What is a natural light lamp?
A natural light lamp is a lighting source that most closely replicates natural sunlight. The lighting provided is very soft yet still effective in terms of providing a good lighting source for reading and working. These lamps can be found in all kinds of shapes and sizes as well as a variety of price ranges. Studies show that natural lighting can help reduce depression, anxiety and stress levels. They are used to managed emotional disorders and help improve an individual’s mood. LED bulbs are commonly used in natural lighting. They can replicate the intensity and hue of natural sunlight. It is important to note however that no lighting can completely replace natural daylight/sunlight.
Natural light lamps are an excellent lighting source to use in the office. They offer very soft yet effective light so employees can easily read and work without eye strain. Many people find they enjoy working more when natural lighting is used because it provides a calming feeling that reduces stress, anxiety and moodiness. Employees who suffer from depression or emotional disorders may also find natural lighting lamps beneficial to their health.
Not only is natural lighting good to have in an office, but many people also like to have them at home while they are relaxing or reading a good book. I personally use an LED natural light while I work from home in order to boost my mood. I truly feel it lifts my mood, especially in the winter months.
If you’re looking to purchase a desk or floor lamp you might want to seriously consider natural light options (also referred to as Natural full spectrum daylight lighting). You may be thinking that these types of lamps are not very appealing to the eye, but, as they gain in popularity you would be surprised to see that there are more and more trendy options out there!
Why is natural light better than artificial light?
Natural type of lighting is better than artificial lighting because it does not contain IR (infrared) and UV (ultraviolet) radiation. IR and UV can have damaging effects on exposed soft tissues, such as skin and eyes. Think premature aging and cataracts to name a few. Artificial light can also negatively affect our sleep patterns and overall health. A bulb with a minimum of 90 CRI is believed to most closely reproduce natural sunlight. Another quantitative measure used to indicate a good natural lighting source is the Color Temperature. A bulb of 5500K is thought to be a good full spectrum bulb.
What is light therapy?
Light therapy is exposure to light than is brighter than normal indoor lighting but not as bright as direct sunlight. It is used often to help treat depression and lifts people’s moods in general. People often use light therapy to treat seasonal affective disorder (SAD). SAD is depression that is related to shorter days and reduced sunlight exposure which occur during the fall and winter months. People have reported improved moods after using light therapy which may be because it replaces the lost sunlight exposure and helps reset the body’s internal clock.

It’s no secret that natural light is better for your health than artificial lighting. Natural light keeps you energized and focused, reduces the risk of fatigue and mood disorders like depression, and can even help with seasonal affective disorder (SAD). This is because it helps produce serotonin in our brains to regulate our circadian rhythm – we feel happier when we have more exposure to sunlight! So, if you’re looking for a way to brighten up your home or office without adding heat-producing electric lights, try installing some natural daylight lamps. Whether they are standing lamps or table lamps, these bulbs offer full spectrum illumination, so they mimic outdoor sunbeams indoors.
