Frequently asked questions
What is Lume?
Lume is a sleep-spectrum lamp with light specially tuned for nighttime.
How is it different from ordinary warm light?
Warm describes appearance; spectrum describes composition. Lume is designed from the spectrum up for sleep.
Does it need an app or touch controls?
No. Lume has one physical button on the bottom and USB-C charging. No touch controls, knob, app, or screen.
Should I switch it off at bedtime?
Use Lume while winding down or when you briefly need light at night. Switch it off at bedtime unless a little light is still needed.
Can I read by it?
Lume suits brief reading or settling down, not bright task lighting. Add light for detailed reading or clear visibility around hazards.
Is Lume a medical device?
No. Lume is for nighttime light environments, not diagnosing, treating, or curing insomnia.
What does the research support?
General light research informs design principles, not Lume-specific clinical outcomes. See the evidence.
How does the 21-Day Program relate to Sleep Lab?
It is one method Sleep Lab uses to study everyday nighttime use. Review Program Details.
