What is light?
“The Light of the Holy Ghost is of only one species…The Light of Nature is of two species: the good one and the evil one.”
– Theophrastus Paracelsus ¹
Light is defined by its source, visible light is produced by only two sources: Incandescence and luminescence.
A backlight is the light medium by which symbolic information is conceived and conveyed in a screen.
For most of our history and prehistory, we mostly only seen incandescent light sources, because the light emitted by the stars, the celestial bodies, thunder and fire is of the incandescent nature. Rarely did we see luminescence but today we are surrounded by this type of light. Incandescent emission is the primordial method that the universe naturally emits the complete electromagnetic spectrum. This kind of light is emitted by the movement of low energy and frequency states to incrementally higher, when the temperature of a body is high enough, its thermal radiation spectrum becomes strong enough in the visible range to visibly glow, such as a metal filament that incrementally gains energy until it glows.
On the contrary, luminescent emission comes from the movement from high energy and frequency states to lower ones. This kind of light is produced in a totally different manner than incandescence, and while it has some advantages for some applications, it falls very short in others.
“And He created the jinn from a smokeless flame of fire.”
– Surah 55:15
Both incandescent and luminescent light sources can be natural or man-made, in nature luminescence is found in angler fish and fireflies, in electronics luminescent light is found in semiconducting LEDs (light emitting diodes), in this devices, photons are emitted when an electron falls into a hole, which then photo-reacts with phosphorous to produce its entire spectrum.
Electron holes can be thought of as “energy sucking” because photons are emitted when a captured electron fills a void, electron holes also have quantum tunneling capabilities.

“The medium is the message.”
– Marshall McLuhan
Luminescent semiconductor light does have useful and very indispensable applications and has bestowed us great technological capabilities, because it can transmit digital information through its light waves, something impossible for incandescent light to do because its inherent thermal inertia naturally prohibits this. However, as good as it is for servers and computers to digitally communicate with each other, its “synthetic” nature is second class for our biology, and prolonged exposure to this light provokes optic cell degeneration and causes photochemical reactions that can do permanent damage. ¹ ⁵ It also negatively interferes with the pineal gland, known for producing neurotransmitters and neuroprotector hormones such as melatonin, serotonin and pinoline. This gland is so intimately stimulated by light that is also known as “the third eye”.³ ⁴
“The eye is the lamp of the body, if your eye is good, your whole body will be full of light.”
– Jesus of Nazareth
Incandescence in the other hand does not rely on electron holes for photon emission and therefore does not have quantum tunneling capabilities. Incandescent emission is naturally rich in infrared frequencies, because this light is born from low frequencies. Something completely lacking in luminescent backlit monitors because its light is born from the high frequency end.
An infrared rich incandescent monitor alleviates and regenerates strained sight because the infrared spectrum has many beneficial effects on our biology, such as reducing inflammation, releasing endorphins, promoting the formation of new blood vessels, and cell regeneration through a process known as photobiomodulation. The cognitive improvements can be substantial such as decision-making, memory formation, attention span, and focus.
Spectra and gamut
“The question is not what you look at, but what you see.”
– Henry David Thoreau
Spectral readings from a luminescent backlit display vs an incandescent bulb backlit display in wavelength (nm).

The coloured triangle in the left represents the frequencies an ordinary luminescent monitor can display, the horseshoe area represents all the visible colours that we can see but that the backlight can’t emit, an incandescent backlight can emit all wavelengths visible to the eye, providing a 100% Color Rendering Index (CRI).

Inner workings
Incandescent pixels.
Old world tech.
Translucent like stained glass.
SpectrumView translucent incandescent monitors illuminate your pixels with benign light from behind, with a magnetically detachable electro-incandescent lightbox to choose natural sunlight when possible, made from the best quality materials and components, designed to last for a lifetime.
Works with any operating system, but please notethat it is recommended to switch your operating system from dark to light mode. The electro-incandescent lightbox can work with both 120V or 240V current at the flick of an inner switch without having to change all bulbs, which means you can use 120V bulbs in a 240V country. It uses 8-10 incandescent generic Edison standard base bulbs of 25w to 40w commonly used in ovens, many replacement bulbs are included. The lightbox is thermally protected by three low speed DC fans and genuine brass heatsinks. First grade panels, traditional bee-wax polished wood, heat resistant ceramic sockets, brass plate heatsinks and copper wiring. Detachable standing mounts ensure compact transportation, and to permanently suspend it in front of a window, genuine lac varnished handles yield a good tight grip.

Inner brass plates reflect golden light with high quality repairable components.
Quality like everything in life is either completely free or not cheap, so using only incandescent bulbs to backlight your monitor for the whole day will increase the electricity bill by around 5-10%, but if used during winter the radiated thermal energy will be subtracted from your heating needs, and so its electricity consumption will cancel out. However, it is recommended to get a daylight specific monitor in the same order for half the price if you live in a sunny location and have a window without much shadow casting elements, with either direct or indirect sunlight, to permanently place it there for sunlight backlight. Note that having a sunlight specific backlit monitor means you have to adapt to the luminous needs of the monitor and rearranging your space accordingly. Incandescent bulbs can have lifespans of up to 100 years if not used at 100% intensity and physically not move them much, the incandescent bulbs used for the lightbox are the same used for household appliances such as fridges and ovens and such are not banned, the lightbox can also be used as an excellent cured meat dehydrator when placed faced down when not in use.
