What is Light?
“That which comes from the Light of the Holy Ghost is of only one species…but that which comes from the Light of Nature is of two species.”
– Theophrastus Paracelsus †
Light has many layers of understanding and interpretation physically and metaphysically, visibly speaking we can only see the source of light and its reflection, yet light is the only thing we see in a monitor, everything else is symbol. Not all light is the created equal, ¹ at the photon genesis, visible light can only be made by two ways, by incandescence or luminescence.
Incandescent photons are produced through increasing entropy states by classical mechanics.
Luminescent photons are produced through decreasing entropy states by quantum mechanics.
These two fundamental mechanisms to produce photons will determine its properties and inherent characteristics, regardless of how similar these two appear to be in color temperature. Understanding this is indispensable to develop appropriate technology, because both kinds of light serve unique applications that fulfill different purposes. ²
Natural incandescence comes from the celestial bodies.
Artificial incandescence comes from fire and incandescent bulbs.
Natural luminescence comes from some creatures like fireflies, angler fish, and also from atmospheric phenomena like auroras and will-o’-the-wisps.
Artificial luminescence comes from light emitting semiconductors and compact fluorescent tubes.
Artificial incandescent light sources like fire, have been a great friend to mankind since the dawn of time, because it has enabled us to live in places and eat foods we could not before. The arrival of the electric incandescent bulb in the 19th century revolutionized our way of life, but it was still a continuation of the same type of light source. However, the arrival of the electric luminescent bulb was a kind of light we have rarely seen before, yet today we seem to be surrounded by it, especially by digital screens, the interface for our modern day indispensable tool, the computer.
“Without going out of your door, you can know the ways of Heaven.“
– The Tao
Incandescent and luminescent light creation are diametrically inverted a very interesting aspect about light, because its also present in other ways, like its wave-particle duality. A good analogy between incandescent and luminescent light would be like the heat produced from an a classical electric oven, to a microwave oven – both produce heat, but the classical oven heats the food in a classical manner from the outside to the inside, while the magnetron in the microwave does it in an inverse method, from the inside to the outside. Both mechanisms produce heat, just as both photon mechanisms produce light, but the means to achieve is different, and here resides the heart of the matter.

Incandescent and luminescent light sources have their own special uses and excel in certain areas, for example incandescence is the undisputed king for high fidelity and faithful chromatic illumination, thanks to its broadband continuous spectrum and high-photonic entropy, something luminescent light sources fall very short, because its inherently a superposition of a handful of frequencies, that may appear white to the sight, but in reality have real spectral voids where there is literally no light. However luminescent light sources and especially from semiconductors are the unrivaled for digital information transmission, thanks to its low‑photonic entropy nature, making it the ideal light medium for digital information transmission, something indispensable for our fiber-optic internet communications technology infrastructure.

What is Entropy?
Entropy of light = novelty in its photons.
Entropy is the mother of novelty, its the amount and range of unexpected microstates and spread of energy and matter in a system or phenomena. Incandescent light is inherently high-entropy, on the other hand luminescent light is inherently low-entropy. Both types of light are very useful and have their specific properties to provide for different technological, artistic and religious purposes, understanding this is indispensable to develop better analog to digital computer interfaces.
Low-entropy light like the one emitted from a semiconductor, photons are in a similar phase, go in a similar direction, and have a very narrow frequency band, or even just one frequency in the case of lasers. It has minimal variations in its microstates, it’s highly “ordered” and therefore super predictable.
In the other hand, incandescent photons high entropy and therefore are randomly phased, go in all directions, and are spreaded across a wide spectrum band, with maximum variations in its microstates, its called “disordered” because its unpredictable.
Entropy is the real measure of novelty in the universe.
“Information without entropy is death.”
– Claude Shannon
Entropy is novelty, entropy is not disorder as commonly believed, because order is subjective, but novelty is not, as one man’s disorder can be another man’s order. For example an agricultural field growing a single type of plant may appear very ordered to us, but its a disorder to the indigenous biodiversity that was already growing there. And what appears to be a disordered wild field to us, can be very ordered to the native biodiversity that grows there.
Novelty is not subjective, but order is, because high entropy can sometimes appear ordered, and low entropy disordered, for example a house that is inhabited has higher degrees of entropy and novelty than an abandoned one, because there are many new, unexpected events and states happening constantly, it has many unpredictable and possible microstates and looks ordered. But an abandoned house has lower entropy and novelty because there are much fewer unexpected events and microstates happening, and looks disordered, gradually over time as the house degrades from natural processes, it further decreases in entropy and becomes more predictable, the system becomes more static.
Incandescent light has some of the highest entropy in the universe.
Semiconductor luminescent light has some of the lowest entropy in the universe.
Ordinary luminescent monitor backlight is produced by a blue light semiconductor emitter coated with phosphorus.
SpectrumView state-of-the-art computer monitors make possible a form of analog time dilation from the massive amounts of high-entropy light experienced per second.
Analog signals behave like eddies of complexity, while digital signals are synthesized into on/off bits, both have their own unique applications.
Frontier computing models experience a form of digital time dilation from what can be transmitted per second by this low-entropy light medium.
Photomodulation
“Penetrating red light is possibly the fundamental anti-stress factor for all organisms.”
– Ray Peat
Semiconductors are genuine marvel of our age, and provide indispensable and very useful technological applications to our modern ways of living, their low cost and ability to transmit digital information is worthy of praise and its ability to be transformed into solar cells is even more worthy of reverence, however when it comes to producing light for our prolonged and routine use such as in a computer monitor, its “synthetic” nature is second class to our analog biology, because it can harm the sight and can provoke cell degeneration through photo-chemical reactions,¹ causing ocular damage. ² Also inhibiting the pineal gland, ³ a light sensitive gland that produces neuro-protecting hormones such as melatonin, serotonin, and pinoline. ⁴
However invisible infrared light which is abundant in incandescent light sources is low frequency light, and regenerates tissue and optic cells, reducing ocular inflammation, alleviating photo sensitiveness, improving blood circulation to the brain, enhancing cognitive function, focus and memory formation, through photo-biomodulation. ⁵ SpectrumView incandescent monitors are naturally rich in broadband infrared light frequencies, something completely lacking in ordinary luminescent monitors.
The Spectrum
“The question is not what you look at, but what you see.”
– Henry David Thoreau
A spectrum is the “rainbow” emitted by any light source, terrestrial or celestial.

Copper wiring and strong copper mounts, detachable for transportation or to suspend in front of a window for natural day backlight. The incandescent light bulbs are standard Edison base, size and wattage for household appliances such as ovens, and are not banned since they are not used for general space illumination. The lightbox is also the ideal cured meat and fruit dehydrator when placed faced down, with a soft continuously circulating airflow and precise infrared radiation control without heat.
“Therefore by their fruits you shall know them.”
– Matthew 7:20
The lightbox can also be used as an excellent cured meats and fruit dehydrator when placed faced down.
Lightbox can be enamel painted with traditional flower patterns by request.
Sustainably hand-made with hand-tools.
Everything works with either 120V or 240V at the flick of an inner switch without having to change all bulbs, which means you can use 120V bulbs in a 240V country, twice as many replacement bulbs are included, which should last for many years if well treated. Using only incandescent bulbs at full intensity for the whole day will increase your electric bill, but if used during winter the proportional thermal energy radiated will be subtracted from your heating bill, so cost will cancel out, and if natural lit during the summer, the electricity usage will stay the same as well. Frontier research in nanophotonics and thermophotovoltaics will make incandescent backlights widely available for mobile screens and monitors in the future, for your only hope for a future.
