it.  The scale runs from one (the worst) to one hundred (the best) and Balanced Spectrum lamps rate in the eighties on this scale.

If you are not ready to commit to investing in a Balanced Spectrum floor lamp, consider trying out a Balanced Spectrum desk lamp.  These cost approximately one third the price of their big brothers and offer similar benefits, especially if your primary concern is seeing better while reading or doing hobbies.
