summary
This site is dedicated to electric substitutes for the sun. Sun-lamps, heat-lamps and light-sources, designed to simulate the natural and well-doing radiation of the sun. A sun-lamp emits ultraviolet radiation, a heat-lamp infrared radiation. A light-source emits radiation in the visible part of the electromagnetic spectrum. This can be full-spectrum light but also filtered light with a specific colour. The purpose is always the same: Artificial generation of a part of the sun’s spectrum. This site focuses on electrically generated radiation for medical purposes or for human well-being.
