Verilux® has developed Natural Spectrum® which artificially creates the best of natural daylight without any harmful or unnecessary wavelengths. The effect, claims the company, is that the consumer will see greater contrast and truer colors with less effort and irritation. They boast of their “efficient lighting.”

Verilux® explains the science on the website. The human eye, they post, is equipped to process the full spectrum of nature’s visible light. Key components making this possible include two types of photoreceptors called rods and cones. Rods are most sensitive to blue-green light, but transmit essential black and white information to the brain.

Verilux® Natural Spectrum® lighting is based on the theory that the eyes’ photoreceptors work best together when exposed to the full and balanced spectrum of visible light. With balanced stimuli, they claim the brain will work more efficiently in interpreting the wide range of information needed to create an accurate mental representation of the world around you.

According to the retailer, these products can improve mood, help one to regain and maintain balance of circadian rhythms, or improve your physical appearance without costly medications. We have seen many similar products on the market that make a stronger claim.

• Expensive, but a interesting gadget

• May not work so quickly and reliably for everyone
• At time of review, we really had expected to see some customer testimonials posted

It appears that the Natural Spectrum® lighting products developed by Verilux® may create an excellent facsimile of sunlight and change how we perceive objects in a room. In wintertime, many individuals suffer from Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), due in part to the lack of sunlight. However, how artificial light may allow one to find better sleep is not quite understood.

A person who experiences frequent insomnia needs a more focused solution. As we know, sleeping for a consistent amount of time each night in order to function optimally each day is necessary. Natural supplements are reported to be as effective as prescription products, but milder, with fewer, and less serious side effects. Many individuals are now looking for an alternative, a natural supplement for their insomnia. The consumer must remember to be discerning, as not all of these products are made with the most active of ingredients. It is smart to find a product made with one patented key ingredient, a supplement that promises and proves that it will facilitate sleep gently, and will not cause next day effects.
