 Krypto- Bulbs Technology
Krypto- Bulbs afterglow bulbs combine a high-spectrum, scotopic-rich phosphor blend with a stronium aluminate(non-radioactive) after-glow phosphor blend in a discharge fluorescent tube. Krypto- Bulbs have been designed to maximize and compliment the eye's ability to see under low light conditions. The combination of this scotopic-rich phosphor blend and the afterglow phosphor blend compliment each other in many ways: visual acuity, scotopic eye response, high-spectrum color correctness, melatonin reduction, energy efficiency, and quicker emergency response time in low light levels. The Krypto- Bulbs afterglow phosphors are fully charged in just 15 minutes and partially charged immediately when turned on. The afterglow light output will continue for a period of time after power is cut off (approximately 1 hours of high intensity glow and up to 12 hours of lower glow). Even if the bulb is broken and the gas is released, the pieces on the floor will continue to emit light, maximizing this emergency lighting bulb to its greatest potential. The bulb, when charged, can be removed from the fixture and will continue to glow, and can be used as a portable emergency light source.
Emergency Eye Response
The rods of the eye require approximately sixty (60) minutes (or longer) to fully dark-adapt. The Krypto- Bulbs scotopic phosphor blend places the eye in a state of emergency readiness by engaging the stimulation of the rod receptors in the eye. The eye is then operating under higher scotopic light levels. The amount of dilation and rod receptor stimulation under this scotopic blend prepares the eye to respond to the lower light levels of the afterglow phosphor blend, which is primarily scotopic light and has a low light response curve of approximately 490nm when the lamp power is turned off. Therefore, human response time is critically reduced in an emergency.
Areas of Use
Employees and customers can be in many different places in a building when an emergency strikes. Offices, restrooms, basements, parking garages, hallways, elevators and storerooms are just a few examples. Battery powered backup lighting systems may work in these areas but are very costly. They need maintenance, and even then, they can still break down. In the event of an explosion, they can fail. Krypto- Bulbs are an added measure of safety and protection and can be economically justified in areas where costly battery backup emergency lighting cannot. With Krypto- Bulbs , you can always count on them to emit light. |
THE Krypto-Bulbs DIFFERENCE
The Krypto- Bulb blend was designed and developed by a team of lighting experts and led by one of the inventors of full spectrum lighting. Years of research, development and testing went into creating this blend of natural sunlight in a light bulb through proper color rendering, high spectrum color temperature and chromaticity. We are proud to take our Phosphor Glow technology and combine it into our Krypto- Bulb high spectrum light bulbs.
WHY FULL SPECTRUM LIGHT BULBS?
Full spectrum sunlight nourishes every living organism on Earth and has helped our planet evolve. Today, people are spending more time indoors and not getting enough sunlight from outside. To achieve natural balanced sunlight indoors, light bulbs need to contain a full spectrum of color as well as infrared and ultra violet wavelengths. These requirements are absent from regular cool white fluorescent light bulbs. Krypto- Bulbs can be customized to contain these essential ingredients to help you receive balanced sunlight. Along with healthy living, modern research has shown that correct natural light can significantly increase students' test scores, productivity among workers and increase sales in retail stores. |
