What is full-spectrum light? Full-spectrum light is basically light that covers the entire electromagnetic spectrum from infrared to near-ultraviolet. This light contains all wavelengths that are useful for plant and animal life. Sunlight is thought to be full-spectrum. However, how much of each different wavelength reaches earth depends on the daily atmospheric conditions.

Dr John Nash Ott coined the term “full-spectrum”. He used this term to describe electric light sources that can simulate visible and ultraviolet wavelengths that are inherent in natural light.

These days there are various different manufacturers who sell arc floor lamp and lights that they claim are full-spectrum. They claim that certain full-spectrum lamps closely simulate daylight, and so they are able to create benefits like improvements in health and productivity.

One of the major advantages of full-spectrum lighting is that it mimics daylight closely, and so it’s easily used to differentiate colors. Most paint stores use full-spectrum lighting, so that customers can easily understand how the different colors will look during the day. In addition, color scientists use full-spectrum lighting at night. Full-spectrum lighting is also used by people who do highly detailed work such as art or design.

Many companies interpret the term “full-spectrum” differently, i.e. they do not just stick to the classic definition of what full-spectrum is. These days, certain companies designate lights to be “full-spectrum” if they reduce radiation in a small part of the spectrum and improve visibility. Other companies claim that a certain component of ultraviolet wavelengths is necessary.

Although lights and lamps which are called full spectrum are marked up at premium prices, they usually produce fewer lumens per watt when compared to other light sources. So the customer must decide whether this loss in wattage is worth the other benefits. Most decide that it is, because of the additional benefits in health and productivity.

However, when choosing a full-spectrum floor lamp, it’s essential to ensure that you are purchasing from a reputed company. This is because certain unscrupulous manufacturers might take advantage of the ambiguity in the term “full spectrum”.
