Information and
Pricing
At Crossover Technologies, we appreciate the opportunity to
lighten-up your life and offer a product that will enhance your well-being.
Although our mainstay and initial area of focus is computer
sales, service and networking, we have always been interested in improving the
quality of the work environment, including conventional
offices and SOHO's. Full
Spectrum Lighting offers Crossover Technologies the opportunity to help our
clients improve their lighting environment.
No life can exist without the presence of natural sunshine.
Each spring we feel the joy and energy that longer sun-filled days bring. All
of nature wakes up to the added benefit of more and more natural light.
Exposure to Full-spectrum light will increase calcium
absorption over that of standard florescent or incandescent light.
Solar radiation activates other important biochemical events
in our bodies involved in endocrine control, timing of our biological clocks,
entrainment of 24-hour circadian rhythms, immunologic responsiveness, sexual
growth and development, regulation of stress and fatigue, control of viral and
cold infections, and dampening of functional disorders of the nervous system.
It is estimated that over 38 million north Americans feel the effects
of malillumination, causing poor work conditions which can result in less
energy and productiveness .

How Light Therapy is Used
 | Full Spectrum Light
Therapy exposes the user to intense light using a system consisting of
full-spectrum bulbs installed in a box with a plastic diffusing screen.
|
 | The box should be set on a
table or desktop which would allow the user to sit close to the box. It is
not necessary or recommended that the user look directly into the light,
simply carry on normal activities such as computer
work, writing, reading or eating, with orientation of the head and body
toward the light. |
 | The Light Therapy session
can last from 15 minutes to 2 hours, depending on the user's requirements.
Duration of the sessions may need to be adjusted to achieve the best effect.
|
 | Marked improvement is
usually observed within 4 to 5 days, if not sooner, and symptoms often
return in about the same amount of time when the lights are withdrawn.
|

Other Uses of Full Spectrum Lighting
 |
Certain seasonal problems focused on winter can occur
without depressed mood, such as increased appetite with overeating and
weight gain, oversleeping, daytime fatigue and worsening of premenstrual
symptoms, as reported by the Society for Light Therapy.
Light Therapy has been successful in such cases, although additional
research is still necessary. Applications for certain non-seasonal problems
also appear promising. Some include the treatment of delayed sleep phase
disorder, jet-lag adjustments, bulimia nervosa and premenstrual syndrome.
