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 †
Light has great many perspectives and ways of understanding both physically and philosophically speaking, it has been a source of illumination and wonder since prehistory up to the present day. In the beginning there was light, but not all light is the same, light is determined by its photon genesis, and this can only be by only two fundamental photonic mechanisms – incandescence and luminescence. We can’t actually see light itself, only its source and its reflection, yet light is the only thing we see in a monitor, because everything else is symbol. ¹
Incandescent photonic genesis happens when an element vibrates until it radiates light by an increase in entropy states, through classical mechanics.
Luminescent photonic genesis happens by a decrease in entropy states from the transition from higher to lower energy levels, through quantum mechanics.
These two fundamental mechanisms to produce photons will determine its properties and inherent characteristics, regardless of how similar these two appear to be in color temperature. Understanding this is indispensable to develop appropriate technology, because both kinds of light serve unique applications that serve different purposes. ²
Natural incandescence comes from the celestial bodies.
Artificial incandescence comes from fire and incandescent bulbs.
Natural luminescence comes from creatures like fireflies, angler fish, and also from atmospheric phenomena like auroras and will-o’-the-wisps.
Artificial luminescence comes from light emitting semiconductors and compact fluorescent tubes.
Light can also be a wave or a particle.
“Not just by bread does man lives.”
– Jesus of Nazareth
Incandescent light production is the most efficient mechanism of producing light in the universe, emitting more photons by the same amount of energy input than a luminescent light production mechanism, but not all are in the visible range, a lot are invisible infrared. On the other hand, luminescent light production mechanisms emits less photons from the same amount of energy input, but more of these photons are in the visible range, this apparent efficienty is achieved by the suppression of large portions of the spectrum, visible photons are measured in lumens, this is not the same as total photon output.

Artificial incandescent light sources can be made at will, like fire and have been a great ally to mankind since the dawn of time, because it has enabled our specie to live in places and eat foods we could not before. The arrival of the electro-incandescent bulb revolutionized our way of life, but was still a continuation of the same type of light. It was the arrival of the electro-luminescent bulb which was a type of light we rarely seen before, yet today we are surrounded by it, especially by the interface for our modern day indispensable tool, the computer.
“Without going out of your door, you can know the ways of Heaven.“
– Laozi
A good analogy to understand the diametrical difference between the photon genesis mechanism from incandescence and luminescence, would be similar to how the heat produced by a classical electric oven, differs to a microwave oven – both produce heat, but the classical oven heats the food from the outside to the inside, while the magnetron in the microwave does it in the inverse method, from the inside to the outside. Both mechanisms produce heat or light, but in the means to accomplish resides the heart of the matter.

“The medium is the message.”
– Marshall McLuhan
Incandescent and luminescent light sources have their own special uses and excel in certain areas, for example incandescence is the undisputed king for high fidelity and faithful chromatic illumination, thanks to its broadband continuous spectrum and high-photonic entropy, something luminescent light sources fall very short, because its inherently a superposition of a handful of frequencies, that may appear white to the sight, but in reality have real spectral voids where there is literally no light. However luminescent light sources and especially from semiconductors are the unrivaled for digital information transmission, thanks to its low‑photonic entropy nature, making it the ideal light medium for digital information transmission, something indispensable for our fiber-optic internet communications technology infrastructure.
What is Entropy?
Entropy of light = novelty in its photons.
Entropy is the mother of novelty, its the amount and range of variations and unexpected microstates in a system, signal or phenomena. Incandescent light is inherently high-entropy, on the other hand luminescent light is inherently low-entropy. Both types of light are very useful and have their specific properties to provide for different technological, artistic and religious purposes, understanding this is indispensable to develop better digital to analog computer interfaces. Low-entropy photons from a solid-state semiconductor are similar in phase, go in a similar direction, and have a very narrow frequency band, or even just one frequency in the case of lasers. It has minimal variations in its microstates, it’s called highly ordered because its predictable. In the other hand, incandescent photons are high entropy and therefore are random, go in all directions, phases, spreaded across a wide spectrum band, with maximum variations in its microstates, its called disordered because its unpredictable.
Entropy is the measure of novelty in the universe.
“Information without entropy is death.”
– Claude Shannon
Entropy is novelty, and entropy is not disorder as commonly conceived, this is because order is subjective while novelty is not, as one man’s order can be another man’s disorder. For example a field growing a single type of crop may appear ordered to us, but to the indigenous organisms already therethat order may be a comlpete disorder, in this example the first would be considered low entropy because it lacks novelty, therefore predictable, a wild field is considered higher entropy because it has more variations and therefore less predictable. Also, sometimes higher entropy may appear more ordered to us, than low entropy, for example an inhabited house has higher degrees of entropy than an abandoned one, because there in the inhabited there are much more unexpected events happening constantly, it is more unpredictable and has more possible microstates, therefore higher entropy, but looks more ordered to us than an abandoned one. An abandoned house in the other hand has much lower entropy yet it looks disordered to us, its lower entropy because there are much less unexpected events happening. It will continue to decrease in entropy gradually over time as it further degrades, becoming more predictable.

Photomodulation
“Penetrating red light is possibly the fundamental anti-stress factor for all organisms.”
– Ray Peat
Semiconductors are genuine marvel of our age, and provide indispensable and very useful technological applications to our modern ways of living, their low cost and ability to transmit digital information is worthy of praise and its ability to be transformed into solar cells is even more worthy of reverence, however when it comes to producing light for our prolonged and routine use such as in a computer monitor, its “synthetic” nature is second class to our analog biology, because it can harm the sight and can provoke cell degeneration through photo-chemical reactions,¹ causing ocular damage. ² Also inhibiting the pineal gland, ³ a light sensitive gland that produces neuro-protecting hormones such as melatonin, serotonin, and pinoline. ⁴
However invisible infrared light which is abundant in incandescent light sources is low frequency light, and regenerates tissue and optic cells, reducing ocular inflammation, alleviating photo sensitiveness, improving blood circulation to the brain, enhancing cognitive function, focus and memory formation, through photo-biomodulation. ⁵ SpectrumView incandescent monitors are naturally rich in broadband infrared light frequencies, something completely lacking in ordinary luminescent monitors.

Sustainably hand-made with hand-tools.
Everything works with either 120V or 240V at the flick of an inner switch without having to change all bulbs, which means you can use 120V bulbs in a 240V country, twice as many replacement bulbs are included, which should last for many years if well treated. Using only incandescent bulbs at full intensity for the whole day will increase your electric bill, but if used during winter the proportional thermal energy radiated will be subtracted from your heating bill, so cost will cancel out, and if natural lit during the summer, the electricity usage will stay the same as well. Frontier research in nanophotonics and thermophotovoltaics will make incandescent backlights widely available for mobile screens and monitors in the future, for your only hope for a future.
