Targets opsins in the body
Activates OPN3, OPN4, and OPN5 light-sensing proteins found in eyes, skin, & fat tissue to regulate biological rhythms.
The Science
The science behind the light.
Lumenaros is grounded in decades of research from Nature, Cell, and leading academic institutions — developed in partnership with Cincinnati Children's Hospital.
Backed by 150+ peer-reviewed studies
Our technology is grounded in decades of research from Nature, Cell, and leading academic institutions worldwide.
Developed by experts at Cincinnati Children's
Created in partnership with world renowned pediatric researchers and ophthalmologists focused on child health.
Where the research focuses
Eye Development
How violet and full-spectrum wavelengths support healthy eye growth and reduce myopia progression.
Metabolism
How opsins in fat tissue respond to light to influence energy balance and metabolic regulation.
Sleep
How daily light patterns reinforce circadian rhythm and natural melatonin production for deeper sleep.
Behavioral Health
How balanced spectral light supports attention, mood, and calm in classrooms and care spaces.
Key findings
150+ Peer-reviewed studies
30% Myopia reduction in children
45+ min Improvement in nightly sleep
From the experts
“Light is one of the most powerful regulators of human biology — and we're only beginning to understand its full impact on development.”
James M. Greenberg, MD Professor of Pediatrics, Cincinnati Children's Hospital “Our research shows that specific wavelengths, particularly in the violet range, play critical roles in eye health that we can no longer ignore.”
Richard A. Lang, PhD Director, Visual Systems Group, Cincinnati Children's “At our core, we are driven by the opportunity to improve human health at scale. In collaboration with Cincinnati Children's Hospital, our team is translating leading-edge research into technology that can meaningfully impact millions of lives.”
