Overview
Light impacts how we feel, work, play and rest! Sunlight Inside was founded to bring the benefits of natural light back into our lives. Our first product is bottled sunshine, an elegant table lamp which automatically delivers the daily and seasonal cycles of natural light. Brighten your space and lift your mood with sunlight during the day, relax and connect with candlelight in the evenings, recover and sleep with fire light at night. Bottled sunshine is light the way nature intended!

Natural Light for Mind, Body and Soul!


"We have a Bottled Sunshine lamp in our bedroom. When I am getting ready to go to bed, the warm evening light is so inviting and comforting.  And in the morning, I love how energizing the natural morning light is - makes me feel ready to go tackle the day (even before coffee!)”
- Krista B. in Albany CA

“I love the lamp and the way the lighting mirrors the arc of the sun from dawn to dusk.”
- Roger R. in Alamo California

"I live in Michigan which has long winter with grey sky on most days. Bottled Sunshine sits at the center of our kitchen island and lets us forget the outside.  Its changing light from warm to cool gets my kids active and going out the door in the morning and then the shift from cool to warm calms them down as we finish dinner and get ready for bed. It is really setting the rhythm of our house." 
- Sonali V. in Ann Arbor Michigan

“I love the warm evening glow - particularly on a cold and dark Norwegian winter evening.”
- John T. in Oslo Norway

“My family has been lucky enough to have a prototype light in our home and we LOVE it. Even though our house is bathed in natural light during the day, we enjoy our Bottled Sunshine on the dark winter mornings when it shines with a dawn-like light and helps us get our day rolling. When evening falls so early the house feels so cozy with our lamp switched on. We feel like we have candles burning or something. It is a warm cozy light that makes us feel calm and happy.”
- Jillian B. in El Cerrito CA.

 “We've placed Bottled Sunshine on both sides of our bedside table, and we love the soft/warm evening light.”
- Uli K. in Mainz Germany

“We have been using the lamp extensively for two months and we LOVE it. Our house gets plenty of natural sunlight during the day so mostly we use the lamp at night to set the tone for our infant daughter (and ourselves). The soft, amber glow is beautiful and really helps as a cue for our household to start winding down once the sun sets. It’s basically the only light we use after 9pm to make sure our baby isn’t getting mixed messages during late night or early morning feedings.”
- Todd J. in Charleston South Carolina

 "I absolutely love noticing the colors change!"
- Sandy D. in Naples Florida

"One or two nights each week I have late evening conference calls with China-based coworkers and using bottled sunshine has made all the difference.  Instead of feeling ‘wired’, bottled sunshine casts a soft candle-light glow making it easier to relax and fall asleep after my calls end."  
- Hamlin M. in Minneapolis Minnesota

“Your craftsmanship is superb. Well done.”
- Anonymous, in Menlo Park California

“Bottled Sunshine is easy on the eyes in both the looks department and in it's soft sunset glow in the evening. For many years I've experimented with lighting that mimics the natural light cycle, but with little luck. Sunlight Inside cracked the code. It's a great addition to my bedside table. After I bought it, my wife got jealous, so I ordered a second one!”
- Josh M. in Fairfax California

“We are enjoying our bottled sunshine lamp since its purchase. It is on most of the time in a windowless room which keeps us connected with the outside. I particularly like that it's functional right out of the box and doesn't need an app or a phone to make is shine."
- Steve P. in Saratoga CA
 

 

experience light the way nature intended

We evolved with natural light.  Until 100 years ago our days were filled with bright sunlight, and our evenings were lit with the soft warm glow of a flame.  We are programmed to respond to the daily and seasonal variations of natural light.  We feel bright and energized on a sunny day, and down on rainy days, during dark winter months or when we’ve been stuck inside for too long.  Exposure to light is what drives our hormone cycles and synchronizes our circadian rhythms – profoundly impacting how we feel, work, play and rest.  Unfortunately, most of us don’t get enough natural light during the day and get too much artificial light at night.  The science linking light and health is clear, and the technology to recreate natural light is now available.  We founded Sunlight Inside to design and build products which deliver the benefits of natural light!




 

We've been shipping bottled sunshine since December! 

