Introduction
Introduction
Lumie Zest combines two functions in one convenient product: a wake-up
light with a sunrise alarm to wake you naturally, and a SAD and energy light,
to provide you with the bright light your body needs in the dark winter
months.
Its compact design makes it suitable for use at home, in the office or to take
with you when you're travelling.
Wake-up light
Lumie Zest wakes you with a sunrise that naturally helps to regulate your
sleep and wake patterns. You'll wake up in a better mood, find it easier to get
up and feel more energetic during the day.
Ideally, you should use the wake-up light all year round to help keep your
sleep and wake cycles on track.
In clinical trials, 'dawn simulators' such as Zest have been shown to improve
mood, energy, productivity and the quality of sleep and awakening
also help sufferers of SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder) and winter blues cope
with dark winter mornings.
SaD and energy light
Zest's light therapy function will provide you with the bright light your body
needs during the dark winter months. It can help to boost your energy levels,
put you in a better mood and make you feel more awake
safe and is proven to help alleviate the winter blues and SAD
Our circadian rhythms are strongly influenced by light and the short
wavelengths around the blue part of the spectrum are known to be
particularly important. Because the white LEDs used in Zest are rich in blue
light, they offer an effective alternative to the white fluorescent tubes used in
larger lightboxes.
