OttLite Brings Natural Daylight Indoors

For many people, the winter season is a months-long battle with fatigue, irritability and depression. It’s called Seasonal Affective Disorder, or SAD, appropriately. The cause of SAD is lack of sunlight. Even if you don’t suffer from SAD, you will benefit from natural lighting. Natural daylight brings about positive moods, helping people to both see and feel better, and it is also advantageous for enhancing learning. If only you could find a bright spot of sunshine on a gloomy day. Well, you can if you have an OttLite!

Photobiology Pioneer Dr. Ott

Have you ever seen those Disney movies with all the beautiful flowers opening and dancing – growing from seed to full bloom before your eyes? Then you’ve seen the work of Dr. John Nash Ott. A photobiologist and pioneer in light research, Dr. Ott developed many modern photographic practices, including time-lapse photography and full-spectrum lighting. He was asked by the Walt Disney Company to film the entire growth of a pumpkin for Disney animators to draw the transformation of Cinderella’s pumpkin into a carriage. Filming had to take place indoors to protect the extensive camera equipment, but at first the plant wouldn’t grow. After several experiments, Dr. Ott was able to provide the proper range of light wavelengths and the pumpkin grew. Not only did he help Cinderella arrive at the ball, but this led him to explore the benefits of natural full-spectrum light on all living things.

The Magic of OttLite Technology

From Dr. Ott’s incredible research, the OttLite was born. Dr. Ott founded OttLite® Technologies in 1989 to bring the power of natural sunlight indoors through his one-of-a-kind natural daylight bulb. Dr. Ott discovered through 40 years of scientific research the remarkable effects of high definition lighting. His research concluded that lamps with the entire visible spectrum of light wavelengths are best for vision and well being.

Many people around the world swear by OttLites for reading, studying, drawing, crafting, sewing, knitting and more. The OttLite reduces eyestrain up to 51%, thanks to its exclusive lighting technology that replicates the sun’s spectral output. OttLite’s natural high definition illumination really does help you to see everything more clearly, whether it’s a cloudy day or you’re working late at night.

OttLite Makes Reading and Studying Easier

Proper lighting is a major factor when it comes to reading, writing, studying, or anything else that requires attention to detail. Light can be strenuous on the eyes if an insufficient bulb is selected. Natural lighting is always the best choice because it shows colors at their true and best form.

Natural light is perhaps the single most important element in the learning environment, too. Research shows that in daylighted classrooms, math scores improve by 20%, verbal scores by 22%, and reading scores by 26% compared to those with less daylight.

Natural illumination helps reduce eyestrain and increase focus to create a comfortable environment for studying, reading, computer work, and close up/detail work. The OttLite brings the power of natural daylight indoors without the heat and glare for balanced, smooth, healthier lighting. This great lamp:

Allows one to read and see with amazing clarity and comfort.
Helps reduce eyestrain caused by glare and distortion.
Improves image and detail resolution with a balance of wavelengths that enhance vision and peak at the optimal level for comfort of the human eye.
Is ideal for studying, reading and everyday tasks.
Is ideal for indoor photography (great for eBay sellers!).
Has a space saving design that fits anywhere in the home or office.
Includes energy efficient OttLite bulb rated to last up to 10,000 hours. (That’s like 35 years when used for 3 hours a day.)

Give OttLite a try and you’ll realize how inadequate your home’s indoor lighting really is. The light it gives off is ten times better than ordinary lamps. If you can’t have your desk under a window, working under an OttLite is the next best thing. OttLites are great for basements, long winter nights, cloudy days, shady corners, or anywhere you don’t receive good natural light. OttLites come in many different modern designs to use as desk lamps, task lamps, table lamps, floor lamps, and clip-on lamps. Check them out!
