Review on πŸ”† Frosted Chromalux Lumiram Spectrum Watts by Eric Teofilo

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Mood lifter in a lightbulb

This light bulb saves lives. My office is cavernous with no windows and this has taken a toll on my energy, sanity and sleeping habits. I bought this bulb with some trepidation after reading the mixed reviews (that's a lot of money if the bulb burns out in a week) and it has been running in my desk lamp for about two months with no problems. As some reviewers have pointed out (here and in reviews of other Lumiram lights on Revain), the lamp tends to get a bit warm, but for me it's not noticeable until I turn the lamp off at the end of the day - it does They don't seem to have much of an effect on the overall temperature in my office. In terms of alleviating the problems I had last winter, the lightbulb has done very well. Two days after putting it in the lamp, I had more energy and was less grumpy (to the point that some of my co-workers noticed and commented). I don't think it made a huge difference in my sleep issues, but two out of three isn't bad. I liked this bulb so much that I bought more for four more lamps - one in the office and three more at home. I no longer notice the effects, but the irritability and tiredness don't seem to have returned. To me, that means this bulb did what it says on the tin and I don't think I can ask for more. If you have SAD issues and/or just a boring windowless office like mine, you should seriously consider buying one (or more) of these lightbulbs. I have no idea how they do it, but they work well for the stated purpose!

Pros
  • That's okay!
