The Blue Light Problem
What your body expects
Our bodies evolved to use sunlight to tell time.
Swipe right →
Natural Daylight
Intensive and blue rich, thats how your body knows its daytime. Blue light keeps us alert and focused.
Sunset
As the sun sets, blue light fades and the body starts winding down. (see Rayleigh Scattering)
Fire
Before electricity, we used fire. Blue-free and sleep friendly.
What we do wrong.
We are exposed to blue light long after sunset. Unknowingly keeping our body in fight or flight mode. Eliminating time for cellular recovery.
What we think is safe
Even ‘warm’ LEDs, like this 2700K, still emit too much blue, for night time use.
Nightshift Display
Even in ‘night mode,’ screens emit enough blue to delay sleep.
vitae
We make products that filter or create light in a way that allows deep restorative sleep.
Company and Mission
For 99.999% of human evolution, blue light was only present during the day. Now, artificial lighting and screens flood our nights, disrupting sleep, focus, and long-term health. We develop light sources that help you realigning your body with the natural rhythm of light.
The Hidden Impact of Blue Light on Your Sleep and Health
- Do you need an alarm (or multiple alarms) to wake up on time?
- Do you rely on caffeine to stay alert during the day?
- Do you sleep longer on weekends than on weekdays?
- Do you find it hard to fall asleep after using your phone or laptop at night?
If you answered “Yes” to even one of these, you are at the right place.
All day light, one bulb.
Wake up refreshed
Rest with intention

The true night shift
All white artificial light sources emit blue and green light. Yes, even the warm whites.
Vitae glasses are the easiest way to block all of them.
Or not all, so you can still see some colour.

What about the moon and stars? Aren't we used to the blue at night?
During a full moon, the typical lunar illuminance is around 0.05 to 0.1 lux, but under exceptional conditions like a supermoon, it can go up to 0.26 - 0.30 lux.
But even such a tiny input drives the monthly cycles of the whole natural world, like animal behavior, plant growth, human sleep and behavior.
For comparison your phone on minimum brightness still shines somewhere around 0.44 lux from about 20cm distance.
So your body likely experiences a supermoon on steroids every single day before you go to sleep.
Will Vitae work in a ceiling light?
In short, no.
Vitae bulbs are designed for local task lamps. You could however, use it in a ceiling lamp in very small bathrooms.
Why is Vitae not a smart app-controlled light bulb?
We believe in simplicity.
If app operated, vitae would no longer be night safe, since it would require phone use and thus possibly exposing you to blue light.
Benefits of the manual approach:
- Ease of use for any age group
- No WiFi - no stand by power usage
- Reliability
