5 LIGHTS THAT PROTECT WORKER & PATIENT HEALTH FROM TOXIC OFFICE LIGHTS

Here's a quick post on how the typical LED and fluorescent lights in offices, ESPECIALLY DOCTORS OFFICES, are bad for patient health and the healthiest lights to replace them with. This article has been updated for 2026.

PLEASE FORWARD THIS ARTICLE TO YOUR BOSS OR DOCTOR NOW.

In this post I'm talking mostly about lights for the office during the DAY! If you want healthy lights for the office during the night, check out my top 6 circadian night light review here.

What you have to understand is that light contains operating instructions for your brain and body. Typical office LEDs and fluorescents are loaded with blue and green light spikes and flicker that are found nowhere in Nature. These are basically alien signals to your brain which leads to alien operating instructions for your body.  In offices this leads to fatigue, poor focus, headaches, skin issues, circadian rhythm disruption and for patients it can slow healing and worsen health outcomes. The government mandated energy efficient LEDs and CFLs are usually the worst offenders.

To solve this problem that is hurting your workers or patients health, you as the boss and person in charge need to replace those toxic lights with healthier lights that provide signals or spectrums closer to natural sunlight during the day.

Here are my top recommendations in no particular order.

INCANDESCENT AND HALOGEN BULBS: These are the classic analog lights with a continuous full spectrum and lots of near infrared that your dumb government decided to ban. No sharp blue or green spikes like modern LEDs and low flicker. For daytime at the office, the brighter ones for daytime office use are the best if you can still find them. For daytime use get the higher wattage bulbs. Use them in desk lamps or fixtures wherever possible for better mood, less eye strain and real cellular/mitochondrial support.

THE CHROMA SKY PORTAL: This is a giant "desk lamp" built specifically for workspaces and offices. The daytime white setting on the light has boosted violet and cyan spectrums for proper circadian rhythm and opsin stimulation and focus while lowering the harmful blue light hazard range around 450nm. For the daytime mode the Sky Portal also adds in the near infrared spectrum that your mitochondria love which is rare for an LED based bulb. The bonus with this light is that it also has a nighttime mode also with deep amber, red and infrared spectrums. Completely flicker free. Perfect for sitting at a desk all day next to screens. Get multiple sky portals for your office. IF your office will not change out their lights, you can get the "Sky Portal mini" for your desk to make the surrounding light healthier.  You can get a discount on this light with the code "bluelightdiet" and an even bigger discount when you order them in bulk at this special link: http://www.bluelightdetox.com/chroma

RA OPTICS LUMIOS GLOW OR SKY BULB: The Lumios Glow is a fantastic new LED bulb with multiple modes from daylight to nighttime candle that are activated by simply flipping the switch. This LED is near infrared enriched and flicker free. The Lumios Sky has an energizing sky mode designed for daytime performance and productivity with selective circadian enhancing blue without the harmful shorter blue light toxic wavelengths. These look like regular LED bulbs and are good for office fixtures and lamps. Use code "bluelightdiet" for a discount and get them here: http://www.bluelightdetox.com/ra

CHROMALUX FULL SPECTRUM INCANDESCENT BULBS: These incans use a special neodymium glass that makes colors more vivid and reduces glare and visual fatigue that sometimes happens with bright lights. You can get them in incandescent or halogen (halogen is a bit brighter) and they also give you near infrared and a smooth, unspiked spectrum. Historically inspired by lights doctors used for examining patients. They make many different sizes and shapes but get the 100 watt version for your day time office. You can get these light bulbs here: www.bluelightdetox.com/chromalux

HEALTHY HOME CIRCADIAN LIGHT: These LED screw in bulbs let you cycle through daylight, sunset and campfire modes just by flipping the light switch. Daylight for daytime energy, sunset for late afternoon transition and campfire for zero blue light later. Low flicker. While they do not have the added infrared like incandescents or the Chroma and RA options, they are still way better than your typical LED or CFL office lights and this company has different lighting options than just bulbs, they also have slim panel and recessed lighting options! Excellent for replacing multiple fixtures around the office or clinic so the light environment matches the time of day. Check them out here: http://www.bluelightdetox.com/recessed
