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.

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.

darken, but this will fade after a few minutes.  
With older bulbs, darkening of the tubing indicates end of bulb life. (This  
doesn’t affect operation except to reduce the amount of light available,  
since the phosphor in that area has become inactive.) Bulb replacement  
is recommended.
