What is Sunlight
What is Sunlight Spectrum
Sunlight normally means the light of sun, the best color in the earth. With the development of LED technology, more and more high quality LED light is created, CRI>90 is widely used now and CRI>97 is also available nowadays.
However, there is one thing that LED still far from the Sunlight Spectrum, the blue harm, we know that the LED is activated by a blue chip inside, that's makes the blue spectrum is strong.
For example:
3000K Ra90
4000K Ra90
6000K Ra90
The blue spectrum get stronger when color temperature goes up.
The sunlight spectrum is aim at solve the blue harm while remaining a good lighting quality.
Seoul Semiconductor is the first manufacturer who issued the light spectrum, they use the purple chip to activated while contentional LED using blue chip, so the 460nm spectrum is reduce a lot.

Sunlight 5000K by Seoul
There are two changes on blue spectrums:
1) Low 450nm
The 450nm spectrum bring hurts to people, especially for childern.
- Reduce Retinal Photoreceptor Cell Viability
- Demage RPE(Retinal Pigment Epithelium)
- ROS(Revitalizing Oxygen)
The #1 and #2 will lead to Vision Loss, visual imairment, night blindess and color blindness.
The #3 will lead to cell senescence, skin wrinkles, sagging, stains etc.
2) High 480nm
- Has no influence on the Retinal Photoreceptor Cell
- Improve circadian Rhythm
Other advantages
1) An excellent performance on lighting quality, Ra=97, Rg=101 under TM-30-15 testing.
2) True Saturated Color, a perfect performance on all color testing samples.
Disadvantage
Low lighting efficiency, 25% lower than conventional LED.
