Give Yourself A Healthy Lighting Workspace ~ A Verilux Review & Giveaway
Research shows that natural spectrum lights help us see better, reduce eye strain and fatigue, as well as improve our ability to process information. People who use Verilux lighting report that they can read and work longer on projects of all kinds. More over children greatly benefit from using these lights while studying. Using Verilux lights and bulbs you can give yourself and your children a healthy lighting workspace.
Below is a graphic showing in detail the Verilux difference compared to conventional lighting in the eye. As you can see, Verilux lighting properly stimulates both the rods and cones, whereas conventional lighting stresses the cones. This means compromised visual acuity due to glare and eyestrain, and fatigue occurs sooner with conventional lighting.

Improve Academics With a Healthy Lighting Workspace
From Verilux:
If you or a loved one want to do better in school, one place to look for improvement is in the light from the reading lamp he’s using to study. It might not seem so, but quality lighting can improve productivity and make a huge difference in minimizing the glare and eyestrain that lead to fatigue and compromised performance.
All Verilux productivity lighting products feature Natural Spectrum® illumination that simulates the best qualities of natural daylight to help you see better. This is light the eye likes: It better stimulates more of its photoreceptors, so some of them aren’t working too hard while others have nothing to do – a scenario that causes glare and eyestrain and accelerates fatigue. Also, a relaxed eye has a smaller pupil that can better focus the light, so it’s in a much-improved environment, conducive to increased visual acuity and processing.
Studies show that students have higher rates of achievement with less stress when they’re in classrooms that have lighting with qualities similar to Natural Spectrum.

How We Are Using the Brookfield Natural Spectrum Desk & Table Lamp in Our Homeschool:
We have a designated homeschool room in our house. While we have a fairly large bay window to offer up some natural light, it is never enough. Due to this we have been using a desk lamp that attaches to the desk over our children’s computer desk. This is where they not only spend their time on the computers, but do most of their written schoolwork as well.
Upon receiving the Brookfield Natural Spectrum Desk & Table Lamp I stopped using the previous desk light. You can see below the dramatic difference between the two lights. The Verilux light offers a much more natural form of light for the kids to work by.
The kids have truly found a difference with using the Brookfield Natural Spectrum Desk & Table Lamp. They used to complain about not having enough light, and would squint or complain of tired eyes. With the Verilux light these complaints have all but disappeared!
Our plan now is to purchase some bulbs for our existing fixtures to create healthier lighting in other parts of our house (beginning with my nightstand where I use the light to read at night).

I would love to win one of these and perhaps it will help my eyes when I embroider.

Our house is situated where the sun light pours in to the front side of the house during the morning, and the back side of the house in the afternoon. The lighting that we have in this OLD house is terrible…with only one overhead light in the living room/dining room combo, so I have added lamps to help. However, it’s still difficult to find bulbs that will give the amount of light that I feel is right for all of us. I would love to win this giveaway!

I have always wanted a natural light lamp… why don’t I ever ask for one of these for my birthday or Christmas?
July 24, 2014 @ 11:37 am
I know my college age daughter would love one of these. I might keep it for home 🙂
July 24, 2014 @ 12:19 pm
We have a big window but the way it’s situated the light never really pours in! Would love to have new lighting solutions for our classroom, bookmarking this company for sure. Thank you!

Looks like these lights are easy on the eyes. Nice looking product.

We have an issue with very uneven light creating bright spots and lots of shadows. Would love to try that lamp out1

We just downsized to an apartment that has no light fixtures, except in the kitchen and bathrooms, so we are just starting to look into buying lamps and lightbulbs. Great timing for this review…I definitely prefer the more natural light look!

Would be great by my kids computer desk
July 29, 2014 @ 8:54 am
I used to have a lamp like this and loved it but sadly it broke while moving and we couldn’t afford a new one. I really miss it

We do homeschool in our spare room that has only one window that doesn’t bring in much light and I’ve been trying to find a lighting solution so this would be great! Thanks!
