Sunlight-Mimicking Lightbulbs

The Silk LED Lightbulb Accurately Mimics Natural Sunlight

The Silk lightbulb is bulb, developed by a start-up called Saffron, that can sync your internal clock to the sun's natural shifting color spectrum, meaning it can give you the optimal kind of light to enrich your day and optimize your performance and sleep patterns.

The LED bulb is programmable and emits light that is tailored the user's internal circadian rhythms -- their physical, mental and behavioral changes in response to light and darkness.

Considering that modern life necessitates exposure to artificial lights and digital screens, it's unsurprising that many people have very poor sleep patterns nowadays. The Silk lightbulb can ensure that such people can maximize their sleep as well as waking performance whilst negotiating the modern, digitally immersed life.
