Why Sunlight Deficiency Is As Deadly As Smoking

Wow after reading this Everybody needs to stop wearing Sun-glasses, change out all of the florescent bulbs with full spectrum types, and switch to full spectrum, ultraviolet transmitting Glasses.

We need all of the Sun's benefits:

Ultraviolet light, which is what causes interior materials such as fabrics and wall coverings to fade, has wavelengths of 310-380 nanometers when reporting glass performance.
Visible light occupies the part of the spectrum between wavelengths from about 380-780 nanometers.
Infrared light or heat energy, is transmitted as heat into a building, and begins at wavelengths of 780 nanometers. Solar infrared is commonly referred to as short-wave infrared energy, while heat radiating off of warm objects has higher wavelengths than the sun and referred to as long-wave infrared.

Now this is what is being done to the Glass that is being installed at most new construction.

Low-e coatings have been developed to minimize the amount of ultraviolet and infrared light that can pass through glass without compromising the amount of visible light that is transmitted.

Wow did you know that it is impossible to get straight glass with/out coatings for your windows that is energy efficient. You will have to buy plain glass and cut it out the size you want times two and make a two plane window!

There is a machine that can do this with coating windows so if you can get this machine that makes efficient windows.

Now is there such a thing as Full Spectrum Glasses?
