Ever since we have been using electricity to power our homes and provide us with light, we have been on the look out for the better bulb. Incandescent or old-style filament bulbs use a lot of electricity and give out yellow light. They also have a tendency to go off faster, resulting in a recurring cost. Tube lights, though expensive initially, have lower running costs but give out a bright white light. The newer CFL’s, too, give out white light and are cheaper to run. LED lights are still to become affordable.

Then there is the eco-friendly biobulb. The biobulb looks something like a CFL light but it is not the same thing. It uses 75% less energy than a filament bulb and also gives a warm glow of light. It does not get hot like a bulb and also lasts for around seven years on an average.

Most importantly, the light from this bulb mimics sunlight. For people who are confined indoors for large parts of the day and sometimes never get to be in the sun at all this bulb is a boon. If you use Full Spectrum Daylight Bulbs, then it is almost as good as being in the sun. For people whose mood or body rhythms get affected by lack of sunlight, this bulb can alleviate their problems. They give out flicker free light.

Some people get adversely affected by Seasonal Affective Disorder (sad) when they miss sunlight, causing them to become depressed or anxious or moody. This biobulb can be of great help in relieving anxiety and other physical problems caused by lack of sunlight. So, apart from being environmentally friendly, reducing power consumption, and being easy on the wallet, this type of light actually promotes health benefits."
