ALZO 45-Watt Photo CFL Full Spectrum Light Bulb
Customer Reviews
I needed a full spectrum, BRIGHT light for watercolor painting. Even though I have a variety of light in my art studio, I found that once the sun went down, my colors shifted dramatically and I couldn't tell the subtle differences between colors even with the brightest lights. Even those commercial lights that "promised" true color did not deliver.
I hesitated getting a full spectrum bulb because I had one years ago (an expensive one that had rave reviews) and it always made me a little sick to my stomach- the color was very strange (very much like a bathroom at Subway or something) and it flickered a bit.
However, not getting any work done after the sunset or on rainy days was starting to be a real hinderance, so I bit the bullet and ordered this 45-Watt bulb. I am so pleased!
It's VERY bright! It's replacing a standard 100 watt bulb and it's much brighter than that. It's easily the brightest light in the house, but not in a way that makes you feel like it's a spotlight. It's also a PERFECT shade of white light- not too cool, and has no eerie "color" cast like green or blue. It truly is like sitting by the window on a sunny day. It also turns on immediately (no flickering or warming up) and stays true. I also have to say that I feel myself a little more energized when sitting under it- I know these bulbs are sometimes used for Seasonal Affective Disorder and even though this bulb is not designed for that specific purpose, I do feel a moderate difference in my mood.
My only complaint is that it's heavy and large- the bulb is about 7" long and 2.5" deep. It screwed right into my medium-sized drafting lamp (designed for standard bulbs you buy at the grocery store, so no special lamp needed), but pokes out a bit from the metal hood. I'm a little worried that I might inadvertently smash the bulb while reaching for something across my workspace. It's also testing the strength of the hinge on my lamp.
But to be honest, I'm so pleased with this bulb that I'd rather invest in another lamp than switch it out. And I am seriously thinking about purchasing several more of these bulbs to replace the standard bulbs we have around our house. The bright, sunny light makes that much of a difference.
This light is beautiful! Reading under its light is an amazing experience. My text is clear, soft and very easy on the eyes. Its beautiful pure white light is made clear when you place it next to other so called white and full spectrum lights. Next to this they all have a yellow tone to one extent or another. It took me 10 expensive light purchases before I found this. Save your money and buy this one first then you can compare it to others and be ready to be shocked.
I like this tone so much that I have removed the long florescent tubes in my kitchen and changed the base to accept standard light bulbs so I can use this instead. Over time I will replace every light in my house with this exact light. At night if you lay under the light and close your eyes, you can almost trick your mind into thinking its soft sunlight... Simply wonderful for those that live in 25C temps every day.
