Sufficient light is important for the health of all living things – no matter the season. Full-spectrum LED bulbs can bring bright daylight directly into your indoor spaces. In this guide, we present what you need to consider when choosing the right light for you and your plants and what technical details you need to consider when using it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Why do we need full spectrum light?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There are jobs where people work a lot or mainly indoors without daylight. If you belong to this group of people, then you should think about the right light in your workspace. Bright light promotes concentration and reduces fatigue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But it is also worthwhile for everyone else to think about the light in their interiors. We tend to absorb less daylight, especially in the winter months, but this is important to increase our well-being.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fortunately, there are now LEDs with full spectrum light. This comes closest to natural light. Its particularly high and sunlight-like color rendering (CRI 95) ensures a significantly improved perception of colors and supports human eyesight. This is worthwhile for everyone who carries out filigree or creative activities at work or as a hobby.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The right light as a pick-me-up<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Since halogen lamps and incandescent lamps were banned from the market as power guzzlers, LEDs have gained in popularity. But here too there are many differences in design, sockets and light reproduction. It is important to know that the color temperature<\/a> – also known as the light color – can be a crucial characteristic of a lamp. Before you decide to buy a lamp, you should consider what you want to use it for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most offer a warm white light (below 3300 Kelvin), some also a very white light (3300 to 5300 Kelvin). If the light color is more than 5000 Kelvin, one can speak of so-called daylight lamps. But only the full-spectrum daylight lamps with the seven colors of the rainbow offer a light that is similar to sunlight. Incidentally, in the case of lamps with 5000 Kelvin, this corresponds to the light color of the sun on the summer solstice \u2013 i.e. the day with the most hours of sunshine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Advantages of full spectrum LEDs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

LEDs are not only energy-efficient and durable, they also develop their full brightness immediately. But when it comes to color quality, there are also differences between LEDs that you absolutely have to be aware of. Conventional LEDs emit a very strong blue component and a low green and yellow component. In addition, there are strong deficits in the light blue and red range compared to the light spectrum of the sun. The latest developments in LED technology have made it possible to compensate for these deficits and bring the light closer to natural sunlight with full-spectrum LEDs. It has been proven that the high color rendering has a positive effect on the organism:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
