Luminette is a wearable light therapy device providing proven relief from Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), sleep disorders, and circadian rhythm issues (jet lag and shift work).
Unlike traditional light therapy devices, which require users to remain stationary in front of a lightbox, Luminette is worn like a pair of glasses that sit just above the eyes. It can be worn around the house or at work. Twenty minutes per day is enough to treat and prevent issues during months when sunlight is reduced.
There’s also a Luminette app designed by chronotherapist Roland Pec that helps users design schedules for circadian disorders (winter blues, sleep problems, shift work disorders and jet lag). Employing the app along with the Luminette, users can to help re-adjust sleep cycles, including light exposure, light avoidance, sleep, etc.
Luminette’s 1,500-lux blue-enriched white light is output from LEDs. It hits the diffraction lens and stimulates the retina, without affecting vision. Light shines downwards into the eyes, just as sunlight naturally does.
Receptors in the eye then send a signal to the body’s circadian clock regulator, stopping the secretion of melatonin, which naturally “wakes up” all body systems.
Luminette is UV- and infrared-free and is classified as a safe product for the eyes in compliance with standard IEC 62471.
