Questions, answered.

Everything you want to know about spectral lighting, the science behind it, and how to bring Lumenaros to your space.

What is Lumenaros?

Lumenaros is a spectral lighting system designed to recreate more of the wavelengths found in natural sunlight for children's homes, classrooms, and care spaces.

How is Lumenaros different from regular LED lights?

Standard LEDs often leave out violet and indigo wavelengths. Lumenaros restores a fuller spectrum and supports daily light patterns.

Who is Lumenaros designed for?

Families, childcare providers, schools, NICUs, pediatric care spaces, and pilot partners interested in healthier indoor light.

Is Lumenaros safe?

The product is designed around wellness lighting and natural sunlight principles. Final claims should still be reviewed before launch.

What are opsins?

Opsins are light-sensing proteins found in the eyes, skin, and fat tissue. Lumenaros targets OPN3, OPN4, and OPN5 to help regulate biological rhythms.

Is the science peer-reviewed?

Yes. Our technology is grounded in 150+ peer-reviewed studies from journals such as Nature and Cell, and is developed in partnership with Cincinnati Children's Hospital.

Can light really affect myopia?

Research suggests that exposure to violet and full-spectrum light supports healthy eye development and is associated with reduced myopia progression in children.

What products are available?

Our preview lineup includes a desk lamp, a kids' sleep-aid light, and a companion light-exposure app. Availability rolls out by phase through 2026.

Where do I buy Lumenaros?

Do the lights require an app?
