Full Spectrum Lighting

School Studies
John Ott, PhD, reported in 1973 in the International Journal of Biosocial Research that the Gocio School in Sarasota, Florida, documented “several extremely hyperactive children with confirmed learning disabilities calmed down completely and rapidly overcame their learning and reading problems while in the full spectrum lighted environment. The overall average academic achievement level showed significant improvement.”

The Department of Education of Alberta, Canada, conducted a two-year study involving four different kinds of light. Physicians, educators, social workers, nutritionists and dentists conducted the study. The null hypothesis stated that the type of light had no differential effects on students' scholastic achievement, growth and development, attendance, and dental histories.1

The study found that students under full spectrum light with trace ultraviolet:

	Learned faster
	Tested higher
	Grew faster
	Had 1/3 fewer absences due to illness
	Had 2/3rds fewer cavities than expected
