Is this a full spectrum/ total spectrum light bulb? does it have radiation shiled?

As mentioned in my review, you can learn more about the bulb's spectral characteristics in Ottlite's pdf: http://www.ottlite.com/pdf/508_science.pdf I don't recall ever reading anything about a "radiation shield" on this bulb.

It is a LED with a color temperature of 5000k and CRI if 80. How close that is to "sunlight" is subject to your own opionions, not to mention what kind of conditions you are measuring "sunlight" in (sunlight color temperatures vary with time of day, overcast or not, etc). Clearly no lightbulb gives off true sunlight, or anything all that close to it, despite marketing terms being used to describe bulbs that try to be closer than average. (Some of the differences are good, would you really want a lightbulb that gives you sunburn?)

I do not know. I didn't keep the packaging and there's nothing listed on the bulb itself. However I seem to remember it was equivalent to a 60W incandescent but that could be the ramblings of a 60-year old memory that's not always reliable.

No. It uses some sort of special florescent bulbs available from the company. They are a special full spectrum, daylight bulb with a uv protecting coating.

Dear Thor, Thanks for your interest in our item. This item has Wattage: 10W/bulb (10W incandescent light bulb) Best regards, Astra Depot

I actually have this lamp, have had for a few months and two of us in the house use it. Did replace one bulb once, but were easy enough to find/buy and cheap enough. Haven't had any problems at all with the machine or replacements. All that I see on the bulbs is 9W. The ones I have replaced them with, I bought at my local Sallys store and they are just the standard ASP UV 9w replacement bulbs. No clue what I paid, but they came in a pkg. of 4.

Halogen and LED are new inventions. :) It's a traditional incandescent from what I can tell. The bulb gets pretty toasty when it is on full blast.

no specs on the LED bulbs, but if 365nM-370nM is what you are looking for, this maybe a great find for you. I cannot verify but the visible spectrum of light is a neutral dim white, leads me to believe its around 365nM. However, it doesnt seem to work for urine (human or animal) dry or wet.

Yes it is a daylight spectrum, and it's nice and bright although I don't know the exact specs. It is like the original that came with the lamp. I have it on now, and although the lamp is angled down and not near my computer, it is bright enough to light my entire bedroom without the need for another lamp without casting shadow

Hi Eric,To my understanding, it is. The definition I found and it's quite describing what my light bulb does is:"Full-spectrum" is not a technical term when applied to an electrical light bulb but rather a marketing term implying that the product emulates natural lightThanks for your question.

It's a 100 watt bulb, but remote has a dimmer and shows at what percentage bulb is running. I run mine at about 50% lite brightness . Hope this helps you Daniel .

If I recall correctly, instruction does indicate bulb is LED, but its been awhile since my install. The switch does not generate any heat and is actually cool to the touch, however, of the dozen, or so installed, several have failed, so no more red glow, but flickering. They have since been replaced and currently all are doing fine.

Adam, Hydrofarm's website has it listed as "full spectrum daylight" - 6400 Kelvin.....double check to be sure...mine was doa and they were out of them so I went with another bulb.

I am sorry I don't know the answer to your question, but it is working very well in our TV. It was sent by Exclusive bulbs so I am sure if you contacted them, they could answer your question.

There is no wavelength info on the box or unit itself. Its 10,000 LUX brightness is adequate for treatment of SAD, according to scientific literature. The wavelength is cooler than traditional incandescent bulbs.

Yes but it uses a specality bulb by Ott. I've uploaded a picture of the bulb if you look under customer images.

The lamp is not "full spectrum" as that would include the UV light, which with this unit is 99.3% filtered. The color temperature, lux level reaching the eye and the positioning of the lamp above the view plane are the more critical components based on expert guidelines. Before considering any bright light therapy product, consult with your physicain to ensure it is appropriate for your individual needs.
