Debunking Full-Spectrum Lighting Claims

GreenSwirl writes "Full-spectrum light sources often are claimed to promote health, mood and productivity in schools and offices. The Lighting Research Center at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, New York, has published an independent report evaluating full-spectrum light sources. Practically all health claims are debunked and many products are shown to have a less-than-full spectrum. The report was produced as part of the National Lighting Product Information Program, an objective third-party funded by government and utilities."
