Why Full Spectrum Light? |
|
All living beings are light and colour controlled. Since primeval times, all living beings are fed from the light energy of the sun. The cells have orientated themselves to these archetype energy sources, they are programmed accordingly. Every cell, every organ responds to the different colour oscillations of light.
Therefore, it goes without saying that throughout the evolution of mankind, just like animals and plants, the body is equipped with special antennas which receive this light energy and convert it into cell energy. One of these light antennas is the eye, which receives the light-/colour oscillations and transmits them on two ways to the
brain.
The first light path is the so-called optical path, which leads from the eye to the cortex of the cerebrum, where the "light pictures" are accepted for the optical sight function. For this sight function, also the colour spectrum of light is of great significance, alongside with brightness. Because we can only see objects in their natural colours, when they are illuminated by a light which contains all colour oscillations (full spectrum). These light-colour oscillations are reflected, and therefore become visible for the
eye.
The second optical path length is referred to as an energetic path, which leads from the eye to the central brain (epiphysis, hypophyse, hypothalamus), where then the colour oscillations of light (colour spectrum) are further processed to control all life
functions.
If a human being (also an animal or plant) is exposed to an illumination, which provides an insufficient colour spectrum (partial spectrum), consequently the life functions of the relevant person are being insufficiently controlled. Result: physic and mental
dysfunctions, malaise, illness.
Vice versa, the life functions are optimally affected via the hormonal and nerve system with an optimal full spectrum light. Result: physic and mental
capacity, vitality, health. |

Another antenna, which just as the eye can directly receive light and can transfer it to the central brain in order to be processed, is the skin. But also the digestive system can receive light. This happens in an indirect way through food, water and air, in which also the light energy of the sun is stored (at least in their natural form).
If we now make ourselves aware of the fact, that in our civilisation human beings spend their time on an average of 90% in closed areas, it becomes apparent, which decisive factor the quality of artificial light plays regarding our health and our
well-being.
Still the best and most natural illumination is the sunlight. The requirement for a likewise daylight alternative is met by the Menta-Soler - full spectrum light - ideally, since it provides the full-colour spectrum, which matches the daylight by 95%.
With this full spectrum light, our organism receives the information by light, it requires, in order that all its biological life functions can proceed harmoniously. Thus the full spectrum light has an harmonising effect on the procedures such as metabolism, blood circulation, temperature regulation, hormone production, nerve system and immune system. Physic and mental capacity, well-being and wholesomeness are the
results.
Especially at work, we are exposed to artificial light for longer periods, why a bad illumination will negatively affect us in many ways. Also a place at the window is no warranty for an optimal illumination, for this one must know that usual window grate filters out certain colour spectrums, e.g. the ultraviolet parts, which are so important for our
health.
Drop in performance, concentration problems, wearing out rapidly, stress, depression, motivation deficiency, chronic illness, high error rates, low productivity, absence through illness, disturbed working atmosphere, etc., are often aftereffects of an artificial illumination with a partial light spectrum at the workplace.
The eye sight also will be lowered through an insufficient identification of the different colours, which will lead to a reduced job
performance.
This means:
Higher demands on the job, make the quality of illumination regarding colour rendition (colour spectrum), glared reflexes and brightness even more
important.
Here, full spectrum light can produce relief, with positive results for employer and
employee.
Regarding the illumination of sales and show rooms, objects, products or goods will be presented in their natural colours and forms, due to the brilliant colour rendition attributes of the full spectrum light (> Ra 96). If special application cases require a certain light atmosphere, then besides the full spectrum light, there are also illuminations available that comply with a "warm tone".
Application use
cases:
In all buildings, where we spend a longer period of time, being exposed to artificial light, an optimal quality of the illumination should be given special
attention.
Accounted among them are workplaces, living quarters, especially schools, universities, kindergarten, hospitals, nursing homes, but also domiciles for animals and
plants.

Many scientific surveys prove on the one hand, that health dysfunctions, such as headache, malaise, concentration problems, depression (winter depression), irritability, lack of power, up to dysfunctions of metabolism and immune system as well as organic dysfunctions can be the result of a lack of daylight.
On the other hand prove these surveys even the positive stimulating and harmonising effect of full spectrum light on our organism to further health, wellness, physical and mental capacity.
