Run out of sun? Get some daylight compact fluorescent light bulbs!

Daylight, or "full spectrum" compact fluorescent light bulbs are surprisingly effective at filling the sun's proverbial shoes.

Run out of sun?  Get some daylight compact fluorescent light bulbs!

There isn't enough education about the importance of natural light straight from the sun.  The health impact of natural daylight is significant, but too few people know!  Lighting manufacturers have created daylight full spectrum light bulbs with color temperatures that emulate daylight and contain as close to a full spectrum of color as possible.

 
There are plenty of studies on the subject of sunlight/natural light and its effects on plants, humans, and animals.  Even without scientific evidence though, I'm sure everyone is familiar with the feeling of a cloudless sky and the sun radiating its warmth and light.  It's difficult to retain a bad mood in such weather, unless of course the humidity factor is ten thousand and you are swimming in a sea of your own perspiration.
 
Compact fluorescent daylight full spectrum light bulbs are able to emulate sunlight at any time of the day.  Various color temperatures combined with full spectrum lighting technology combine to create the natural light we need.  This is especially important during the winter months, or for those of us who are inside the vast majority of the day.  Full spectrum daylight bulbs have a positive effect on not only our health, but every living thing there is, except perhaps nautical creatures at the bottom of the ocean.
 
You've probably heard of S.A.D., the ironically perfect acronym for Seasonal Affective Disorder.  S.A.D. is a type of major depression that occurs at specific times of the year when the sun is least often in the sky.  There are various symptoms, similar to any other depression.  This disorder can be treated by daylight compact fluorescent light bulbs!  With full spectrum light bulbs of a daylight color temperature, the symptoms of S.A.D. can be significantly reduced.
 
There are a lot of applications for daylight full spectrum compact fluorescent light bulbs.  There's really no limit to who and what natural light can benefit!
