Field studies confirm the beneficial effects of full spectrum lighting in the classroom, which include a lessening in hyperactivity, a reduction in sickness and absenteeism, improved academic performance and, as monitored separately by The Alberta Education Department and The Sarasota County Dental Society in Florida, even a reduction in dental caries! There is much evidence to suggest that full spectrum lighting has a calming effect on hyperactive children in a classroom setting. This was first noted by Dr. John Ott in a study he carried out in the 1970's at Sarasota's Gocio Elementary School from which he concluded that full spectrum lighting improved the behavior of hyperactive children. Since that time there have been many separate and diverse examples reported to support his original theory. The International Journal of Biosocial Research, reports: "In Dr. Ott's experiment full spectrum, radiation-shielded fluorescent fixtures were installed in two windowless classrooms, and in two other identical windowless classrooms standard cool white fluorescent fixtures were used as controls. The results showed that several extremely hyperactive children with confirmed learning disabilities calmed down completely and rapidly overcame their learning and reading problems while in the full spectrum lighted environment. The overall academic achievement level showed significant improvement, and a simultaneous study by the Sarasota County Dental Society showed that the children in the two rooms with the radiation-shielded, full spectrum lighting developed only one-third of the number of cavities in their teeth compared to the children under the standard cool white fluorescent lighting. In Psychology Today (1988) Psychiatrist, Wayne P. London, reported that children tend to stay healthier if they are taught under full spectrum fluorescent lighting rather than cool white standard fluorescents. He expressed surprise that there was such a dramatic drop in the number of absences. He was reporting the results of an experiment conducted in a Vermont school during the winter months. He wrote: "The pupils were all between five and nine years old. Three classrooms were converted to full spectrum light during the December break. In the term before the new lights were installed, there was no difference in sickness rates between the three converted classrooms and three similar rooms. Yet after the new lights were installed, the children in classrooms with full spectrum lighting took fewer days off from school than the other children did. In the classrooms with full spectrum lighting, the new lights appeared to reverse the normal pattern, in which children tend to become ill more often in the winter and early months of spring." The Wall Street Journal (December 31 1992) reports more supporting evidence: "Full spectrum light gives off more ultra-violet at certain wavelengths than standard cool white fluorescent light. The light is closer to natural daylight than ordinary indoor light and, therefore, some dentists prefer it, as do cosmeticians and graphic artists because it improves their ability to distinguish colors. It is considered more energy-efficient, even though the bulbs can cost twice as much as standard lighting. "Long Island lighting engineer, Dan Karpen, has been pushing the State of New York to pass legislation requiring full spectrum lighting in schools. Mr. Karpen and other proponents claim the lighting may improve the health and performance of students. They most often cite a five-year Canadian study that found better attendance and gains in achievement among students in classrooms with full-spectrum lighting compared with two other light sources. When trace amounts of ultra-violet were added, gains were recorded in weight and height. 'Even dental cavities were reduced, with savings in dental costs averaging $100.00 a child per year,' says Warren Hathaway of The Alberta Education Department which conducted the study. George C. Brainard, Associate Professor of Neurology and Pharmacology at Jefferson University Medical School in Philadelphia, who is noted for his research on light, notes that while the Canadian field study appears to be the best thus far, extensive testing under more rigorously controlled conditions is needed to rule out other possible explanations for the improvements. Professor Brainard says, 'When I look at a handful of applied studies in schools - some conducted with greater rigor than others - the remarkable thing is that each of those studies suggests the same finding ..... that the quality of light has an impact on either the health or the performance of students.' Dr. Brainard recently completed a three-year study that shows that near-ultraviolet light enters the retina and causes both visual stimulation and electrical activity in the brain in children and young adults. Such stimulation, strongest at birth, appears to be lost in adulthood. Patricia DeOria, Director of Riverside School in Richmond, Virginia, admitted to feeling skeptical about the initial request she received for installing full spectrum lighting in classrooms. Just one week after their installation, her skepticism changed to admiration. She wrote,'It was noticeable that the atmosphere at Riverside School was much calmer within a matter of days.' |
Full Spectrum Lighting Simulates Natural Daylight, What More Could You Want? |
| Why full spectrum light? It's Only Natural! Natural Light Helps Students Learn! The only patented, general-purpose flurorescent lamp that simulates the full-color and balanced ultraviolet spectrum of natural outdoor light. Full spectrum light reveals details and colors accurately...improves "seeability"...provides clarity at the work station...reduces eye strain...blends with window light...helps plants flourish. Its high color rendering index (CR) makes full spectrum light is the ideal fluorescent for all tasks requiring accurate color and detail perception (Natural daylight: CRI=100,Full Spectrum light has a color rendering index CRI=91 or greater). ******************  ********************Full spectrum light can reduce glare and is particularly effective over VDT screens and other visually demanding tasks. Full spectrum light is available in many different wattages and sizes...fits existing fixtures. Duro-Test Vita-Lite Full Spectrum Lighting durotest vitalite |
