Is this a full-spectrum lamp? It says it has a "naturalistic light" but I can't see anything describing this as full-spectrum or not.

It's color temp is 2700 to 6500. It works ok as desk or reading lamp. For general therapeutic effect, I prefer nature bright sun touch plus. I have both

It is a 5000K bulb, no? While it is not labeled "Daylight," Daylight lamps are often ~5000K, sometimes higher, the higher the more like daylight. I myself consider it to be a "Daylight" bulb, and I use it as a GroLight for my houseplants and seedlings. They love it, and they are the ones with the final vote: they say, "Aye."

I do not know if the lamp is working. I assume it is. It does get quite hot when you are using it. The lamp does have a bluish tinge. I've been trying not to look at the light though because it's supposed to be bad to do so. I wish I could test the lamp on some bacteria/virus on agar cultures. Sorry I couldn't be more help.

no, it's just a light to simulate sunlight. Also, as far as the poor reviews on this lamp, I really like mine. They had an earlier model that wasn't as good, and broke after I had it for three years. This newer design is much better.

Hello Chris, yes it is a color changing lamp.I am very happy with how it looks and performs.

Thanks y'all! I bought trial versions of the 60W-equiv. (soft white) and the 100W-equiv. ('daylight') -- and LOVE them! In fact, I'm thinking I won't be able to use four daylight 100W in my standing lamp -- that would make the (two-story, great room) living room look like a hospital operating theater!!(Oh, and John? Other descriptions say those (other?) bulbs use the "Cree LED Filament Tower Technology" to make the light be 'thrown around' like an incandescent, rather than focused like a spotlight. This 'ad' doesn't include that info -- so I didn't know if CREE used to make one without the 'circle of light.' Hence my question.) Thanks y'all! I bought trial versions of the 60W-equiv.

This lamp provides very focused, bright, very white light. If you prefer a bright yellow then don't buy this lamp. It purely comes down to personal preference. I would recommend this lamp but in a room filled with natural light versus a dark room. Hope this helps.

The lamp is not "full spectrum" as that would include the UV light, which with this unit is 99.3% filtered. The color temperature, lux level reaching the eye and the positioning of the lamp above the view plane are the more critical components based on expert guidelines. Before considering any bright light therapy product, consult with your physicain to ensure it is appropriate for your individual needs.

I don't remember the actual specifications, but it does look quite natural, so it is quite likely full spectrum.

I have only used the brightest setting. Of course, you should not look directly at it. (Really you can't, or not for more than a second.) If you are using this lamp for SAD, I can't imagine why you wouldn't want it as bright as possible, unless you suddenly have more energy than you know what to do with! :)

I don't know. I like it. It is good and bright. I do not want to take it apart to look at a lamp I may not be able to identify in any event.

Sadly, it isn't. I still consider it a very pretty lamp, tho. Just a suggestion, if you want to feel cozy using this lamp, I recommend that you use a 40W Equilavelnt LED Globe bulb. They are bright enough and this one's quality is really a thumbs up (Pack of 4) G25 LED Bulb 6W, Warm white, 3000K, 40W Globe Bulb Incandescent Replacement, clear Cover, Dimmable, UL Listed, Energy star certified,

Only "Amazon Customer" seems to have the real, full spectrum, original manufacturer, the hypenated Ott-Lite.manufacturers that use the OTT Lite name are all over the ''Chinese imitations Unld. knockoff market." I love how reviewer Shelby Morris just threw her/his lamp out..too much trouble to get the true full spectrum lite..I prefer the best, the Ott-Lite helped me with SAD and provides lighting even better than our old standard, incandescent. Just one opinion, quality can make you feel better, not smug, just plain better.Mine is over 30 years old.. Goodwill wont be getting it.

I am not sure what you mean by "full spectrum". The bulb is 6500 degrees Kelvin which classifies it as "overcast daylight". It is a very bright white light though some color charts say that it is a "bluish" white. It does din over time but I did not really notice it until I replaced it with a new bulb. I have 5 lights with these bulbs which are used as desk or reading lights. The older I get the more light I need. I hope that helps.

There are two settings: 8000 and 12000 lux. Also, the light emitted is not white; it is blue-green.

No it's not a touch lamp. I've had both types of lamps and prefer not the touch ones as the touch sensor gets weak very quickly.
