Ascending Butterfly's All Treats No Tricks Countdown to Halloween Giveaway Sponsored By:

Are you a student, or mom to a student and would like to help maximize study time? Studying smarter, not harder is always the best way to go, who knew that something as simple as the right lighting can improve reading and math achievement scores?

SmartLight™ The Lamp for Learning

About the SmartLight™

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ - Maximize Study Time - Helps user to read faster with greater comprehension.

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ -  Reduce Eyestrain & Fatigue - Study longer without glare, eyestrain and fatigue.

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ - Increase Focus & Retention - Improve productivity, focus and concentration.

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ - Light Enhanced Learning: School Tested, Student Proven - A study of full spectrum lighting in schools reported that students perform better, have higher rates of achievement and have less stress and improved attendance.

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ - Visual Acuity - Use of Verilux Natural Spectrum lighting, in a school setting, increased visual acuity (clarity and sharpness of letters) for over 88% of the study participants. Students in daylit schools had higher reading and math achievement scores.

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ - Flexible Gooseneck - Place illumination precisely where needed.

 My Take:

I've been using the SmartLight Lamp to do my reading so I can bring back the Ascending Butterfly Monthly Book Club and I can say that the lamp provides powerful illumination and does help with visual acuity.

I also find it's perfect for when I'm using my laptop in a dimly lit space, and for those of you in office spaces with poor lighting, if your office won't purchase one for you, you should definitely consider purchasing one of these for yourself. (Aim it at your poor cubicle plant when you go to lunch, if it had lips, it would thank you!)

I really like the Verilux Smart Light and only wish I'd 'discovered' it sooner, I would have loved this when I was still a student. I'm guilty of putting off the overhead light at night when I'm on my computer writing. I find I get my best writing done at night, but I was terribly straining my eyes doing so, and I have found way less eyestrain and eye fatique using my SmartLight! Who knew light could be so smart? Or make me more smart? This lamp will come in handy whether you are an avid reader, a crafter, a couponer, a quilter, and needless to say a student.

You didn't think I'd forget about you right? Who loves you butterfly?
