Why the Name “Productivity Lamp”?
When it comes to maximizing work, study or task time, the
SmartLight™ is the perfect partner. This lamp is designed with Verilux’s
patented Natural Spectrum Daylight, a type of full spectrum lighting that
replicates key wavelengths of natural daylight, to help you read faster
with greater comprehension, work longer without eyestrain, and improve
productivity and focus.
Research using full spectrum lighting in a school setting resulted in
significantly greater student achievement when compared to other
light sources. And naturally lit study environments have also proven
to positively impact students’ abilities to understand study materials,
resulting in increased math and reading test scores.
The SmartLight combines more than 50 years of research to
scientifically tune light to the needs of the human eye. At home, college
or office, the SmartLight is the perfect productivity partner.
Scientifically Tuned to the Human Eye™
Verilux Natural Spectrum light illuminates in the broader scotopic range to better stimulate
the cones and rods (photoreceptors) of the eye. This enhanced stimulation improves visual
performance by reducing the size of the pupil to better focus light, relaxing the eye while
increasing visual acuity and processing.
