 still pretty yellow...Jun 03, 2006
By T. Bennett
Being turned on to the idea of artificial lights emulating the sun, I thought I'd try some bulbs. I got these, as they were cheaper, and they were just that. Perhaps they filter out some yellow, but my walls are still glowing yellow with these lights. If you really want a full spectrum light, you should look elsewhere. Look for products that have a CRI rating over 90 (100 is sunlight). I couldn't find a rating for this product, which probably means it really hasn't been rated for full spectrum... perhaps I'm wrong and just couldn't find it... just make sure you look it up.

 Feel Happier with Natural DaylightMar 30, 2006
By Rebecca Johnson
"The Rebecca Review"
A naturally balanced light could leave you feeling as if you have been spending more time outdoors. After replacing a few light bulbs in lamps surrounding my desk, suddenly I felt more in the mood to write and my creativity started to flow better in general. Could replacing a 100W light bulb truly have such an effect?
To explore this further I read this on the back of the light:
"Natural Balanced Light originated with Chromalux. This brings an aura of purity and freshness to colors, objects and surroundings. Chromalux bathes space with that pleasing, colorful and relaxing feeling that maximizes people's sense of well-being." ~Chromalux Box
I'm happy I didn't read that before I experienced the effects because now I realize they are in fact wildly correct. This light will:
Mimic natural light
Enhance reading
Promote Well-Being
Now that I think of it, when I created most of my recipes, I was in a kitchen with
special fluorescent light bulbs that mimicked natural sunlight.
If you want to feel happy all the time indoors, could it be as simple as replacing all the light bulbs?
I'm willing to give this a try and if you have SAD or problems with depression, this could be a relatively painless and inexpensive solution.
Some of the lights are more expensive than others, but five dollars for an improved mood seemed fairly tame. The Neodymium color on the lights also makes the lighting look less yellow and is a rare earth element used in space age technology.
These light bulbs are packed especially well in their boxes so they don't move around and break, which gives me the confidence to order quite a few more. With an average life of 5,000 hours, I imagine after your initial investment, you can save a lot of money over time.
After ordering, give these three days and then see how you feel.

LIghtbulbs can make a lot of differenceFeb 18, 2010
By Patrice Fagnant-macarthur
Both my son and I have a very hard time during the winter months with depression. Putting in these lightbulbs made a huge difference (not 100% mind you, but huge!). I was very skeptical and was sure it wouldn't help, but within two days we were both feeling much better. I strongly recommend them for anyone who suffers from seasonal affective disorder. It is a small price to pay for tremendous relief.

Love it! Every other light bulb seems dull now.Dec 22, 2010
By L. Smith
"homeschool mom"
My title says it all. This is by far the best incandescent light bulb I have ever used! GE's daylight bulbs are dull next to it. I'm hesitant about buying compact fluorescents because the wiring in our house is old, and my mother had a ceiling light fixture in her much-newer home start smoking due to one. Her electrician told her not to use them in any fixtures not rated for them. As a result, I'm sticking with these!
