Bottled Sunshine Lamp, self-adjusting light temperature

Bottled Sunshine by Sunlight Inside

Staying indoors too long can and will affect you adversely. The Bottled Sunshine lamps can automatically adjust the light temperature depending on the time of the day.

Sunlight is essential for Vitamin D but also for your mental health. During the winter months the days are shorter and it’s not always possible to get outdoors regularly. Fluorescent lighting can give you fatigue and even keep you up at night.

Sunlight Inside LED Lamps are able to project different temperature light automatically according to your geographic location. These pre-programmed light spectrum settings change for Noon, Afternoon, Sunset, Evening, Night to project different optimal lighting temperatures to synthetically reproduce the natural light of that time of day, inside. Absolutely one of the best light therapy lights around. Great for the bedroom and even more so for rooms that don’t see the light of day. Bring the sunlight inside.

“Sunlight Inside supports our energy, mood, metabolism, sleep and general wellness!”
