Daylight Saving Time is over, and I am sure some of you Sun worshipers out there shed a tear as you set your clocks back. It’s especially hard for those of us who follow the daily grind of 9-5, since we just lost a full hour of after-work sunlight. But don’t worry. The Boise Co-op has the next best thing to actual sunlight! ARTIFICIAL!I know what you are thinking: “The Co-op sells artificial sunlight?!” Well yes we do, and it comes in the form of light bulbs.

We currently have Blues Buster brand light bulbs on sale for 10% off. Blues Buster uses scientifically- formulated glass that actually produces a full spectrum of light like natural sunlight. So, even if it is grey outside, it feels like sunshine inside your home and office. Not only do they help you beat the wintertime blues, they reduce glare, make colors more vibrant, reduce the strain on your eyes, and –even better– they last for up to 5,000 hours. That’s 6 times longer than ordinary light bulbs!

So, if you are feeling a little down thinking it’s going to be a long, dark, poorly-lit winter, come in and grab some Blues Busters. Just imagine the possibilities! You get off work and the sun is already starting to set. By the time you get home, it’s gone. But, as you open your front door you realize that it won’t be that bad because you now have the sun shining INSIDE your house.
