BENELUX 55 FULL SPECTRUM LIGHTING & YOUR HEALTH...

Indoor lighting conditions can affect our health and well being. Research shows that a lack of natural light can affect how we feel and may be responsible for some headaches, eye strain, and even depression. Outdoor natural light allows us to see our world in true color. Pure daylight has a Colour Rendering Index (CRI) of 100%. Benelux 55 Full Spectrum Fluorescent Lighting provides an indoor environment with CRI of 92%. Benelux 55 lighting brings the visual and beneficial spectrum of natural outdoor light...indoors.

Seasonal Affective Disorder

Associate Professor Philip Boyce, Department of Psychiatry, The Nepean Hospital, University of Sydney, Australia, stated, "I have used light therapy in treating people suffering from S.A.D. Generally, when people respond to light therapy, they do so in three to five days and their energy level improves considerably. The patients I have treated have responded to light therapy without the use of any other anti-depressant medication.

We use full-spectrum white light. Standard fluorescent lighting is not adequate. To ensure the light treatment is effective people must ensure that they receive 2,500 lux of light at their eyes."

The Journal of the American Medical Association

Medical news & Perspectives, Nov. 11, 1998 reported on the work of Ana Wirz-Justice, PhD, Professor of Psychiatry, University of Switzerland. : "Light is as effective as antidepressant medications, perhaps more so." "Light Therapy as an outpatient treatment lacks major adverse affects (e.g., drug dependency) and is cost effective."

Daniel Kripke, MD, Director Circadian Pacemaker Laboratory, University of California San Diego, wrote "Light may produce antidepressant benefits within one week, in contrast to psychopharmacological treatments which take several weeks."

Schools use Benelux 55 Full Spectrum Lighting

Harry Balfour School Principal R.J Lee, Grand Prairie, AB writes, "We had Benelux 55 installed throughout the school in February, 1993."

"We believe that all areas and all students benefit from full spectrum lighting. We feel the benefits have been especially noticeable in rooms without windows (we have 4), special education rooms and rooms with especially high ceilings (band, choral, drama and gyms)."

"Staff and students have responded enthusiastically to the new system, they found the before/after demonstrations during installation to be particularly enlightening (no pun intended)."

"While I was not directly involved in the financial aspects my understanding was that over five years the Benelux 55 system would be no more expensive than standard cool white."

BENELUX 55 Lighting in the COMMERCIAL Environment

The connection between improved lighting and employee health and productivity is well documented. Quality and adequate lighting, especially lighting that produces a spectrum close to that of natural outdoor lighting, has become an investment rather than an expense. Better employee health reflects directly in increased productivity.
