This 4" ultra slim panel light designed for quick and easy installation without a housing for both new construction and remodel applications.
Seems that everyone who writes to me signs their letters "love and light." It has such a bright uplifting sound to it. Lightworkers are being taught to hold the energy of the light and to equate love with a warm white light that heals and protects. After what feels like an age of suppression and darkness, it all sounds like such a refreshing change, much like the first bits of sunlight after a long harsh winter. And so the pendulum swings. Still we do not find balance.
Years ago a man came to speak at our church. Forgive me for my lousy memory, but I cannot recall which indigenous tribe or belief system he taught. What I remember is that he had an amazingly calm and soothing presence and that he ran us through a chanting meditation that had the entire room spell bound with love and healing energy. What he taught is what stuck with me. He said that his people do not assume anything when sending each other healing energy. They do not predetermine that the person needs white light, or green light, or physical healing, or mental healing or anything else. They imagine darkness warm and secure like a mother's womb protecting and embracing the person who appears to need help. They send them energy that is void of all color or emotion so that the person and his spirit can do as they will with it. It's the ultimate in detachment. They simply send the darkness and allow it to become whatever it needs to become in order to heal the persons body or soul. I imagined it as pure unrefined energy rather than as highly tuned and polished energy that the Lightworkers have so beautifully crafted. The concept stuck with me. Among his people there is no battle between the light and the darkness. All energy is of the original source and all is holy and sacred.
I look to nature for reassurance that this is indeed the natural way of things. The sun and the seasons have their natural perfect cycles of light and darkness, of growth and of death. If the summer lasted forever, the grass and trees would all shrivel up and die. If the darkness lasted forever, the seeds would never sprout anew. We can love each for its gift and even have a favorite that touches us a bit more then the other, but the balance is perfect and runs along beautifully with or without our loving it. The cycles of life and death, light and darkness do not require our help nor our approval. Such is healing and religion. All that is, is.... with or without our comprehension or approval.
Light and darkness need each other as a yin yang reveals. Without the other to reflect itself off of, they cease to exist. Remember the cool shade under the trees on a hot summer day. Remember the cool dark room for healing a migraine headache. Remember the restorative sleep that is best done in the dark. The caveman inside of us may still be afraid of the dark, but it does not mean that the darkness and its energy is bad or evil. Much evil has been done in the light of day. Much evil has been done in the name slim liner flood lights for sale of God and every other holy label we give to the light. And goodness can also come of the shadows.
The dark night of the soul is perhaps the most pivotal moment in every healer's life. Until you embrace that which is deeply hidden within yourself, you can not take your full and complete self into your sacred work. If you deny the darkness within, you deny yourself the chance for real healing, real balance, real peace, and real change. It is in our darkness that we lick the wounds we've been dealt and its in the darkness that we find fortitude and strength to carry on regardless of other people's opinions of us. It's in the darkness that the angels come and show us that we are not alone. The shaman's journey is into the darkness where man keeps his secrets and his power.
The battle between light and dark is a cruel lie that was taught to us just like the battle between men and women. One is not better than the other. One is not more important or more holy then the other. Masculine energy versus feminine energy is not a battle to be fought, but the comparison of two gifts held within each of us. The light and darkness are the same way. Do not turn your backs on each other over gender and do not turn your back on the gift of darkness just because some leaders long ago told you things that were not quite true. The darkness is no more evil then women are. The darkness is simply another piece of the game of life to be explored and experienced.
Do not think that I am advocating evil behaviors or that I'm saying you should worship Satan. I believe that karma will kick you in the head if you are mean or hateful towards others. I believe that the boomerang always comes back and you get whatever you dished out. I'm simply advocating the exploration and appreciation of the darkness. Remember that the stars sit in a black night sky. There is so much more darkness up there then there is light. Remember laying out under those stars on a warm summer night and contemplating humanity's place in the universe. Beautiful amazing inner reflection happens in the dark. Find balance between the two and learn to be whole within both. Do not assume that you know enough to judge any one color or shade as superior or inferior to another. It is the same with the colors of energy as it is with the souls of men. Love them all for they are all pieces of yourself.

