An electrical light bulb is said to be full spectrum lighting if it supplies sufficient ultraviolet light. A plant growth bulb will generate UVA radiation, which helps keep plants healthy. Reptiles and amphibians require a bulb that generates not only UVA, but UVB radiation (the type that can cause sunburns) as well. This is generally considered to be a full spectrum light, and can be generated by a fluorescent tube light. Mercury-vapor lamps and halogen lamps can also generate full spectrum light. Halogens may even generate some UVC radiation which can cause skin cancer, so they should be placed a couple of feet above the area they are being used on if living animals are present.
These full spectrum light lamps produces a "natural" light similar to that produced by the north sky at noon. Full spectrum fluorescent light bulbs can brighten your business like no other conventional fluorescent light bulb because they simulate the crisp, full color and ultraviolet full spectrum of natural outdoor light. Full spectrum fluorescent light bulbs can reduce maintenance and electrical costs, and increase your bottom line.
