Funny they tested sunlight through glass, not direct sun.

Glass removes most UV and a lot of the useful spectrum.

Yet it still outperformed artificial lighting.

Even the DILUTED version of sunlight is better than the LEDs in your house

A filtered, watered down version of the sun still beats the ENGINEERED lighting we built to replace it.

Take away UV.
Strip parts of the infrared.
Flatten the spectrum through a pane of glass.

And it still works better.

We spent decades designing LEDs, tuning color temperature, optimizing LUX.

And a weakened version of the sun still beats it.

Maybe the problem isn’t the engineering.

Maybe the sun already figured this out.

LEDs weren't engineered to replace sunlight, we engineered them to various colors so we could see things without them looking red (the original LED color). We do have wide-spectrum lights, and using various combinations can get close to the spectrum width of the sun (not exact), but they are made f...

Office space. They already knew it would work. Next step is say hey let's put diabetics out in the sun like we used to with tuberculitics.

How many offices do not have glass windows? I've never been in a tall building that had open voids for windows, always glass windows
