Full Spectrum LED Bulb for SAD Disorder
I am an 86-year-old female living in a retirement home. I have a small unit on the first floor of a multi-unit building. I would like advice on what full spectrum light to buy. I may get a SAD disorder, want to try one of your bulbs.
Based on the details provided, we would likely recommend our flicker-free lights that offer a high CRI in the 2700K color temperature. The flicker-free aspect is helpful for reducing eye strain, and the CRI is helpful for providing accurate color representation.
You may have noticed in the past that cheap lightbulbs or fluorescent tubes wash subjects in a yellow hue, which is largely due to those products having a much lower CRI than our products (With a CRI of 60-80 compared to 95+). The 2700K color temperature is often recommended for residential installations. This color temperature provides a warm glow that is easier on the eyes than the cooler color temperatures used in art studios and retail spaces.
The primary products that we would recommend would be the 2700K Ultra High 95 CRI A19 5W LED Filament Bulb for Home & Residential or the 2700K CENTRIC HOME™ Flicker-Free A19 10W LED Bulb. The former option provides a warm output in a filament-style format, whereas the latter offers much higher output but is not compatible with fully enclosed fixtures.
