What is Light?
“That which comes from the Light of the Holy Ghost is of only one species…but that which comes from the Light of Nature is of two species…”
– Theophrastus Paracelsus (1493-1541)
Although the nature of light is apparent to our eyes, it is also so mysterious that no complete description has been given, because few things are as obscure as the essence of light. Visibly speaking, light itself is invisible, because only the source and its reflection can be seen, and there are only two fundamental methods of producing light, incandescence and luminescence. Incandescence is the emission of light from a thermal state of an element via classical mechanics, also called “hot light”, and luminescence, the emission of light from a non-thermal states through quantum mechanics, or “cold light”. ¹
Natural incandescence comes from the Sun and the celestial bodies
Artificial incandescence comes from fire.
Artificial incandescence also comes from incandescent vacuum bulbs.
Natural luminescence comes from some nocturnal creatures like firefly and will-o’-the-wisp.
Natural luminescence also comes from atmospheric phenomena like polar lights.
Artificial luminescence comes from light emitting semiconductors and fluorescent bulbs.
In incandescence, as the energy in emitter critical density is reached, entropy will reach higher entropy levels, in luminescence to nearly zero entropy. Entropy is the variations in their photonic properties, such as phase, frequency, polarization, and direction, higher entropy has wider variations and randomness, lower entropy had narrower variations and is more predictability, both types of light provide very useful distinct applications.
Light can also behave as a wave or a particle.
Incandescence produces a continuous broadband spectrum and luminescence an unconnected narrowband spectrum, incandescence is a light that naturally seeks the state of maximum entropy, on the other hand luminescence naturally seeks the state of minimum entropy. These two mechanisms to produce light are direct opposites and have their unique properties and uses. An analogy of these two mechanism to produce light, would be like how a classical fire and a microwave oven produce heat, one heats in a classical manner, from the outside to the inside, while the microwave heats in an inverse way, from the inside to the outside. In the end both produce the similar end, but the means to do it is the heart of the matter.
“Light is the principal person in a painting.”
– Eduard Manet
“The Glory of Saint Augustine.”
Philippe de Champaigne, 1645.
Incandescent light is born from the increase of kinetic entropy in an element through classical mechanics.
“The Alchemist Discovering Phosphorus.”
Joseph Wright of Derby, 1771.
Luminescent light is born from a drop in entropy of an electron through quantum mechanics.
The arrival of electricity revolutionized our life, but the first electric light source was still a continuation of the same kind of light we had been seeing since the dawn of man. It was the arrival of electro-luminescent light emitter that marked the real change in our lighting, and today we are surrounded by it, especially from computer screens, the interface that mediates information through light in our modern day indispensable tool, the computer. ²
“The sage travels all day over the land and sea,
but does not lose sight of Infinity.”
– The Tao Verse 26
Total photon output is measured in lux, not lumens, and incandescence is paradoxically the most efficient way to produce light in the universe, producing more lux per input energy than luminescence. In other words, to make the complete light spectrum it will take less energy to produce it via incandescence than luminescence. Incandescence is the unrivaled queen for high spectral fidelity and color rendering, because it is a continuous high photonic entropy broadband spectrum, luminescence in the other hand is a light that may appear white to the eye, but because in reality it is made of a handful of frequencies, that have real spectral voids, where there is literally no light present. On the pother hand, luminescence is the unrivaled queen for digital information transmission, and selective or lighting, thanks to its low entropy and narrowband spectrum and the ability to be switched on and off very fast makes it indispensable for modern technology, something incandescence can’t because of its inherent thermal inertia.
Photomodulation
“Penetrating red light is possibly the fundamental anti-stress factor for all organisms.”
– Ray Peat
Photomodulation is the ability for the tissue to regenerate via low frequency infrared light, reducing ocular inflammation, alleviating photosensitivity, improving blood circulation and cognitive performance. Infrared light penetrates a considerable depth in the body beyond the skin, very different from high frequency light which reflects back. SpectrumView monitors emit a lot of low frequency infrared light thanks to its incandescent nature. Infrared light is completely lacking in common monitors.
Broadband low frequency light is also found in sunsets.

Semiconductors are a genuine marvel of our age and provide indispensable applications worthy of praise and reverence, however when it comes to producing light for a computer screen, its nature is simply second class to our biology and can provoke optic cell degeneration,¹ and causing ocular damage. ²
Entropy
Entropy of light = novelty of its photons.
“Information without entropy is death.”
– Claude Shannon
Entropy is defined by the amount of variations in a state or phenomena, entropy in its purest sense is novelty or unexpectedness. It can’t be defined as disorder because order and disorder are subjective, for example a wild grown land can appear chaotic to us, but for the organisms living there, may be very ordered, and conversely see a well trimmed yard grass looks very ordered but to other organisms can be very disordered. This is why disorder does not define entropy in a universal sense, because of the inherent anthropocentric biased of what is order to us. Therefore entropy is more accurately defined as novelty, which is not subjective and can exist in both order and disorder.
Electro-incandescent light emitters are made from glass and metal, and can have some of the highest entropy in the universe.
Electro-luminescent light emitters are made from silicon wafers and can have some of the lowest entropy in the universe.
Analog signals are high in entropy made of continuous spirals, while digital signals are low in entropy and made of discrete steps, like a on/off bit, both have unique and very useful applications in our present life and technology.
State of the art SpectrumView monitors makes the user experience a form of analog time dilation from the high entropy light experienced per second.
Frontier computers can transmit enormous quantities of data over ultra-low entropy luminescent light, and can experience a form of digital time dilation.
Another example would be like an inhabited house vs an uninhabited one, the inhabited house since it has much higher degrees of entropy, (because it has more unexpected events happening) should then be more disordered than the uninhabited one, and the uninhabited one since it has much lower entropy (because it has much less unexpected events happening over time), so should appear ordered, but does not. Therefore entropy cannot be defined as disorder because order and disorder are subjective, but novelty is not.

A spectrum is the “rainbow” of a light source.

Quality woodwork, thick frame and detachable copper mounts to suspend in front of a window for solar backlighting.
Hand made with hand tools.
SpectrumView monitors are built to last a long time, and for long working sessions, made with quality wood and quality repairable components, sophisticated airflow cooling design, genuine brass heat-sink reflectors and low-speed fans, substantial EMF shielding, and strong copper mounts. The incandescent light bulbs needed are standard Edison E27 base, and approved size and wattage for household appliances such as ovens and fridges, not for space illumination. For Europe and other 240v countries an inner switch is included so it can work with 240v at the flick of an inner switch, which means you can use 120v bulbs in a 240v country, twice as many replacement bulbs are included, which should last for many years.
Further developments in thermophotovoltaics will make incandescent backlights be more widely available in the future. ⁸
Keep in mind that using only incandescent bulbs at full intensity for the whole day will increase your electricity usage, and so a solar model is recommended if you have access to daylight from a window, and so when the incandescent model is used at night, the electricity consumption will cancel out. Also if used during winter the equivalent thermal energy radiated from the bulbs will be subtracted from your heating consumption, and in this scenario electricity consumption will also relatively cancel out. Thank you for taking the time to read up to here, this website is still under construction, any feedback will be appreciated, hope you seriously consider an incandescent monitor, it will be a mayor life upgrade, guaranteed.
