The 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: The good one and the evil one.”
– Theophrastus Paracelsus ❧
Light has been a source of insight and wonder since antiquity, its one of the most interesting phenomena, and has many layers of interpretation and understanding.
Shape of a photon according to modern physics.
Scientifically speaking, light is the visible spectrum that carries energy and information, and its duality of nature is mind-bending as it can be both a wave and a particle.
Light defines the source, and the source defines the light.
Since the dawn of mankind we have seen mostly incandescent light sources, because the light from of all the stars, thunder and all the planets and of fire light is of the incandescent nature.
Since the dawn of mankind we have seen incandescent light sources.
But today electro-luminescence and phosphorescence from almost every digital screen and even street lamps, a kind of light we very rarely saw, disrupting millions of years of adaptation to incandescent light sources.
Luminescent light can be found in rare natural phenomena.
“And He created the jinn from a smokeless flame of fire”
– Surah 55:15
Visible light can only be produced either through incandescence or luminescence. Incandescent light originates from the low frequency end of the electromagnetic spectrum, in other words when an element is heated until it glows, emitting light across a wide spectral range, i.e. from infrared to visible light through classical energy processes. Or by luminescence, quantum electrodynamics proceses, where light is produced not by increasingly rising frequency and energy, but by decreasing, and when an electron drops from a high-energy level to a lower one.
Light can be both a wave and a particle
Incandescence is the primordial light in the universe, originating from the transition of low frequency states to incrementally higher frequency states, directly as a result of a classical energy mechanics, resulting in a complete light spectrum across a wide range of frequencies. In the other hand luminescent light originates from the higher frequency end of the electromagnetic spectrum, transitioning from high to lower frequencies, resulting in a narrow and discrete spectrum.
White LEDs use a semiconductor wafer and electron-holes to produce a blue luminescent beam, coated with phosphors.
The arrival of electric light in the 19th century was the same kind of light did not produce any strain to our biology because it was still a continuation of incandescent light sources, the real change came by the arrival of electro-luminescent light, namely compact fluorescent lamps and light emitting diodes. Since this kind of light is produced by the opposite direction of the electromagnetic spectrum than from incandescence. A good analogy would be cooking by fire and then electric heating coils, where energy is transmitted from the outside in, to a microwave oven, which cooks in the opposite direction, from the inside out.
“You will know them by their fruits”
– Matthew 7:20
“The eye sees the present and the future.”
– Salvador Dali
Light and time are interwoven, and quantum processes such as electron-holes, have the capability to be time-symmetric, where the direction of time is not necessarily one-way such as classical processes that are strictly from past to future. In quantum processes a future event can influence the events that precede it, known as retrocausality, where the present evolves in such a way that its attracted to a certain outcome determined by a future condition.
“The medium is the message.”
– Marshall McLuhan
Energy efficient data transmitting electro-luminescent components have many useful and indispensable applications, but while is very useful and for certain use cases, its falls short in others. A digital screen is the interface between the digital realm and our biology through our eyes, in which a backlight is the light medium by which information is conceived and conveyed, and so wholesome incandescent backlight for the night and Sun backlight during the day is of utmost importance an priority. Because prolonged and routinely exposure to luminescent backlit screens damage the sight and can provoke optic cell degeneration, through photochemical reactions,¹ potentially leading ocular damage, ² and negatively interfering our pineal gland,³ a gland which produces neurotransmitting and neuroprotecting, antooxidant hormones such as melatonin, serotonin and pinoline.
“Penetrating red light is possibly the fundamental anti-stress factor for all organisms.”
– Ray Peat

SpectrumView monitors are naturally rich in infrared frequencies, which alleviate and regenerate strained sight through a process known as photo-biomodulation, which reduces inflammation, releases endorphins, and promotes the formation of new blood vessels to improve circulation to the heath and brain, good for cognition enhancement, memory formation and retention, attention, and artistic creativity.

SpectrumView monitors illuminate your pixels with benign incandescent light from behind, like stained glass, and have a magnetically attachable/detachable electro-incandescent lightbox to choose solar backlight when possible. SpectrumView monitors are made from first quality materials and components, designed to last for a lifetime. It works with most operating systems and the bulbs employed are the same size and approved-listed for household appliances like ovens, and are not banned because they are not used for space illumination.
The new electro-incandescent lightbox models now feature brass heatsinks for better thermal dissipation and quieter operation.
Can work with both 120V or 240V at the flick of an inner switch without having to change all bulbs, its recommended to switch your operating system from dark to light mode for best results. It has 8-10 incandescent generic base Edison standard bulbs of 25w commonly used for ovens, with many replacement bulbs included. Thermally protected by low speed DC fans with genuine brass polished reflectors. Top quality liquid crystal display panels proven over time, bee-wax polished wood, ceramic sockets, and copper wiring, copper shielding available upon request. Strong copper mounts provide unmatched stability, and detachable for a compact transportation or to permanently hang it in front of a sunny window, genuine insect lac varnish handles yield a good tight grip.
The SpectrumView electro-incandescent lightbox can also be used as an excellent cured meat or fruit dehydrator when placed faced down and not in use, the infrared frequencies can be precisely controlled, with little interior heat due to a sophisticated circulating airflow design.
Japanese style precision woodworking and detachable copper mounts.
Only incandescent bulbs to backlight your monitor for the whole day will electricity usage, but if used suring winter the thermal energy will be subtracted from your heating, and so it will not cost. However, it is recommended to get a solar specific monitor in the same order at half price if you have a sunny window without a mosquito net and with either direct or indirect sunlight. Having a solar backlit monitor means you need you to adapt to the light needs of the monitor, therefore rearranging your space will be necessary, placing curtains or palm mat around the perimeter of the monitor 3 feet around is also needed.
The progression of the screen.
Incandescent light bulbs are very ecological because they are only made Earth-abundant materials, such as glass and metal, bar none for sustainability to produce and disposed because no rare earths, plastics, mercury or semiconductors are used, it can also have lifespans of up to 100 years when properly made. Incandescent light technology is the future for digital backlight because it makes digital screens a more amiable, wholesome interface, transforming our communications for the better. Advances in nano-photonic incandescent bulbs will pave the way for the future of incandescent backlight and inspiring innovation in thermophotovoltaics, the energy of the future…
