They use 75% less energy than a regular light bulb. The BioBulb is able to create an amazing 1750 lumens of light. This is 3 times that produced by a standard 60w bulb, which only manages 600 lumens. It also generates less heat than a normal bulb, which means it is easily the best energy efficient light bulb you can buy.

100 Watts of pure daylight, but only consumes 25 Watts!

Did you know?

Around 90% of the light people are exposed to today is artificial, low intensity and narrow spectrum light. That means only 10% is natural sunlight. You probably wouldn’t even think about light deficiency, but even a grey, cloudy day (and in the UK we have a lot) is enough to decrease your serotonin levels. Changes in the serotonin hormone levels can alter the mood, making you feel depressed, lethargic and stressed.

The BioBulb replicates natural sunlight, improving the quality of light you are exposed to on a daily basis!

The BioBulb has shown to be effective in improving your mood, night time sleep and your energy level during the day:

• BioBulbs will benefit anyone who suffers from Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD). Also, people who have a compromised immune system or poor quality of sleep as a result of asthma, eczema or chemical sensitivity can be prone to seasonal depression.

• In diagnosed cases of SAD, light therapy is up to 85% effective and involves sitting in front of a light box for one or two hours a day. Nearly one in five of the UK population is affected by a minor form of the condition, known as sub-syndrome SAD. This can be improved significantly by having the simulated daylight produced by BioBulbs in your home.

• The quality of light is remarkable and just one hour relaxing in the same room with two Biobulbs will have the same benefit as a 3000lux light box. Just sit about 1.5m to 2m away from the bulbs and relax.

• Simply by replacing your ordinary domestic light bulbs around the house, you can improve the mood, energy levels and quality of sleep of everyone living there.

Tests carried out by scientist in San Diego showed that there were improved sleep rhythms, with longer periods of undisturbed sleep and less need for medication, in patients with Alzheimer's who had been exposed to a few hours of bright light before they went to bed.
