Studies show lighting can affect children’s health and their ability to learn. "Full-Spectrum" light is associated with health & scholastic performance.*
Sadly, COMMON full-spectrum lights are not truly full-spectrum!
As full-spectrum light pioneers (Ott Light Systems, 1987-97), we recognized the value of invisible UV, however the essential need for invisible near infrared light (NIR) was not established at the time.
COMMON Full-Spectrum Lights Lack "Essential" Near Infrared
Why that Matters
Near infrared wavelengths interact with biological tissues and mitochondria, supporting processes such as cellular energy production and tissue repair. All full-spectrum lights that lack NIR are "not balanced" with the full range of sunlight’s biologically relevant wavelengths.

Dr. John Ott, Father of Full-Spectrum Light
Photobiology pioneer Dr. John Ott's fascinating, "time-lapse" photography classroom research demonstrated light's impact on health & scholastic performance. **
Patented SOLshine builds on Dr. Ott's original, full-spectrum light technology and intrinsically improves the biological benefits with the "fullest" spectrum light that includes a "broad band" of essential near infrared light (NIR) for a "balanced spectral diet."
NIR Benefits
- NIR and red light helps reduce the risk of retinal-inflammation by priming the cells in the retina for "repair & regeneration."
- NIR is critical to the production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the fuel cells need for metabolism and all vital functions.
- "One third of the energy your body consumes comes from the food you eat. The vast majority of the energy your body needs to maintain systemic equilibrium comes from environmental infrared light exposure."
