Aurora Light Box™ - portable full spectrum lighting. Originally marketed as a non-pharmaceutical treatment for Seasonal Affective Disorder, I now see these online as the "only medical grade light box on the market". And these are great for light therapy, anytime of year. But I also use these in the shop and workplace for.......
- Vehicle side panel illumination when detailing
- Vehicle paint inspection in the garage
- Room illumination for paint and construction projects
- Undercar lighting with the car on the lift
- Lighting for indoor photography (for product detail)
- General fill-in illumination
The Aurora™ light box's primary benefits, compared to the commonly used halogen work lights are............
- Far less heat and energy consumption (110w vs 500w)
- Greater lumen output - Aurora™ claims 10,000 lux @ 24" (these proprietary T5 bulbs are made in Germany)
- Higher color accuracy and color temperatures simulate Noon daylight conditions (5000K and 98 CRI)
- Greater safety - lower temperatures mean less chance of burns or fire
- Longer bulb life....20,000hrs vs ???? (I've had halogen bulbs fail within the first hour of operation)
The Aurora™ consists of 2 main components:
The "Box": a metal case enclosure with a convenient handle for transport and rubber feet for placement in an upright or flat position. There are also slots on the rear of the housing for mounting the light box on a tripod or stand. The special prismatic lens on the box deflects glare and filters out UV.
The Light: 2 Lumichrome® High CRI full spectrum fluorescent tubes. Made in Germany, Lumichrome® is the highest quality, closest simulation of the noontime sun available in a light bulb (98 CRI, 5000K). This is Lumiram's propriety full spectrum fluorescent lamp; no other light therapy bulb out there will match the quality/color/efficacy of these particular specialty light bulbs.
I stock the T55W 1X bulbs for immediate shipment. Actual shipping costs apply on the light box and any bulbs.