Light therapy is a form of alleviative treatment where patients are exposed to specific wavelengths of artificial light for set number of hours a day. It is used in the treatment of common skin disorders, psychiatric disorders and sleep disorders and has been proven highly effective in most cases.
The therapy itself entails the use of devices called light boxes. As the name suggests these are containers 600*1200 panel lights filled with light bulbs or LED Strip Lights and covered by a pane of frosted glass.
The light emitted by the box is directed towards the effected area of skin or shone directly into the retinas, depending on the type of ailment in question.
In the case of skin disorders the light is concentrated on those areas of the body needing attention. For psychiatric disorders light is shone directly into the eyes.
Light therapy has been shown to be particular effective in the treatment of Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD). SAD relates to the regulation of two important hormones (mood altering chemicals) produced by the brain's hypothalmus; melatonin and serotonin.
- Melatonin is a sleep regulating hormone. Production of this hormone is inhibited by light and stimulated in its absence.
- Seratonin is a mood regulating hormone. It is produced under reverse conditions to melatonin.
During the dark winter months when sunlight is in short supply there is a tendency for people to suffer a seratonin defficiency, thereby making them unhappy and despondent. The onset of SAD is marked by symptoms such as saddness, general lack of well being and insomnia. Symptoms recur on an annual basis between mid-autumn and lasting right through until spring.
Light boxes can be used to correct the imbalance of seratonin in the body by shining light directly into the eyes of a patient. The light is UV filtered to avoid damage to the skin or retinas.
Non-seasonal depression and other psychiatric disorders, such as bi-polar depression, can also be alleviated through the use of light therapy.
A study conducted by the Cochrane Collaboration reached the conclusion that "for patients suffering from non-seasonal depression, light therapy offers modest though promising anti-depressive efficiacy."
The treatment of SAD is particularly important for businesses, particularly offices, as it can retard the performance of employees. Upgrading the lighting system in an office to an improve Colour Rendering Index (CRI) has been proven to increase the happiness and comfort of employees, and therefore raise productivity. Cool White LED Strips have exceptional colour rendering, making colour appear more vibrant and natural beneath their light.
Today, acne is a very common skin problem mostly faced by the people between the age group of 12 and 24 years. Acne occurs when the oil produced by the skin glands entraps in 2*4 panel Lights Company the pores and thus bacteria traps in those pores which harm the skin.
There are numerous acne treatments depending upon the different kinds of skin. Talking about the most successful treatment, light therapies are the long term solutions to this problem suitable for all the skin types. The most commonly used treatment therapy is the blue light acne therapy.

The dermatologists recommend the use of branded products for acne treatment. The major drawback of the blue light treatment is that can cause problems like swelling, skin dryness or some skin color changes which disappear with time or can easily be overcome under the dermatologist guidance.

Combined with red light, acne light therapy is even more effective : it repairs skin cells, reduces acne scars and heals skin faster.
But because not all sound and light waves can be seen or heard, many therapists consider that they work on the energy or "vibrational" planes as well as at the psychological level.Light TherapiesInsufficient natural light can lead to depression, tiredness, or overeating. In the winter, especially in colder countries, the level of indoor light produces only about a tenth of the illumination of a full day of natural light. A form of "winter blues" that can result from this is known as Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD). It affects around 1 percent of the population (more women than men) but can be successfully treated with special "full spectrum" light units fitted into the home or into the office.Color TherapyNormal daylight (that is, light from the sun) is filtered through the eye to produce the visible colors of the spectrum red, yellow, orange, green, blue, indigo, and violet. Other colors invisible to the human eye are ultraviolet and infrared, which affect us even though we 'can't see them, because our skin is receptive to changes in light.Color therapists work with colors to rebalance the body on both the physical and "psychic" levels. Therapists who slim panel lights for sale work on the physical level believe that as light is received and absorbed through the skin it works on the nervous system to change the body's chemical balance. By adjusting the amount of specific color input they believe they can affect physical well being as well as mood. Pink, for instance, is considered to have a calming effect, red speeds up the circulation and raises blood pressure, while blue lowers it.On the psychic, or subtle energy level, therapists work to influence the seven energy centers, or chakras each of which is said to correspond to one of the seven colors of the light spectrum, starting with red for the "base" chakra and ending with violet at the "crown" center. So, for example, green is said to influence the "heart" chakra and yellow the "solar plexus."Colors and AuraMany therapists work with your "aura" and "chakras". An aura is an energy field, which, personal to each individual. Some therapists claim tob able to see an aura, which manifests itself in the fonno a shimmer or haze of colored light around the body. Every aura has its own colors, and they are affected by your health, well-being, and spirit. If your energy compromised in any way, that will be reflected in tit color of your aura.Color therapists claim that every subtle change color affects us on every level of our being. Recent scientific studies have confirmed that every cell of our body is made up of contracted light - and because light responds to color, the as yet unproved theories behind color therapy are believed to make sense. Color therapy is aimed at restoring cells to an even level of balance, thus stimulating any necessary healing processes and improving overall spiritual and mental health. Your therapist will choose a color that he or she sees as vibrating at a frequency needed to restore the cells; he or she must take care to choose the correct color and offer it in the right "dosage" to ensure that the balance is maintained. Every color has both negative and positive attributes.
