Excerpt from article: "In the classrooms with full-spectrum lighting, however, behavior and classroom performance, as well as overall academic achievement, improved markedly within one month after the new lights were installed. Furthermore, several learning-disabled children with extreme hyperactivity problems miraculously calmed down and seemed to overcome some of their learning and reading problems while in classrooms with full-spectrum lighting."

Excerpt from article: "As more employers implement full spectrum lighting in the workplace, more and more companies will experience the economic success that Control Data in Sunnyvale, California experienced when they made the switch. Following their $15,000 investment in full spectrum lighting for their data processing center, Control Data’s error reduction rate increased so dramatically after the first year that their profits increased by a significant $225,000. Other companies report improved employee morale, greater productivity, better quality control, error reduction rate, and reduced absenteeism"

Excerpt from article: "When you simulate light that matches the optical brilliance of sunlight the pupils in the eyes will become smaller. This response generates clearer vision and higher perception. The results are lower glare and eye fatigue. When you can combine lux intensity with high CRI and balanced Kelvin temp you will have quality light that not only matches the optical brilliance of the sun, but reduces levels of melatonin and the stress hormone, cortisol."

Excerpt from article: "There is convincing research that poor lighting environments can produce increased depression and even result in more severe cases called S.A.D. or "Seasonal Affective Disorder." This problem increases more and more as the winter months bring shorter and shorter days. "Sunlight Starvation" also affects millions more in the form of a milder version called the "Winter Blues"."

Excerpt from article: "THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT OF GERMANY has imposed a complete ban on the use of cool-white fluorescent tubes. This on the basis that their continued use was seen as harmful to the state of the nations health, particularly the workforce. Therefore today in Germany on a Federal level it is illegal to install the same cool-white fluorescent tubes..."

Excerpt from article: "Daytime vision is made effective by the use of narrow "rods" in the eyes. We see objects as light is reflected off of each object. The brighter the light the more we can see. The more we can see the greater the requirement for clarity and contrast. This is done by the superior quality of full spectrum lighting. Full spectrum lighting duplicates the visible wavelengths of sunlight at noon and uses both high clarity and balanced color phosphors.
