The incandescent backlit SpectrumView.
View your digital world
in the ancient light
of the future.
SpectrumView incandescent monitors are first of its kind displays that can be backlit by incandescent bulbs or a sunny window. They alleviate digitally strained sight and illuminate your content with chromatically vibrant backlight.
Ideal for artists, power users, photosensitive users and sages…

What is light?
“The Light of the Holy Ghost is of only one species, that of the just and untarnished wisdom. The Light of Nature is of two species: the good one and the evil one.”
–Theophrastus Paracelsus
Light has been a source of study and great mystery since antiquity up to the present day, with many layers of interpretation. The modern scientific approach to light is that is intimately related to energy, information and time. And is categorized into two according to how its photons are produced: On one hand there is incandescence or “hot light” and on the other hand, there is luminescence, or “cold light”.
“And He created the jinn from a smokeless flame of fire.”
– Sura 55:15
For most of our Human history and prehistory, the only type of light we saw came from incandescent light sources, because the light of the firmament, fire and vacuum bulbs is of the incandescent nature. Rarely did we see luminescent photons, but today we are surrounded almost exclusively by luminescent sources of light coming from LEDs.
Broadband incandescent medicinal infrared frequencies are found in sunsets, volcanoes and vacuum bulbs.
Incandescent photons and spectrum is the product of the movement from low to incrementally higher frequency levels; for example in a vacuum bulb a wire filament incrementally heats up until it glows.
On the contrary, luminescent photons and spectrum are the product of the movement from high to decreasingly lower frequency levels. For example the LED semiconductor that backlights nearly all digital displays today produces its photons from electron holes which then photo-reacts with phosphorous to produce its entire spectrum.
Semiconductor white light is produced by blue/UV (black light) which then passes through phosphor.
“Be careful that the light within you is not darkness.”
– Luke 11:35
Luminescent light is also found in creatures such as the angler fish.
Semiconductor photons can be interpreted as synthetic light, and have bestowed great technological leaps because it allows to transmit digital information by light wave modulation, indispensable for many modern technologies and an impossible feat for incandescent sources of light. Yet as good as luminescent light sources is for computers to communicate with each other, its photonic nature is second class for our biology, its photo-genesis is inherently different from incandescence, and you simply can’t make a silk purse out of a sow’s ear.
“The medium is the message.”
– Marshall McLuhan
Light works as if it’s a drug, except it’s not a drug at all, ¹ and has been shown that prolonged exposure to luminescent light provokes cell degeneration by photochemical reactions in the eye tissue and can cause permanent damage to the sight. ² Continuous exposure to this light negatively interferes with the pineal gland, a neuroendocrine transducer gland intimately sensitive to light located at the center of our head, also known as the third eye ³ and the seat of the soul. ⁴ This light is unlike anything seen in nature before and interfere with the Human nervous system. ⁵
Spectra and gamut
“The question is not what you look at, but what you see.”
– Henry David Thoreau
Light can be seen as a rainbow when passed through a prism, these frequencies are the spectrum.

Digital spectrum readings from a white LED and incandescent bulb in frequency (thz).
Light from ordinary digital displays completely lacks the medicinal infrared spectrum because its photons are produced from the other direction.

The coloured triangle represents the wavelengths an ordinary luminescent monitor can display, the horseshoe shaped area represents colours Humans can see, incandescent bulbs contains all wavelengths visible to the eye and have a 100% Color Rendering Index.

Also excellent for screen intensive tasks (21.5″).
And for the best online darshan experience.

Inner workings
SpectrumView monitors patented backlight technology enables you to illuminate your pixels with incandescent light sources from behind, it works with any operating system and is made of the best quality prima materia and components, designed to last for decades.
Vitral art is also translucent.
The monitor can work with both 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. It uses 8-10 incandescent vacuum bulbs of 25w to 40w of 120v or 240v generic Edison E26 standard base commonly used for fridges and ovens, many replacement bulbs are included. We use first grade premium panels and kiln dried wood with a traditional bee-wax polished finish, specially made mineral pigment lightbox inner paint, heat resistant sockets and copper wiring. Detachable copper mounts ensure compact transportation and allow to permanently suspend it in front of a sunny window, genuine lac varnished handles yield a good tight grip. The lightbox is thermally protected by three low speed fans, that take air in and out simultaneously, making the screen be only lukewarm to the touch. The analog light dimmer allows to intuitively set the light intensity to the perfect level.
Using only incandescent vacuum bulbs to retro-illuminate the monitor for the whole day will increase your electricity bill by around 5-10%, but if used during winter, the equivalent radiated thermal energy will be proportionally subtracted from your heating, and if daylight is used during the day in the summer, then it will balance out electricity consumption as well. It is recommended to get a solar-specific monitor in the same order for 1/2 the price if you have an open view window with either direct or indirect sunlight, as its more convenient to have one permanently placed in front of a window in the correct setup, and another purely incandescent vacuum bulb backlit because the filaments are quite fragile and sensitive to sudden movements. However, incandescent vacuum bulbs can have lifespans of up to 100 years if not used at 100% intensity. It should be emphasized that having a daylight backlit monitor means you have to adapt to the luminous needs of the monitor, which means rearranging your space for the monitor is placed facing in front of a window.
Incandescent bulbs used for household appliances such as this monitor are exempted in countries where incandescent bulbs are banned. And the lightbox when placed face down can also be used as an excellent cured meat dehydrator, the dimmer sets the precise infrared frequencies with no heat, while the fans circulate air gently in and out continuously.
