Task Lamps and Lighting

Verilux Full Spectrum Task Lamps and Lighting

Verilux full spectrum task lamps set the standard for natural, "daylight" lighting more than 50 years ago. All Verilux task lights use full spectrum light to enhance the clarity and contrast of project materials, craft work and task work. Full spectrum light improves vision while reducing eyestrain and fatigue. Importantly, our lamps are backed by the Verilux Risk Free Guarantee . All task lamps are available in a wide variety of models and colors. Our patented flicker-free ballast and Optix™ glare control filter are unique in the industry, delivering daylight intensity, full spectrum light, without glare.

Better Light for Task work - Traditional incandescent vs. Full spectrum

The best light for tasks, artwork, craft work or other detail work is bright, natural, and glare free. Full spectrum light achieves this by delivering the "full" or "natural" light spectrum to your eye. Typical incandescent bulbs produce light only from the "warmer" red, yellow and orange parts of the visual spectrum, while completely missing the "cooler" colors of the blue portion of the spectrum. Unfortunately, this has resulted in a general acceptance of poor, yellowish light as the "norm" in homes and workplaces alike.

Verilux pioneered full spectrum lighting in 1956

In 1956, Verilux founder, Howard Scott, developed the "Trucolite®" as a way to produce the full spectrum of sunlight indoors. The Trucolite was a large fixture with six colored fluorescent tubes that, together, closely replicated natural sunlight. His invention was so revolutionary that it quickly became the standard in the gemological industry for diamond grading - an industry which clearly values a precise assessment of clarity, contrast and color. Over the next 30 years, Scott undertook considerable research and development producing an earth phosphor formula – the Trucolite® formula – that could be deployed in a single fluorescent tube - with even better results. That special Trucolite® formula of full spectrum phosphors is the technology currently employed in all Verilux® full spectrum products.

Verilux compact fluorescent (CFL) technology

The full line of Verilux task lights utilize our patented 27 watt "four finger" compact fluorescent bulb (CFL). This unique CFL, produces the equivalent of 150 watts of full spectrum light, lasts up to 10 times longer (10,000 hours) than incandescent bulbs, and consumes 80% less energy. Verilux is proud to have lead the lighting industry in the design and development of compact fluorescent technology. To emphasize our commitment to CFL, we recently introduced a new line of spiral compact fluorescent bulbs for use throughout your home or office.

Verilux floor lamps - seven keys to quality

Not all task lamps are created equally. Verilux provides a guide to evaluate your task lamp and make your purchase decision based on seven specific criteria:

• Full spectrum light
• Glare protection
• Style
• Adjust-ability
• Accessories
• Guarantee
• Customer service

Full spectrum light - Full spectrum light provides task workers with better contrast, clarity and color separation. In general, and for all ages, full spectrum light allows one to work longer, with better concentration and without headaches or eyestrain.

Glare protection - Full spectrum light is bright light. That's why all Verilux task lamps include either our Optix™ glare control filter or our Verilux grid diffuser. The Optix filter is exclusive to Verilux, and eliminates reflective glare while allowing just the right amount of light - for hours of comfortable reading.

Style - Verilux task lights (including desk lamps, floor lamps and portables) are available in more than 20 different styles, colors and finishes. From our EasyFlex floor lamp to our Full Spectrum Portable to our Full Spectrum ShopLight we have a broad product line with lamps for all projects and environments.

Adjust-ability - Every person's requirements are unique. That's why we've designed all our task lamps to adjust in numerous ways. Pivoting heads, adjustable "Easyflex" gooseneck designs, ergonomic height adjustment and multiple light intensity switch settings make Verilux task lights easy to adapt to your surroundings.

Accessories - Verilux offers a convenient magnifier to allow precise detail work. The magnifier easily connects to all floor lamps. The Verilux utilty tray also connects to our floor lamps and is a handy tray to hold and organize your project materials or personal items.

Guarantee - We stand by our products - their design, their manufacture and their operation. All Verilux task lights and lamps are covered by our Verilux Risk Free Guarantee .
