Why Lighting Matters

Our habits, lifestyle, and views have changed radically over the past century. But when it comes to lighting we still use the one that's based on 19th-century technology that harms our health on a daily basis. Lighting matters and here is why.

The sources of light in your home, at the office, and anywhere else you are absorbing the most lighting affects your physical, mental, and emotional states.

There is always new research popping up, including a published in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism, about how exposure to certain types of artificial light before sleeping, and during the night, in general, can increase the risk of type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and even cancer.

Why put some much emphasis on lighting?

Our bodies need a properly measured quantity of light at the right intensity and at the right time of day to act as crucial indications for our internal body clock (and it's not just the quantity that matters, it's the quality). The internal body clock should naturally balance with the ultimate timekeeper: the sundial.

Light in the morning is the natural indicator that helps us wake up and get ready to start a productive day, while softer and dimmer light at night cues us to get ready for undisturbed sleep.

"Light is critical for our health and well-being. Ensuring that we receive adequate light levels at the appropriate time of day benefits our alertness, mood, productivity, sleep patterns and many aspects of our physiology," claims Dr. Victoria Revell, a chronobiologist at the University of Surrey.

What is the right amount of light?

The proper amount of light we need really depends on the time, and the activity in motion.

During the peak of a productive day, we need higher levels of light to stay focused on work, school, watching the kids, etc... However, as the day is closing in, during the evening is actually the time to relax (a concept that many people are starting to disbelief).

At night, your light bulbs should be dimmed and the TV, laptop, tablet and any other bright electronic device should be switched off an hour before sleeping. But, it's 2016 and it's nearly impossible. The most bulbs don't know exactly what time of day needs which type of lighting, so your lights are not dimmed conveniently for you to the right tone, intensity, color, and temperature so you can wake up how you are supposed to... Fresh and ready to go!

Artificial lighting is the problem

The issue with using most artificial light bulbs at night is they decrease your levels of melatonin – a hormone, which is produced by the pineal gland (that sits in the middle of your brain) around 9:00pm to 8:00am.

Melatonin is vital to our body's health because it's what makes us happy and works in balance with our natural circadian rhythm. When the melatonin is off, physiological, mental, and emotional functions are affected, in turn, affects everything around us including our loved ones. It especially affects our ability to think clearly, sleep well, have a regular and healthy sex life, and regulation of blood pressure and glucose levels. In addition, melatonin deficiency can lead to severe depression, insomnia, and even diabetes according to some sources that believe stress is a crucial enabler for diabetes.

Light therapy can help, so don't knock it until you try it.

Getting the proper quality and quantity of light can be challenging if you have unusual work and sleep hours, and/or if you live in a time zone where all the lighting can get tricky in general such as St. Petersburg, Russia, or Anchorage, Alaska.

So why not try SVET? In just a few simple steps like twisting a SVET bulb into a regular socket and downloading the App, you will have the right lighting you need without harsh chemicals like they have in most conventional bulbs, and it's made out of recycled materials. The is genius bulb is set to mimic the sun, and get your body back on its natural track.

"Light therapy (phototherapy) may help with depression, seasonal affective disorder (SAD), jet lag, and sleep disorders. It may help reset your "biological clock" (circadian rhythms), which controls sleeping and waking.  Light therapy may be most effective when you use it first thing in the morning when you wake up. Response to this therapy usually occurs in 2 to 4 days, but it may take up to 3 weeks of light therapy before symptoms of SAD (such as depression) are relieved," according to WebMD.

SVET goes to China to set up the contract manufacturing

It is really important to us at SVET that we deliver our healthy product in a timely manner. Thus, we made it to Shenzhen, China, to meet the best contract manufacturers in the lighting industry to start producing the human-centric SVET bulbs.

We spent a whole week in and out of factories and discovered a few amazing full cycle and state-of-the-art production lines that not only meet all our requirements but are precisely attentive to quality control.

One of the most challenging aspects of having a vision for revolutionizing the world of lighting into healthier living is delivering a mass-production of SVET's technical properties like high CRI range, non-flickering feature etc... But it looks like we are right on track!

Now that we’re well on our way, we have begun to negotiate with a top-tier manufacturer who has production facilities in both Europe and Asia to get SVET delivered to you as soon as possible.

As our community members of our grassroots initiative, we want you to be involved in the process of production from scratch, and we will continue to update you on all upcoming news related to this topic. Thanks for sticking by SVET!

How does a poor lighting affect us?

It's almost impossible to change the mindset and habits of people. When it comes to our home lighting most of us make only one decision - where to shop for a cheaper light bulb. But what about the side effects of poor artificial light in terms of our health and well-being? Sometimes it's more than just crucial.

The most common complaints resulting from poor lighting are: difficulty seeing documents or screens (too much light or glare, or too little light or shadows), eye strain, eye irritation, blurred vision, dry burning eyes, and headaches.

Poor lighting affects not only the ocular system but can also contribute to stiff necks and aches in the shoulder area. These problems can occur when people adopt poor or awkward postures when trying to read something under poor lighting conditions.

For maximum comfort to your eyes and creating a good visual environment you should: have sufficient light, source it from the right direction and avoid obscuring shadows, provide good (but not excessive) contrast between the task and the background, limit glare and extreme contrasts, and provide the right type of light.

As a full-spectrum and flicker-free lighting source, SVET allows you to see the colors of your surroundings with minimal distortions. It means SVET emits high quality light that does not harm your eyes providing you with a comfortable lighting throughout the day.

Take care of your eyes!

How to see yourself at your best in the mirror?

Let's be frank, we all struggle with distortions of our mirrors. Sometimes the difference between one mirror and another is quite significant, and leaves you even question your own appearance. In general, it's not because of your mirror but because of the lighting in your home.

We have listed for you a few tips on how to fix your lighting in order to get the most out of your mirror’s surface.

A proper lighting can fix this unpleasant omission of your mirror and allow you to see yourself more easily in the mirror when grooming or dressing.

Here is a guideline for you to have good color, non-glaring light, evenly distributed across your face.

• Place the fixtures on both sides of the mirror at about eye level to minimize shadows cast by your eyebrows, nose, and chin.

• Hide the direct view of the bulb while standing at the mirror by selecting fixtures with opaque fronts or shielding boards.

• Use only bulbs with good color properties. Ask for CCT between 2700 and 3500 K and for CRI of 80 or above.

• Choose countertop surfaces with light colors to reflect light to the underside of your chin. Use light color finishes on walls and ceiling.

On top of all tips, try to avoid fixtures located directly over your head. These fixtures make hard shadows on your face so it is difficult to apply makeup or to shave. A long fixture located over your mirror will bounce light off light-colored walls, ceiling, and counter. The bounced light will light your face more evenly and thereby help you to see your face well without shadows.

Thus, balanced light makes a difference in how you see yourself in the mirror. With our high-quality light bulb SVET you can succeed in creating a proper lighting for all of your activities and needs. SVET allows you to see colors of your surroundings with minimal distortions because it's full-spectrum and non-flickering. This is very important not only for your look but for our vision and well-being as natural colors are more comfortable for the eyes.
