These lights produce "natural" lighting that is designed to mimic the largest source of natural light available - the sun. Our bodies are biologically programmed to react positively to sunlight - our moods are improved by exposure to sunlight and our eyes perform best in natural lighting. Full spectrum light boxes are used as therapy for a wide range of seasonal depressions, ranging from the less severe "winter blues" to the more severe Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD). "Winter blues" are characterized by a lack of energy and mild depression associated with late Fall and Winter. Seasonal Affective Disorder is a clinical depression which is also characterized by lethargy and depression, but expands to include impaired social interaction and impaired cognitive abilities. These seasonal disorders do not result from the seasonal drop in temperature, but rather by the shortened daylight hours. Light therapy as a means of adding to your exposure to sunlight has a high success rate in alleviating the symptoms of both winter blues and SAD. In addition to depression therapy, these lights can also be used indoors in place of incandescent, fluorescent or halogen lights. Studies show that our eyes actually function better in natural light. Using full spectrum lights in your home and at your desk eliminates the yellow or green tint given off by other types of lights and can significantly reduce eye strain. You will find that colors come to life and visually demanding tasks are easier to perform.
