People respond to light, and amazingly the typical person spends 93 % of their time indoors. The trouble is — typical lights (bulbs and tubes) do not provide the light nutrition we need, and we can become slow, sluggish, even depressed. NorbSMILE provides a light spectrum like natural sunlight (minus UV radiation), helping you to feel happy and healthy, and to perform at your best.

What makes NorbSMILE the right choice for illuminating your day?

  • Utilizes one of a kind LED chip technology for truest color rendering and unparalleled sun-spectrum
  • Light spectrum is similar to sunshine, without the damaging UV rays
  • Sun light spectrum promotes happy mood; helps with Winter Blues and Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD)
  • Combats fatigue from too much time indoors—the average person spends 93 % of their time indoors in unnatural light spectrum.

NorbSMILE replicates natural daytime sun* (without the UV) for alertness, energy and mood. Conversely, standard lights are far from natural, often sapping energy and negatively impacting mood.

*Does not substitute for vitamin D supplementation.

Frequently Asked Questions about NorbSMILE

Goodness no; you can have lighting products with equal color temperatures that radiate different light frequencies. The light components of the NorbSmile are designed to enhance your overall well-being and to look “normal” with nearly perfect color rendering.

NorbSMILE is like daytime sun, NorbSMILE SOFT is like a warmer morning sun

We recommend that you request the services of a professional electrician before proceeding.

Before getting started, always disconnect all power (at the circuit breaker) to ensure that no electric current is flowing to the fixture.

Show the wiring diagram below to your electrician.  Note: it does not matter if the live wire was on the left or right side of the fixture as long as the other end is neutral.

Diagram to bypass an electronic ballast with NorbSMILE LED T8 tube lights.

No; high intensity “happy lights” are therapeutic lighting products of relatively high intensity, with very specific usage instructions. The NorbSMILE is a sunlike-spectrum light—but of much lower intensity, designed for regular day to day use—in home or business, from morning until early evening. The spectrum is natural, unlike most lighting products which emit light spectra very different than the sun (and can cause people to feel lethargic, distracted or agitated).

There are four consideratons:

  1. It is a 2-pin tube (which is by far the most common type).
  2. It replaces 48” florescent tubes.
  3. It is a “hybrid” type”, which means it will work with most ballasted and non-ballasted fixtures (download a complete list of compatible ballasts).  When unsure, hire an electrician to bypass the ballast (see our wiring diagram).
  4. It is UL approved as a T8 (T8 means 1-inch diameter tube). It may also be used in T10 and T12 fixtures (which accommodate 1.25” and 1.5“ diameter bulbs respectively), provided a UL rating for T10 or T12  is not required (by fixture or user).

No; we specifically designed NorbSMILE to imitate the sunlight’s natural spectrum with the exception of the ultra-violet (UV) frequencies.  UV rays are what helps our body to produce vitamin D, but are also a source of radiation and thus may damage skin.

Many people have become familiar with full-spectrum lighting through florescent tubes or Verilux style “full spectrum” products… which have been around for decades. These are products that have generally been represented as more “natural” or more like the sun. The promise was better mood and energy and less eyestrain.

In our opinion, these were better products than traditional fluorescent tubes or incandescent desk lamps as they attempted to round out the spectrum of light, with less saturation in the red part of the spectrum and perhaps more in the blue portion.

But… such “first generation” full spectrum lights were somewhat limited… if the goal was to mimic natural light. You can only get a florescent tube to do so much, and if you were to take a light meter reading from a first generation product and compare the spectrum to the sun’s spectrum, you’d see a marked difference. Today’s full spectrum lights, based on LED technology, can be “truly sunlike” (typically minus the U.V.) as it’s possible to tune the light however you want. So, if you want your full spectrum to be like midday sun (i.e. NorbSMILE) you can do that. Or, if you want it to mimic the setting sun, you can do that as well (NorbSLEEP). Within our website, you can see graphics that illustrate this.

The benefits of such lighting, Norb Lighting, are similar to what you might have hoped for with first generation full spectrum lighting—namely to attune the body to the sun’s spectrum and normalize daily hormonal fluctuations, reduce eye strain, reduce headaches, generally to feel healthier, more energetic and productive (when you should be) and more relaxed (during the evening hours). These type of lights provide more than illumination and rather than potentially disrupt natural rhythms help to support them.

Norb bulbs are only for use on 120 Volt, 60 Hz circuits.

The authentic and original, NorbSMILE is UL Listed. UL Listed means evaluated by Underwriters Laboratory, one of the world’s most respected consumer safety organizations. When you see the UL logo on lighting packaging, it means the product has undergone extensive testing to ensure that it is safe to use by the customer.

Norb Lighting, LLC is US BASED, BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU ACCREDITED and takes great pride in service and integrity.
