Simulating Natural Light
A Guide For Simulating Natural Light In Interior Environments To Maximize The Quality Of Working Life.
Full Spectrum Fluorescent Tube Has The Proven Capability To:
· Blend with natural light from windows and skylights
· Reveal detail and color accurately. Improve seeabllity
· Render warm, and cool environments equally well
· Help improve the performance and productivity of people
(1) True Natural Spectrum, Color Temperature, Color Rendering
Natural light has the unique spectrum which includes a balance of ultraviolet and visible radiation. The whitest natural light is characterized by a color temperature of about 5000K + and a perfect color rendering index of 100. In lighting, natural daylight is the reference standard for all high color temperature and high color rendering index (CRI) lamps. It also is the design standard for the spectrum of full spectrum light.
The simulation of natural light means that for the first time, environmental lighting with Full spectrum light can blend perfectly with natural light from windows and skylights -- an important consideration with today's increased use of natural light for energy conservation. This visual system does not have to adapt to a new spectrum, color temperature or color rendering when one goes from outdoors or a naturally lighted environment to an indoor environment lighted with full spectrum light.
Interior colors are true, and details are rendered accurately with full spectrum light as with natural light. Therefore, it is an excellent source for color and shade matching.
(2) Renders Both Cool and Warm Environments
With natural light, cool or warm environments can be created by choosing the appropriate surface coverings and furnishings because the natural light spectrum is balanced and complete -- with all colors properly represented.
In the past, architects and designers had to associate cool or warm furnishings with cool or warm fluorescent lamps. Because of the spectral deficiencies of these lamps, one had to compensate for the poor color rendering. But spectrally-balanced full spectrum light allows design color freedom.
In addition, the ultraviolet spectrum from natural light or full spectrum light causes optical brighteners (used in papers and fabrics) to increase black and white contrast and color discrimination. Black and white tasks are more distinct and sharp. Colors appear more vivid.
Full spectrum light does away with the need to take clothing or articles to the window to see their true color. Full spectrum light maximizes what the architect and designer have created. After all, color is the property of the reflected light from a surface, and the source of the reflected light is the light source.
Environmental Improvement With Positive Impact
(1) Full spectrum light Energizes the Interior Environment
Natural light energizes the environment for people. They generally feel better, are more alert, see better and perform better. The mechanisms for these positive responses to natural light are not completely known. Many of our customers tell us that Vita-Lite produces similar responses in the ambience and acceptance of the lighted environment.
Shown To Enhance The Work Environment
In a survey conducted to determine the impact of full spectrum light in the workplace, three user-dimensions were examined: (a) evaluation of work environment; (b) evaluation of work task; (c) evaluation of how subjects felt.

The results show that subjects felt more relaxed and less fatigued with full spectrum light than cool white, with higher eye comfort. Subjects perceived full spectrum light as significantly more pleasant, natural, bright, and stimulating. Additionally, they rated their seeing tasks as more distinct under full spectrum light, and their work tasks as easier and more satisfying.
Full spectrum light Combines People Conservation With Energy Conservation
Double Savings
Since full spectrum light provides both improved quality lighting plus the additional benefits of how people feel in an improved environment, the result is both people and energy conservation.
While electrical energy conservation for lighting is one of today's major concerns in building renovation and construction, people conservation is even more important and cost effective. For example, compare the average people cost per square foot of office space at $1.50 to that of $1.25 for lighting cost. With almost 80% of the lighting cost being energy costs, increasing the productivity of people 1% is equivalent to an increase of 135% for lighting energy conservation.
And since full spectrum light is available in all typical fluorescent wattages and lengths, you can, for the first time, specify for the best of both worlds: people and energy conservation.
Seeability Over Footcandles
The concept that the footcandle or lumen does not adequately define light for visual acuity is well documented. Light from high-color rendering lamps such as Vita-Lite provides enhanced seeability and visual effectiveness even at lower footcandle levels than is obtained with standard high-lumen-output lamps such as cool white. Vita-Lite lamps can be specified and substituted in installations using conventional lamps on a one-for-one basis and still improve seeability.
In calculating the number of lamps required for task and area lighting (using the recommended illumination levels in the Illuminating Engineering Society Handbook Applications Volume, 1981) simply use lamp data for cool white lamps and then substitute them with full spectrum light lamps in the lighting system. This technique provides a lighting system with the same installed wattage and with enhanced seeability.
Full spectrum light or equal light sources shall simulate the full visible and balanced ultraviolet spectrum of natural light for use in general indoor illumination as follows:
Correlated Color Temperature: 5500K
Color Rendering Index: 90 or greater
Near Ultraviolet Radiation:
(UVA, 320-380nm) 254 +/- 51uw/lumen
Middle Ultraviolet Radiation: 15 +/- 4 uw/lumen
Near UV/Middle UV Ratio: 11 - 28
For maximum effectiveness of full spectrum lamps use the new high efficiency open type fixtures (with energy saving features and improved glare control), fixtures with open ("egg crate") louvers, or fixtures with ultraviolet transmitting diffusers... ideally K-S-H Utran Panels.

Full Spectrum Lighting Simulates Natural Daylight, What More Could You Want? |
Why Natural 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 ourdoor light. Natural 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 Natural light is the ideal fluorescent for all tasks requiring accurate color and detail perception (Natural daylight: CRI=100, Full spectrum light; CRI=91).
****************** ********************
Full spectrum light can reduce glare and is particularly effective over VDT screens and other visually demanding tasks. Full spectrum light is available in over 30 different wattages and sizes...fits existing fixtures. |
