Spectrum Compact Fluorescent Reading Lights The Sunwave® light bulbs are the newest and most advanced full spectrum reading bulbs in the world today. Each bulb has a flicker-free electronic ballast and is compact enough to fit into most household lighting fixtures. The Sunwave® with Phosphor Lux™ blend was designed and developed by a team of lighting experts and led by one of the inventors of full spectrum lighting. This newly designed blend creates a glare-free light which increases visual acuity levels and can help you concentrate longer with greater comfort. Sunwave® reading bulbs can also reduce eye stress and strain while creating a color balanced and relaxing environment. As an added benefit, modern research has shown that correct full spectrum light can significantly increase students’ test scores and productivity among workers. |
Spectral
Distribution Comparisons   |
- 93 CRI, 5550° Kelvin
- Provides Natural Color As In Sunlight
- Increases Visual Acuity
- Reduces Eye Fatigue
- Creates a Glare-Free and Comfortable Reading Environment
- Duplicates Vivid Absolute Color
- 90% Lifetime Lumen Output
- Flicker-Free Electronic Ballast
- Long Life: Rated for 10,000 Hours
- Available in 20, 23, 26 & 30 watt
The
20 watt is 4 1/8" long while the 23 watt is 5"
long and the 26 is 5 1/8" long. This small size
makes them cost effective for use in incandescent light
fixtures. Ideal for replacing your current high-wattage,
short-lived bulbs.

| 23 Watt Compact Fluorescent | 90 Watt Incandescent | |
| Bulbs needed for 10,000 hrs. of light | 1 | 10 |
| Bulb cost (sale price) | $19.99 | $7.50 (10 x $.75) |
| Energy cost for 10,000 hrs. of light* | $19.55 | $76.50 |
| Total Cost | $39.54 | $84.00 |

1 year of continuous use is 365 days * 24 hours/day =
8,760 hours.
10,000 hours/lamp / 8,760 hours/year = 1.2 years of
continuous use. Lamps are warranted for 1 year. Bulb will
last for at 2 to 3 years or more depending on use.
Typical base energy savings over an 90 Watt incandescent
is estimated at 67 watts/bulb * life of the bulb 10,000
hours / 1,000 watts/kwh = 670 kwh per bulb.
Typical base rate savings for electricity for selected
cities.
Maui, Hawaii, $0.24/kwh * 670 kwh Energy Savings $160.80
New York, New York, $0.17/kwh Energy Savings $113.90

Trimming your peak demand can add significant
additional savings. Similarly, New York and California (check
with your local utility) offer Rebates based on Energy
Savings and Peak Demand Reduction programs which can save
you even more. In addition to energy saavings, you save $7.50
to $17.50 or more or the cost of the other replacement
bulbs you did not buy. If your are adding new fixtures,
you start saving right away if you specifiy SunWave
Spiral Bulbs. If you think utility rates are going to be
going up, right now would be a good time to lock in
energy savings in your relamping program.

"The more we come to understand agout
lighting the more we appreciate it's importance. Lighting
projects present a significant opportunity for us to add
value to our facilities and improve the workplace."
James Woods, Energy Conservation Officer
U.S.Department of Commerce
"At the Department of State we've learned
from experience that our employees feel strongly about
having good lighting, and that lighting can help our
people accomplish their missions. Energy and cost savings
along with imporved environments give us the best of both
worlds."

Economic Impact of Lighting on Federal Productivity
"If energy effective relighting were accomplished in
Federal office buildings, the benefit would exten above
and beyond the energy savings. The mean value of improved
productivity from effective relighting in the Federal
sector has been estimated at $1.64/SF per year, with a
total annual value of $640 million. While productivity
improvements are not typically introduced into a payback
scenario, these tremendous potential benefits indicate
that all reasonable effort should be made to provide
Energy Effective Lighting using Federal life cycle cost
guidelines."
The New Standard of Practice
"The year 2000... IESNA (Illuminating
Engineering Society of North America) Lighting Handbook,
9th edition .. fundamentally changes lighting
specification practices. ...and it has significant
implications for Federal lighting projects. In offices,
the most important design characteristics are brightness
(luminance) of the room surfaces, reflected glare, and
direct glare."
"With each lighting project, we have a
crucial opportunity to improve lighting conditions for
the Federal workforce. Attention to lighting quality is
clearly a win-win approach that has the potential to
raise morale and productivity while simultaneously
reducing operating costs and meeting our energy
efficiency goals."

Tuning the Light
Spectrum To Improve Energy Efficiency By Guest Writer Sam Berman.
IAEEL newsletter 2/92 http://www.iaeel.org/IAEEL/NEWSL/1992/tva1992/HumFa_2_92.html
New research suggests that by tuning the
light spectrum, light levels can be reduced without
compromising visual performance. if this holds true, it
might mean substantial energy savings in the future.
The Coming
Revolution in Lighting Practice Sam

Research on vision
suggests that we have more to learn about the eye and
energy efficiency
Many engineering and
architectural texts contain an incorrect view of how the
eye deals with light. In these texts one encounters the
correct statement that our eyes have two types of
photoreceptors, namely cones and rods, along with the
erroneous statement that the cones are responsible for
day vision and the rods responsible for night vision.
Vision scientists have long known that
this segregation of day and night vision is overly
simplistic. Nevertheless, until some recent efforts by
two pragmatic scientists, the significance of a better
understanding of the workings of the eye for lighting
practice and lighting energy efficiency had been entirely
overlooked.
