Full Spectrum lighting in a fluorescent tube transforms any environment to natural sunlight.

Our Verilux Full Spectrum Fluorescent tubes provide you with the highest quality lighting available. They contain a rare blend of phosphors which provides stable balanced light for unsurpassed color rendition, visual appeal, and biological benefits. The Verilux Natural Spectrum Tubes are an international standard for diamond grading, and used in highly acclaimed institutions such as the Smithsonian, the National Gallery of Art and Sea World.

They are also recognized by indoor gardeners as providing superior results in breeding and raising prize winning Orchids, African Violets and Bonsai.


Verilux Natural Spectrum Light Bulbs last 5,000 hours. Made of hand blown glass, these incredible bulbs are the closest replication of natural sunlight available in an incandescent.

These Verilux bulbs contain neodymium, a rare earth element that filters out the excessive yellow part of the spectrum to which our eyes are most sensitive. Standard base fits most home lighting fixtures.

Maintenance of Fluorescent Tubes

All tubes will wear out over time. The phosphors degrade. Verilux’s phosphors are very stable, yet they too will degrade eventually. It is best to replace them every 18-36 months to assure the most accurate natural spectrum light output. You should also dust the tubes occasionally since dirt cuts down on the amount of light cast by the lamp. Ballasts need proactive replacement. We recommend using an open grid type cover that allows 100% of the light to shine through. It is important to replace the tubes before they burn out. If you can see both ends have darkened, you have waited too long. If the ends become severely darkened 2-3 inches on each side, you have a defective ballast.

We liked them so much that ALL the offices at Tools For Wellness have these lights! Once installed we noticed less eye strain and headaches after long days in the office, especially when staring at a computer screen all day!
