If you struggle with sleep issues, the Drift light bulb is the natural solution. From Saffron, the energy efficient light bulb mimics the sun's setting patterns, which results in you getting a better night's sleep.

The high efficiency lighting gives off a more gentle light that is indistinguishable from incandescent bulbs. An aluminum heat sink prevents them from getting too hot, unlike traditional light sources. The patent pending control function allows the Drift Light bulb to automatically dim and can be easily set using your normal light switch. The Edison base fits standard fixtures as well, but only uses 7 watts of electricity.

Whether you use the Drift Light in a floor lamp to create ambiance or in the ceiling so you don't need to worry about turning it off when you go to sleep, the bulb is a healthy and eco friendly alternative.
