Relaxation and Enjoyment Enhanced by Infrared Light

In 2023, traditional incandescent light bulbs were banned in the U.S. due to their failure to meet the Department of Energy’s efficiency standards, with only 12% of the energy they consumed producing visible light. The ban has led to a shift towards blue-rich LED bulbs that lack infrared emissions, which are integral to human health. Emerging research highlights the calming properties of infrared light, showing that it can mitigate stress and promote relaxation by reducing sympathetic nervous system activity. As people adapt to these restrictions, some companies are offering alternatives, such as NIRA bulbs, which retain infrared capabilities. Advocates are calling for a review of the upcoming stricter regulations due in 2028, which could further limit access to healthier lighting options.
