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 create light sources that help you realigning your body with the natural rhythm of light.
Natural vs artificial light
Day
Sunlight is rich in blue wavelengths, keeping us alert and focused.
Evening
As the sun sets, blue light fades, and warm golden hues take over.
Night
After sunset, our ancestors lived by firelight, with little to no blue.
Warm White
Even warm white LEDs still emit too much blue for night time use.
Nightshift
Even on night shift, your phone emits enough blue to signal daytime.
Is Blue Light Affecting 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
Fall asleep naturally
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
