Sunlight Quality

Greater Visibilty

Better Performance

Have you ever thought your clothes matched at home—but the colors looked differently when you went outside? That is because different lighting technologies produce different color temperatures. Incandescent lamps offer a more yellow light, while halogen and fluorescent produce a cold bluish color. Metal halide bulbs offer a bright, white light that is the closest simulation to natural sunlight. (That means you’ll match at home and outdoors!)

Did you know that by age 60, the average person requires up to 15 times more light to see than they did when they were 10 years old? Daylight is the best way to provide eyes the needed amount of light to see—but Microsun lamps simulate natural daylight to provide crisp, glare-free light just like the sun.

Amount of light required to see adequately by age

(1) 68 watt Microsun
Total = 68 watts
6,000 lumens
6,000 hour life

(5) 75 watt incandescents
Total = 375 watts
5,850 lumens
1,000 hour life each

(1) 300 watt halogen
Total = 300 watts
5,950 lumens
2,000 hour life

Unlike incandescent bulbs, which often last less than 1,000 hours, metal halide bulbs offer 6,000 hours of operation. On average, that means you’ll only need to change your bulb every 2-3 years!

Microsun lamps use half the amount of energy as other lighting sources. In fact, just one 68-watt Microsun bulb provides the same amount of light as one 300-watt halogen bulb or five 75-watt incandescent bulbs. Additionally, this lower wattage generates less heat than the other bulbs, making it more comfortable to sit next to the lamp.
