Maintenance Engineering Product Tip “Full Spectrum Light Treats Winter Blues”

Every winter, millions of people suffer from a condition called Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), also known as “Winter Blues” or “Cabin Fever.” Its symptoms include being tired and irritable all the time, over-eating, and a general feeling of sadness.

The condition is brought on by a lack of natural light, such as you would get from the sun or from full spectrum fluorescent lamps. Treating SAD is as simple as looking at full spectrum lights, such as Maintenance Engineering’s great Vitalux lamps, every day.

For those who want to study this more, you may request copies of this bulletin by calling the Product Service Department. So, in addition to improving productivity and seeability with better quality lighting, you customer’s health may also be improved by our better fluorescent colors.
