Re: reed making lamp/bulb?

I can vouch for the effectiveness of full-spectrum lighting. I've used several versions of "Ott-Lite" products over the years, but have found the build-quality to be lacking, as all their lamps seem to be made of the same light-weight plastic.

You can now purchase full-spectrum rated fluorescent and incandescent bulbs as well, which can fit in practically any fixture you may have. I have a circular full-spectrum fluorescent bulb in my heavy dentist-style swinging arm lamp (the kind with a magnifier), which is my main reed desk light.

At first, full-spectrum lights may strike you as not being very "bright," compared with standard bulbs, but the quality of the light emitted is such that you don't need it to be so intense. The perceived heat, especially from the fluorescent version, seems to be much less than standard bulbs as well.
