Does being inside leave you feeling tired?
Most artificial light sources give off a radiance which is
biased to a particular color range in the spectrum. This means it is not giving off balanced
vibrations and being in a room that is constantly lit by such a light can cause
energy imbalances in our system. This can result in problems such as headaches,
eye-strain, loss of energy, nausea
Incandescent bulbs which are ordinary household bulbs give
off more red light than normal daylight. This is why these lamps appear yellow.
Fluorescent bulbs give off ultraviolet and blue light.
These lights send out pulsing vibrations. Old lights may start to hum and
flicker. They interfere with our own vibrations setting up a resonance within
us and can make us hyperactive and irritable.
Fluorescent strip lights can also adversely affect your eye
sight, and people who work under these lights can suffer from sore eyes. The
blue coloring can make you feel cold, and all the colors in the room will have
a blue tint. The newer generations of compact fluorescents are more efficient
and longer lasting.
Tungsten-halogen lamps give a bright white light close to
daylight in quality. These are powerful lights and good for general illumination.
These blubs have an extremely long life and are more energy efficient.
Full spectrum lamps more closely resemble balance of
spectral light found in daylight. Seasonal affective disorder (SAD) has now
been identified as one of the main causes of many sleep and emotional problems.
Depressive symptoms can be significantly improved within the first two to four
days when a person is exposed to full spectrum lighting.
Natural light from windows and skylights in the home and or
work place reduces eye strain and boosts productivity and mood.
