 I love my Alzo Full Spectrum Light Bulbs! December 5, 2009

I am a painter of the 'visual art' variety. I use these bulbs in my artist lamps and they are wonderful. Gone are the days of painting at night then discovering in the light of day that my colors are all wrong! Also they are great for lighting my paintings for photographing them. These bulbs are really pretty tough...I knocked a lamp over and the bulb did not break,whew!
bright light and TRUE, sunny color without being too cold or "eerie" August 11, 2010

I needed a full spectrum, BRIGHT light for watercolor painting. Even though I have a variety of light in my art studio, I found that once the sun went down, my colors shifted dramatically and I couldn't tell the subtle differences between colors even with the brightest lights. Even those commercial lights that "promised" true color did not deliver.
I hesitated getting a full spectrum bulb because I had one years ago (an expensive one that had rave reviews) and it always made me a little sick to my stomach- the color was very strange (very much like a bathroom at Subway or something) and it flickered a bit.
However, not getting any work done after the sunset or on rainy days was starting to be a real hinderance, so I bit the bullet and ordered this 45-Watt bulb. I am so pleased!
It's VERY bright! It's replacing a standard 100 watt bulb and it's much brighter than that. It's easily the brightest light in the house, but not in a way that makes you feel like it's a spotlight. It's also a PERFECT shade of white light- not too cool, and has no eerie "color" cast like green or blue. It truly is like sitting by the window on a sunny day. It also turns on immediately (no flickering or warming up) and stays true. I also have to say that I feel myself a little more energized when sitting under it- I know these bulbs are sometimes used for Seasonal Affective Disorder and even though this bulb is not designed for that specific purpose, I do feel a moderate difference in my mood.
My only complaint is that it's heavy and large- the bulb is about 7" long and 2.5" deep. It screwed right into my medium-sized drafting lamp (designed for standard bulbs you buy at the grocery store, so no special lamp needed), but pokes out a bit from the metal hood. I'm a little worried that I might inadvertently smash the bulb while reaching for something across my workspace. It's also testing the strength of the hinge on my lamp.
But to be honest, I'm so pleased with this bulb that I'd rather invest in another lamp than switch it out. And I am seriously thinking about purchasing several more of these bulbs to replace the standard bulbs we have around our house. The bright, sunny light makes that much of a difference.
Nice side-effect December 10, 2009

I bought this light because I needed something very bright to replace a halogen. At first I was disappointed to see that it was not as bright as I had hoped. But then I realised that the different spectrum somehow made up for it. I did not miss the brightness, because I could "see better" with this different spectrum.
I did not expect this effect at all. It is nice.
This is the Light you have been searching for! February 6, 2010

This light is beautiful! Reading under its light is an amazing experience. My text is clear, soft and very easy on the eyes. Its beautiful pure white light is made clear when you place it next to other so called white and full spectrum lights. Next to this they all have a yellow tone to one extent or another. It took me 10 expensive light purchases before I found this. Save your money and buy this one first then you can compare it to others and be ready to be shocked.
I like this tone so much that I have removed the long florescent tubes in my kitchen and changed the base to accept standard light bulbs so I can use this instead. Over time I will replace every light in my house with this exact light. At night if you lay under the light and close your eyes, you can almost trick your mind into thinking its soft sunlight... Simply wonderful for those that live in 25C temps every day.
Great for Video Lighting May 12, 2010
Jason Ayers (Chandler, AZ United States)
I purchased four of these 45 watt lights after I spent a lot of time trying to color balance tungsten temperature bulbs (about 2800K) and after being told my Skype video had a green tint. These bulbs are big and won't fit in your standard clamp light, but the light and color they produce is great. The color temperature is daylight balanced and doesn't have a strong blue tint. Colors look great - I just ordered four of the 85 watt version for more video lighting: Full Spectrum Light Bulb - ALZO 85 watt Photo CFL 5500K - Case of 4 - daylight balanced pure white light - 4250 Lumens - by [...]
