Project your content
with the ancient light
of the future.
With this high-photonic fidelity computer monitor retro-backlit by solar and electro incandescent photons.
Analog light for the digital world.
SpectrumView displays are a first of its kind, high-photonic fidelity vacuum bulb computer monitors, beautifully-designed and made in the heart of Mexico. They can be retro-illuminated by natural and electric incandescence, which alleviates digitally strained sight and illuminates the content with a chromatically vibrant light, rich in infrared with 100% Color Rendering Index, perfect photosensitive users, power users, artists and sages.

What is Light?
“Be your own light.“ – The Buddha
Light has been studied and interpreted since antiquity with various degrees of depth and perspective, however, visible light is divided in two depending how the photons are generated, there is incandescence, “warm light”, photons that are produced starting from low frequency infrared that incrementally increase to higher frequencies, and there is luminescence, “cold light”, photons that are produced from high frequency or without starting from infrared wavelengths.
The Lumen Naturae from the golden splendour of our Sun, fire and incandescent bulbs is incandescent in nature, luminescence in nature comes from the luciferin molecule found in creatures such as the Angler fish and fireflies and in electronics from semiconductors found in ordinary digital displays.
“And He created the jinn from a smokeless flame of fire.“ – Surah 55:15
“Be careful, that the light within you is not darkness.“ – Jesus of Nazareth
Photons from a Light Emitting Diode are produced from a semiconductor in a process called electron-hole recombination which produces a blue beam, which then by a photoreaction with phosphorous decreases in frequency and produces its entire visible spectrum, in other words, photons are the product of the movement from a high energy state to a lower one. In the contrary, incandescence produces light from the other direction, from the low frequency infrared light to incrementally higher, producing its entire visible spectrum this way. Energy is frequency, and frequency carries information.
Sunsets, volcanoes and incandescent bulbs are rich sources of infrared.
For most of our history, the only type of photons we saw were incandescent, because the light of the Sun, the stars and fire is incandescent, but today we are surrounded by luminescence, a type of light that for most of our history we very rarely saw. LED light is a type of luminescence and no filter can fix it for a very fundamental reason, its photons are very different from incandescence. It is now known that prolonged exposure to luminescent photons can provoke cell degeneration and photochemical reactions in the eye tissue and can cause permanent damage to the sight. ¹ Continuous exposure to luminescent photons also produces strain and interference with the pineal gland, a neuroendocrine transducer gland located at the center of our head also known as the third eye intimately associated and stimulated with light, ² luminescent photons can also cause brain neurodegeneration. ³ These light emitting diodes emit a beam of non-uniform light energy unlike anything seen in nature before, this light energy interferes with the human nervous system. ⁴
Long infrared wavelengths are low frequency
Sometimes truth is written in plain sight
Incandescence is naturally analog in waveform
Incandescent light has many beneficial properties besides alleviating digitally strained sight and promoting cell regeneration, it also increases mental focus and prolongs productivity and creativity, excellent for aesthetic work and screen intensive tasks. Luminescent light is extremely useful and indispensable for certain applications and technologies, but when spectral quality and ocular protection is the aim, its no match with the gentleness and richness of the incandescent light nature.
“The medium is the message.” – Marshall McLuhan
Light spectrums
Total observable relative color gamut from an ordinary display vs Total observable relative color gamut from a SpectrumView display.
The coloured triangle represents the wavelengths an ordinary luminescent monitor can display, the horseshoe-shaped area represents colours Humans can see, but that the monitor cannot show. Incandescence contains all wavelengths visible to the eye.

“The eye is the lamp of the body.” – Matthew 6:22
The SpectrumView monitor and electroincandescent light box is made of quality kiln dried wood and traditional bee-wax polished finish, detachable copper standing mounts and sturdy glass backed display. The electroincandescent light box is thermally protected by low speed fans, the analog light dimmer makes it very easy to set the light intensity to the perfect level. The electroincandescent light box can work with both 120V or 240V at the flick of an inner switch without having to change all bulbs, uses 8-10 incandescent bulbs of 25w (up to 40w) of 120v or 240v regular standard E26 base, bulbs and replacements included. Keep in ind that only using electroincandescence to backlit the monitor will increase your electricity bill, between 5-15USD extra a month, but if retro-illuminated also by the Sun, the SpectrumView monitor will consume about the same amount of electricity as an ordinary monitor would, since only 25% to 50% of total available light intensity is needed when used at night. Also if you end up using only solar light as backlight, when placed faced down, it can be used as an excellent cured meat dehydrator, the dimmer sets the precise infrared energy while the fans circulate air gently in and out continuously.
Detachable copper mounts for compact transportation and to permanently suspend the monitor in front of a sunny window, natural lac varnished handles for a good tight grip.
