Light and Your Health Series Part 2: Light Bulbs. Light bulbs advertise that they save energy or promote sleep, but some light bulbs have significant side effects for your well being and do not perform as advertised. Find out which light bulbs will actually promote your well being, good energy, and a good night's sleep.

Please note that total light bulb brightness tests were done using a single light bulb per room or per room area in a large room. As a rule of thumb always keep total light bulbs to a minimum. Also, do not a dimmer switch to make dimmer light. Dimmer switches produce huge amounts of dirty electricity.
