Scotopic Enhancement
Scientists at the Lawrence Berkeley Labs have determined that if light is enhanced in the blue/green aspect of visible light, the pupil will constrict and visual acuity will improve.

The patented NaturaLux™ Filters are also the first and only filter that offers scotopic enhancement, and will allow your eyes to work more efficiently in less light. This means you can decrease energy use with lower-watt lamps without compromising your visual tasking environment.

 
Full Spectrum
The term “full spectrum” means that the light source contains all of the colors found in visible light. When the red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet light components are combined, the eye sees the light as being white.

Fluorescent lamps emit a higher amount of yellow-green light. Cool White fluorescent light that passes through the NaturaLux Filter™ is converted into full spectrum light, which closely resembles the visual quality of natural outdoor sunlight.
