Indoor Sunshine Bio-Correct Natural Daylight Bulbs
Fill every day with sunshine! Because they so closely match natural daylight (at 5300 degrees Kelvin), these full-spectrum spiral lightbulbs facilitate accurate color matching and detail work, without the eyestrain. Enjoy their energy-saving benefits too! Full-spectrum bulbs last 10,000 hours (equivalent to 13 incandescent lightbulbs) and use only 20% of the electricity. They stay cool, have a standard base, and may be installed base-up or base-down. They are not intended to be used with dimmer switches or touch-on lamps. Choose the 15W bulb for 60 watts of light and 825 lumens, the 25W bulb for 120 watts of light and 1450 lumens, the 30W bulb for 150 watts of light and 1750 lumens, and the 3-way bulb for 20/23/30 watts of light.

Magnifier Scope
This scope is for magnifying and illuminating objects, while keeping your hands free to work. The lamp has a 3 diopter, 5¼" diameter lens and a 20W halogen bulb (included). It is attached to a full movement, 28" extension swing arm with a metal clamp for attaching to a board or table. Replacement bulbs are available. 120V. 60 Hz. UL listed.

How to Light Your Studio or Workspace Perfectly for Creating Art
Since way back when Edison invented the first light bulb, artists have been searching for the best lighting for their studios! Creating beautiful works of art requires the appropriate lighting and illumination. When setting up your art studio or the space where you will create your future masterpieces, you must pay particular attention to the lighting, particularly if you have no natural lighting (or limited natural lighting) within the space. The market is rich with options for lighting up your artwork and your workspace, from easel lights and magnifier lamps to swing arm or clip on lamps and picture lights. You will also find a variety of light boxes and light tables.

Should You Choose Full Spectrum or Natural Lighting?
Yes! Full spectrum or natural lighting is just what you might imagine – as close to natural daylight as you can get. A full spectrum light will allow you to see things more crisply, which can be particularly important when working with color and detail. What’s more, full spectrum lighting is thought to make you feel cheerier; in fact, some folks use it to combat seasonal affective syndrome during the winter months.
