Overview
Light is the master clock for our bio-rhythms, regulating our energy, mood, sleep, metabolism and overall health and wellness. MySun is the world's first desk lamp to automatically deliver the daily cycles of natural light, helping you see, feel and sleep your best! MySun energizes you during the day by delivering bright beautiful sunlight. MySun naturally relaxes you with sunset in the evenings and then makes sleep easier with candlelight at night. Experience light the way nature intended!

The first desk lamp to deliver natural light!

see better, feel better and sleep easier
experience light the way nature intended

[cheaper than a flight to Hawaii, and lasts longer too!]

mySun delivers healthy light

boost your energy and mood with extra sunlight during the day
relax and connect naturally with beautiful sunsets in the evening
prepare yourself for recovery and sleep with candle light at night

beautiful light = bright naturally balanced spectrum 
healthy light
= color & intensity change with the time of day
a better lamp = built to last using glass, metal and wood 
 


Dr. Mendoza discusses the benefits of natural light for sleep, mood and overall wellness.

 

NEW light engine technology for emulating natural light!

Breakthrough LED light engine technology and custom algorithms actively mix six colors to create beautiful and healthy natural light.  We mix all of the colors of the rainbow to create beautiful balanced spectrum light - just like natural light.  We change the ratio and intensity of colors with the time of day to create healthy light - just like natural light.  Our products use newly developed LED light engine technology and complex algorithms to recreate the daily and seasonal cycles of natural light.  MySun is the ONLY lamp on the market with patented 6 color LED mixing technology to enable the most accurate reproduction of natural light.  Don't settle for artificial light - mySun delivers light the way nature intended!

 

Experience light the way nature intended!

ONLY Sunlight Inside lamps provide a naturally balanced spectrum, which automatically changes with the time of day - just like natural light!   Fluorescents make us look and feel green, while LED lamps make us look blue and keep us awake at night!
 

We are programmed to respond to the cycles of natural light

  • natural light changes color and intensity with the time of day (as well as with the weather, the time of year and place on earth)
  • cycles of natural light drive our daily hormones and circadian rhythms
    (our eyes sense of the time of day by measuring the color and intensity of light)
  • we require regular exposure to natural light to see, feel and sleep our best!

 

mySun automatically delivers cycles of natural light

  • mySun automatically changes color and intensity with the time of day
  • mySun helps synchronize our daily hormones and circadian rhythms
  • mySun supports our energy, mood, metabolism, sleep and general wellness!

 

Artificial light doesn't change with time of day

  • artificial light does not change color and intensity with the time of day
  • artificial light cannot support our daily hormones and circadian rhythms
  • artificial light interferes with our energy, mood, metabolism, and sleep!

 

the science linking light and health



We are programmed to respond to the daily variations of 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 naturally 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. For more on how light impacts our health and wellness check out our science page.  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. Feel better, be more productive, and rest easier with mySun!

Natural light is special

(1) our eyes sense the intensity and color of light to signal the time of day

  • bright cool (high blue content) light signals it's time to be awake and alert
  • soft warm (and no blue content) light signals it's time to relax and sleep

(2) natural light contains a balanced mix of all the colors of the rainbow 

  • we are better able to see fine details and colors with natural light
  • objects and people look their best with a natural balance of colors


Natural light changes color and intensity with the time of day

    Artificial light does NOT change color and intensity with the time of day


    artificial lights are only 'right' twice a day 

    (1) artificial light doesn’t change color with the time of day 

    • insufficient light during the day = no 'awake and alert' signal
    • too much blue at night = blue light interferes with our sleep
    • artificial light disrupts our bio-rhythms (disrupts our circadian rhythms)!

    (2) artificial light doesn't contain a natural balance of colors

    • artificial light makes it difficult to see fine details and colors 
    • objects and people look green under fluorescent, and blue under LED light


     

     

    mySun delivers natural light

     

    please help us bring the benefits of natural light inside!

    We need your help to bring beautiful, healthy natural light to a desk, work space, or favorite reading chair near you.   We believe that natural light is the smartest light - so we have designed a custom controller which we preset to your address before it ships.  You get beautiful, healthy natural light right out of the box – just plug it in, there is nothing to install and nothing to set-up!   Our products come with a simple dimmer/slider, you don’t ever need to connect to a smartphone or wifi router.  Now if you want more control than Mother Nature provides, our products are Bluetooth enabled.  Our iOS Apps provide unlimited control, but remember they are entirely optional - our products deliver natural light right out of the box - just plug them in and enjoy the perfect light at every time of day!

    We've been shipping natural light around the world since December 2016.  Do you know someone who works in a windowless cubicle, or spends their day under fluorescent lights?  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, or do you live in a climate with limited sun?  To read more about how light can help support your mood, productivity and sleep check out our blog. Our mySun and 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 2018 vintage production!
