Actulite polarised natural light
system increases contrast by around 8%, resulting in
an increase in Visual Perception of around 120%.
Due to the increase in Visual Perception, average ambient
lighting levels that would normally be designed to circa
500lux in conventional lighting need only to be designed
to circa 350 lux when the Actulite system is used. |

| Actulite produces a quality of light virtually
identical to that of natural daylight. This is achieved from
the combined use of our Actulite patented multi-layered light
polarising panels, high frequency control gear, and specially
manufactured triphosphor 6000k full spectrum fluorescent tubes.
Actulite creates an even spread of glare free equivalent natural
light, with perfect colour rendition, across the whole working
plane
Standard GLS and fluorescent lighting peaks extremely
at yellow, with the rest of the colour frequencies being
scarcely and unevenly represented. The eye is particularly
sensitive to yellow. Yellow however is only usable by
one third of the rods and cones of the eyes. Therefore
it follows that visual work involved when using conventional
fluorescent lighting is being done by only one third
of the eye.
This causes the eyestrain, visual tension, headaches
and general malaise with which most of us are familiar.

natural lighting system:

| Fact: most other "daylight
lighting" companies use filters to achieve their "white"
light - and this cuts down on how much light is projected: we
use our own unique polarising medium.
