Why the Name “Productivity Lamp”?

When it comes to maximizing work, study or task time, the SmartLight™ is the perfect partner. This lamp is designed with Verilux’s patented Natural Spectrum Daylight, a type of full spectrum lighting that replicates key wavelengths of natural daylight, to help you read faster with greater comprehension, work longer without eyestrain, and improve productivity and focus.

Research using full spectrum lighting in a school setting resulted in significantly greater student achievement when compared to other light sources. And naturally lit study environments have also proven to positively impact students’ abilities to understand study materials, resulting in increased math and reading test scores.

The SmartLight combines more than 50 years of research to scientifically tune light to the needs of the human eye. At home, college or office, the SmartLight is the perfect productivity partner.

Scientifically Tuned to the Human Eye™

Verilux Natural Spectrum light is just the right kind of illumination, easily absorbed by the eye, efficiently cueing the body to improve mood, energy and function while reducing light sensitivity, eyestrain and fatigue.

Verilux Natural Spectrum light illuminates in the specific scotopic range, with the right mix of color and intensity to better stimulate your eyes’ photoreceptors, known as “cones” and “rods.” Like daylight, this spectrally enhanced light allows optimum visual stimulation without oversaturation or glare.

Scattered Light Rays (Glare) Slow Visual Processing

Measuring Verilux light with an advanced scotopic light meter quickly shows why Natural Spectrum Illumination is superior. With a high scotopic content and fewer unwanted light rays, all of the eye’s photoreceptors are properly stimulated. This relaxes the eye muscles and protects against potentially harmful over stimulating light that irritates the eye and slows visual processing. It’s just the right light in just the right amount to maximize your enjoyment and productivity.

VC02 specifications

The Verilux VC02 is a state-of-the-art portable light therapy device designed to enhance mood, boost energy levels, and improve overall well-being. It leverages the benefits of light therapy, making it an indispensable tool for individuals facing seasonal affective disorder (SAD), jet lag, or general feelings of fatigue and lethargy.

One of the standout features of the Verilux VC02 is its UV-free full-spectrum light. Unlike traditional light sources, which can emit harmful ultraviolet rays, the VC02 provides a safe form of bright light that simulates natural sunlight. This helps to regulate mood-enhancing hormones, thereby alleviating symptoms typically associated with seasonal mood changes.

The device boasts a highly customizable brightness setting, allowing users to adjust the intensity according to their personal preferences and the ambient lighting conditions. This flexibility ensures that the light therapy experience is tailored to individual needs, making it more effective. The VC02 can produce up to 10,000 lux, which is optimal for users looking for significant mood enhancement and energizing effects.

Furthermore, the Verilux VC02 features a sleek, modern design that complements any space. Its compact size makes it easy to use at home, in the office, or while traveling. The device is equipped with a convenient handle, allowing for effortless portability.

The VC02 also incorporates advanced technology to optimize the light's effectiveness. This includes a specialized reflector that evenly distributes light across a wide area without creating hot spots, ensuring that users receive uniform illumination. The built-in timer is another beneficial feature that promotes consistent use by allowing users to schedule sessions ranging from 15 to 120 minutes.

Another noteworthy characteristic of the Verilux VC02 is its commitment to eye safety. The device is designed to minimize glare and flicker, making it comfortable for prolonged exposure. This is particularly important for individuals who may have sensitivity to bright lights or those who are using the device for extended periods.

In summary, the Verilux VC02 stands out with its UV-free full-spectrum light, adjustable brightness settings, portable design, advanced light distribution technology, and focus on user comfort and eye safety. It is an effective solution for combating seasonal mood disorders and enhancing overall wellness, making it a valuable addition to any wellness routine.
