• What is a  daylight™ bulb?

A bulb that simulates natural daylight, which allows you to view detailed work and colors clearly.

• What are the main advantages of daylight™ simulation lighting?

Perfect color matching.    They allow you to see colors in their true light, i.e. as if they were viewed under natural daylight. This includes threads, cottons, paints, paper, fabric, ink etc.

Reduced eye strain.    Natural daylight is the healthiest light source for the eyes, therefore a daylight bulb is more relaxing to the eyes because it simulates the light outdoors.

Reduced glare.    The soft white light eliminates any reflective glare off work.

Healthier vision.    Tests show that daylight bulbs are kinder to the eyes than artificial light, this means work can be enjoyed for longer and there is less reason to worry about affecting your eyesight.

• How has daylight™ become an expert in designing these specialty lamps and magnifiers?

The designs themselves have evolved through listening to the needs of people who actually use the products - crafters and needle workers themselves. The research and feedback system has allowed daylight™ to be original in their designs, which really addresses the needs of users and ensures that daylight™ creates the right products for them.

• Which daylight™ lamp is the best for needlework or other detailed crafts?

All of the daylight™ products are created with close-up, detailed work uses as the backbone of their design.