Is there someone in your life who struggles with sleep, or has the winter blues?  Is your family blessed with a new baby or a moody teenager?   Is it difficult for you to get outside regularly?  Do you know someone who works in a windowless cubicle?  Our bottled sunshine lamps automatically produce sunlight during the day (to boost your mood/energy) and then switch to candle light at night to make it easier to unwind and sleep.  Our lamps are hand-made in California from locally sourced materials, order now so you don't miss our limited 2016 vintage production!



Natural light is full spectrum and dynamic, ranging from bright and cool during the day to soft and warm in the evenings.  These daily cycles of sunlight (rich with bio-active blue) and candle or fire light at night (reddish light with no bio-active blue) are a cornerstone of our health and wellness.  For the first time, a new class of LED light engines makes it possible to deliver these daily and seasonal cycles of natural light by actively mixing together the different colors of the rainbow!  These next-generation light sources are now being adopted in high-end design projects around the world – unfortunately you can’t get this technology without talking to an architect or lighting designer and hiring contractors.   We founded Sunlight Inside to make natural light available in simple, easy to use products which you can buy direct!   


Our first product is a simple and elegant table lamp which automatically delivers the daily and seasonal cycles natural light right out of the box – just plug it in, there is nothing to install and nothing to set-up!   We believe that natural light is the smartest light - so we preset bottled sunshine to match your address before it ships - you don’t ever need to connect it to a smartphone or wifi router!    Now if you want more control than Mother Nature provides, our products are Bluetooth enabled.  You can pair bottled sunshine with the Sunn App to track natural light anywhere in the world.  You can pair bottled sunshine with a commissioning App for full color gamut control to perfectly match your light to your aesthetic!     We have more awesome features in the works (stay tuned).   These Apps provide unlimited control, but remember they are entirely optional - bottled sunshine delivers natural light right out of the box - just plug it in and enjoy the perfect light at every time of day!  


We need your help to bring the benefits of natural light back into people's lives!  Our experienced team has been testing and refining prototypes over the past year and we started producing and shipping our first bottled sunshine lamps in December.  We are seeking more feedback and referrals, and are working to grow our community of early adopters!  Check out our Sunlight Inside website (www.sunlightinside.com) for more details on the products, benefits and science.  Order now to be among the very first to enjoy the benefits of natural light.  Consider giving the gift of natural light to brighten the lives of your friends and loved ones!   Please help us spread the word about the benefits of natural light – email us about our referral program to learn about rewards and discounts!



Sunlight Inside delivers the perfect light for all ages!   Bring bottled sunshine home to brighten your space and lift your mood with extra sunlight during the day.  Relax and connect with candle light in the evenings, and then recover and sleep with fire light at night.   Give natural light to new parents so they can take care of night time feedings and diaper changes without stimulating the baby or the caregiver!   Studies show that sunlight improves concentration in students which makes bottled sunshine the perfect homework light.  Bring natural light to your office to offset those ugly flourescents and boost your productivity.   Use bottled sunshine for extra sunlight to brighten those winter blues.  Give natural light to lift the spirits of an aging loved one who can’t get outside as much as they like.  Don’t settle for artificial light, Sunlight Inside is light the way nature intended!



We’re an experienced team of scientists, engineers and designers dedicated to unlocking the benefits of natural light.  We believe that business should be a force for positive change, and this infuses everything we do.  We believe that every dollar spent and hour worked should help make the world a better place.  Our products are energy efficient and are designed to last over 20+ years - we build them out of glass, metal and wood (almost no plastic).  We source and build our products in California, do our best to pay a living wage, and use sustainable sources wherever possible.  Our goal is to deliver the benefits of natural light to as many people as possible, so we’re pricing our products close our initial costs - we need your help to drive the volumes we need to bring natural light back into more people's lives.  We do not use sales gimmicks, nor are we able to offer aggressive discounts - we treat our customers, employees and suppliers as family - these products are designed to benefit everyone in our community.  Please help us give the gift of natural light this winter!  We've also extended our giving campaign = for every twenty bottled sunshine lamps we sell, we’ll donate one to Hospice.  Your orders and referrals will help us brighten someone’s final days with the gift of natural light!
