The National Empowerment Center installed full-spectrum flourescent light bulbs in all of our offices in June 1992. They have made a tremendous difference to our staff and visitors, and have prevented the headaches, dizziness, spaceyness, and irritation which old-style flourescent tubes often produce in sensitive people. Some benefits for people: * cheery white light * easy to see by * shows details and colors accurately * replaces ordinary flourescent tubes in ordinary fixtures * lasts for up to 24,000 hours Contact Information for a source of full-spectrum bulbs: The Vita-Lite Company: Howard Jordon Regional Sales Director K-3 Franklin Square Randolph, MA 02368 (800) 937-0900 x 7041 (in New England) Resources about Full-Spectrum Lighting: London, Wayne P., M.D..
