Nikken has taken another big step forward in bringing our natural environment that we need to stay truly healthy indoors where we spend most of our time. The KenkoLight is a full-spectrum light source, effectively bringing sunlight inside so that we can benefit from it while we are trapped indoors. There has been a lot of research that shows the benefits of natural sunlight, and the KenkoLight is a great way to receive those benefits when you can actually get outside.
Check out the testimonials for the KenkoLight.
Why Do We Need Sunlight?
Back in the day, we used to spend a lot more time outside. We were exposed to the earth’s magnetic field, fresh air, far-infrared energy from the sun, and natural sunlight. We don’t get that very often anymore.
From The Effect of Sunlight and Full-Spectrum Light on Health, Wellness & Performance (and page 2) by Dr. Jacob Liberman
…when we experimentally place plants, animals, or humans in a darkened environment and notice that their life force gradually diminishes…
When the same experiment is repeated using artificial lighting, such as cool-white fluorescent tubes, the natural growth pattern of both plants and animals is significantly affected, reducing lifespan, and at times manifesting as physical abnormality. In humans, there is a decrease in attention, learning ability, performance, and productivity, an increase in stress, irritability, errors, and fatigue, and a major increase in cavities. However, when children are placed in classrooms that incorporate natural daylight, learning ability, test scores, and productivity significantly improve. Natural daylight in retail locations boosts sales by 40%.
Why Get a KenkoLight?
You can read about all of the health benefits of the KenkoLight in the document that I referred to above. I’m fortunate enough to live where there is plenty of sun. I also get to work from home and have my desk next to a window where I get plenty of morning sunlight. I don’t need it for the health benefits, so why would I want to get a KenkoLight?
Because I can see so much better with it when the sun isn’t shining. It lights up my desk in the morning and night with a white light that is easy on the eyes and makes everything clear. I haven’t found any other light that can do that. It would work great for anyone stuck in an office without natural sunlight. It is not hard on the eyes like incandescent or fluorescent lights.
My wife used my lamp once while working on a craft project and she was hooked. I have to get her one now. I think it would work equally well for any artist, interior decorator, or person who enjoys crafts – anyone who needs to be able to see how different colors need to go together and look good.

Check out the KenkoLight brochure. There is a nice set of charts on page 3 that shows the wavelengths (colors) present in sunlight, an incandescent bulb, and in the KenkoLight.
