Ever wonder why 8 hours outside feels energizing but 8 hours in an indoors leaves you drained?

We tested what you’re actually getting from indoor lighting vs. sunlight. It turns out that modern LEDs are optimized for efficiency and brightness, not for mimicking sunlight.

Cold LEDs are extremely high in short wavelength blue light, and completely absent of more restorative red + infrared light.

Blue light is only bad when it is not balanced with lower energy wavelengths, and this is the reason why indoor lighting feels so overstimulating and draining to our body.

Sunlight is full spectrum: all visible wavelengths plus UV plus infrared that balance each other out. We need lighting that more closely mimics sunlight if we want to feel better indoors ☀️

How do you feel about indoor lighting?
