About Us
Nature provides us with an original supply of melanin at the back of the eye. Researchers believe that this melanin offers both photoprotection and vision enhancement. However, this valuable photoprotection pigment gradually decreases during the aging process and about 15% is lost in the eye by age forty and 25% is lost by age fifty. Ophthalmologists have reported that melanin in the eye reduces the risks of age related macular degeneration. NATRALITE filters, with natural melanin, compensates for this lost melanin by offering a means of acquiring extra melanin for protection in light harsh environments.
With a minimal investment, our filters can illuminate your facility with the rich appearance of incandescent lighting, without changing your fluorescent fixtures or bulbs. This allows you to use your low energy consuming fluorescent fixtures and still achieve the warm rich look of incandescent lighting.
Shopping Center Designers of high-end department stores and exclusive Madison Avenue boutiques select melanin filters because of the the warm rendition achieved with these filters. Areas illuminated with energy saving fluorescent lamps, covered with melanin filters, appear warm and rich, as if they were illuminated by incandescent lighting. The filters are also used because of the apparent improved color contrast and to protect fabrics from UV degradation.
