ALZO full spectrum light bulbs are sold under the registered trademark brand "Joyous Light".
Full spectrum lighting refers to light or light bulbs that cover the entire electromagnetic spectrum from low infrared to ultraviolet and above. ALZO Joyous Light CFL (Compact Fluorescent Light) bulbs replicate sunlight and are daylight balanced with a color temperature of 5,500 Kelvin, and a CRI (Color Rendering Index) of 91. The light produced by these bulbs is brilliant pure white and renders colors beautifully and accurately. In addition, ALZO Joyous Light bulbs are commonly used for the treatment of SAD or Seasonal Affective Disorder, also known as winter blues.
"The general therapeutic effect of light on seasonal affective disorder (SAD) has been widely acknowledged." (Study titled "Spectral properties of phototherapy for seasonal affective disorder: a meta-analysis" published by Acta Psychiatrica Scandinavica)
ALZO Joyous Light full spectrum light bulbs are available in 4 different intensities: 15 watt, 27 watt, 45 watt and 85 watt. All ALZO bulbs fit common medium-base E26/E27 sockets. These bulbs are larger than standard incandescent light bulbs, and will most likely require larger lamp harps when installed in table lamps and floor fixtures. ALZO offers different sizes of lamp harps.

The pioneer of research in this field is Dr. Norman Rosenthal, the author of the book "Winter Blues."
