Why the Name “Productivity Lamp”?
Scientifically Tuned to the Human Eye™
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.
Verilux Natural Spectrum light is just the right kind of illumination, easily absorbed by the
eye, efficiently cueing the body to improve mood, energy and function while reducing light
sensitivity, eyestrain and fatigue.
Verilux Natural Spectrum light illuminates in the specific scotopic range, with the right mix
of color and intensity to better stimulate your eyes’ photoreceptors, known as “cones”
and “rods.” Like daylight, this spectrally enhanced light allows optimum visual stimulation
without oversaturation or glare.
Measuring Verilux light with an advanced scotopic light meter quickly shows why Natural
Spectrum Illumination is superior. With a high scotopic content and fewer unwanted light
rays, all of the eye’s photoreceptors are properly stimulated. This relaxes the eye muscles
and protects against potentially harmful over stimulating light that irritates the eye and slows
visual processing. It’s just the right light in just the right amount to maximize your enjoyment
and productivity.
