Lys Technologies
Enabling healthier living with light and making it available for everyone
Founded by an innovation designer and a biomedical engineer, LYS combines a human understanding of good design with evidence-based technology. LYS looks beyond the lifespan of a lightbulb, the aesthetics of a lamp, and the technology of smart lighting. Instead, they focus on what should always come first: people and supporting their healthy livelihood. Lys is here to enable personal light adjusted to people’s inner rhythms and daily routines. Based on the latest research in sleep science, Lys' technology focuses on the most important factor for our sleep-wake cycles. Our exposure to light.
Lys believes that light is vital to people's health and wellbeing — and yet in the modern world light is an overlooked and untapped resource.
