What is light
“The Light of the Holy Spirit is of only one specie, that of the untarnished wisdom, but that which comes from the Light of Nature is of two species: The good one and the evil one.”
– Paracelsus (1493-1541)
Light defines the source, and the source defines light. Light has been a source of insight and wonder since antiquity, it is one of the most interesting phenomena in the universe, with ample degrees of understanding both physically and metaphorically.
Light can be both a wave and a particle.
Visibly speaking, light is the electromagnetic spectrum that ranges from the infrared to the ultraviolet, light can transmit both energy and information, and can behave as a wave and a particle. Its properties are defined by the source, there are only two sources of visible light; incandescence and luminescence, which can be either naturally or artificially made.
Since the dawn of mankind we have mostly seen incandescent light sources, because the light from the stars, the celestial bodies, thunder and fire is of the incandescent nature. On the other hand luminescent light is a kind of light we very rarely saw because it occurs very rarely in nature, found in phenomena like fireflies and deep sea creatures, but today we are surrounded by electro-luminescent light sources from semiconductors which illuminate most digital screens.
The light from the stars and the celestial bodies is of the incandescent nature.
Incandescence is the primordial kind of light in the universe, produced by increasing frequency and energy states and by classical processes, such as when a metal filament is heated until it glows, producing a complete light spectrum across a continuous wide range of frequencies. Luminescence on the other hand is produced by decreasing frequency and energy states, and by quantum-dynamics proceses.
In rare phenomena is luminescent light naturally found.
Today we are surrounded by semiconductor luminescent light sources, whose light can also have quantum tunneling capabilities.
The arrival of electric light in the 19th century was in the form of the electro-incandescent bulb, which was a continuation of the same kind of light we have adapted to for millions of years. The real change in lightning came by the arrival of electro-luminescent light, such as compact fluorescent lamps (CFL) and light emitting diodes (LED). An analogy of this change would be akin to using fire to cook and then using electric coils, which in both cases energy is being transmitted from the outside to the inside, the direction is the same, to then using microwave ovens to cook, which transmits energy from the opposite direction, from the inside out, the only difference between the two methods is the energy direction, which is the same as incandescence and luminescence light producing mechanisms.
“The eye sees the present and the future.”
– Salvador Dali
Light and time are also intimately interwoven, and quantum mechanics related processes have the capability to be time-symmetric, meaning that the direction of time is not necessarily one-way such as in classical mechanics, which are strictly from past to future. In quantum mechanics retro-causality is a possibility, in which a future event can influence the events that precede it, so the present evolves in such a way that it is attracted to a certain outcome determined by a future quantum condition.
“The medium is the message.”
– Marshall McLuhan
Electro-luminescent light has many indispensable applications and properties, like energy saving features and digital information transmission through binary light pulse sequence strings. However, routine exposure to luminescent light from screens damage the sight and can provoke optic cell degeneration through photochemical reactions,¹ leading ocular damage, ² and negatively interfering our pineal gland,³ which produces neuro-transmitting and neuro-protecting, anti-oxidant hormones such as melatonin, serotonin and pinoline.
“Penetrating red light is possibly the fundamental anti-stress factor for all organisms.”
– Ray Peat
A digital screen is the interface between the digital realm and our biology, the backlight is the light medium by which digital information is conceived and conveyed, and so healthy analog incandescent backlight is of utmost importance. SpectrumView monitors are naturally rich in infrared frequencies with a continuos full-spectrum backlight, alleviating and regenerating optic cells through photo-biomodulation, reducing ocular tissue inflammation, promoting the formation of new blood vessels, improving blood circulation to the brain, enhancing cognition, focus and memory formation. ⁴

The new electro-incandescent lightbox models now feature brass heatsinks for better thermal dissipation and quieter operation.
The light bulbs used are the same size and watts approved for household appliances such as ovens and the lightbox can work with both 120V or 240V at the flick of an inner switch without having to change all bulbs, and its recommended to switch your operating system from dark to light mode for best results. It uses 8-10 incandescent generic base Edison standard bulbs commonly used for ovens, with many replacement bulbs included. Thermally protected by low speed DC fans with genuine brass polished reflectors. Top quality liquid crystal display panels proven over time, bee-wax polished wood, ceramic sockets, and copper wiring. Strong copper mounts provide unmatched stability, and detachable for a compact transportation or to permanently hang it in front of a sunny window, genuine insect lac varnished handles yield a good tight grip.

Using only incandescent bulbs to backlight your monitor for the whole day will increase your electricity usage, if used during winter the thermal energy will be subtracted from your heating, and if day-backlit during the summer the electricity usage will be minimal. However, it is recommended to get a solar specific monitor in the same order at half price if you have a sunny window without a mosquito net and with either direct or indirect sunlight. However having a solar backlit monitor means you need to adapt to the light needs of the monitor, therefore rearranging your space will be necessary, placing curtains or palm mat around the perimeter of the monitor 3 feet around is also needed.
The SpectrumView electro-incandescent lightbox can also be used as an excellent cured meat or fruit dehydrator when placed faced down and not in use, the infrared frequencies can be precisely controlled, with little interior heat due to a sophisticated circulating airflow design.
Incandescent light bulbs are very sustainable because they are made of just two earth-abundant materials, glass and metal, making it the most ecological electrical light lamp to produce and to be disposed, no rare-earths or plastic is used, and can have lifespans of up to 100 years when properly made. Incandescence is the future for digital backlight because it makes screens a healthy wholesome digital interface, something indispensable in our age to transform our digital communications positively. Ongoing research in the edge of the new frontiers of nanophotonic incandescent bulbs and thermophotovoltaics fields will make possible incandescent backlight smartphones a reality in the not so distant future…
