The smart
daylight lamp

No, Aryal is a daylight lamp, an air quality monitor, a sleep tracker, a sunrise alarm and a library of guided rituals, all in one, and it comes with you wherever you go.

It wakes you with a sunrise by your bed, then comes with you to work. At your desk it gets enough light to your eyes for your brain to know it’s daytime, adjusting to the light already in your room and how far away you’re sitting, so it never feels harsh. In the evening it eases into a softer glow, with a candlelight mode for dinner.

Along the way, it keeps an eye on the air in your room, from CO₂ to humidity, and lets you know when stuffy air is starting to make you tired. And at night, its built-in radar tracks your sleep, heart rate and breathing without you wearing a thing.

It’s also home to a library of guided rituals that pair light with sound, from breathwork and meditation to a quick reset at your desk or a slow wind-down before bed.

Absolutely, you should! Going outside is one of the best things you can do for your health and wellbeing.

The trouble is, life gets in the way. Most of us are stuck indoors at work, in winter it’s barely light on the way in and dark on the way home, and there’s always something else that needs doing. If you work in an office, spending the whole day outside just isn’t realistic.

Aryal makes sure the hours you do spend indoors still count as daytime.

Because most indoor lighting isn’t built for your body clock. It’s designed to help you see, so by the time it reaches your eyes it’s nowhere near bright enough, and it’s often the wrong kind of light too. Turning more lights on rarely gets you anywhere close to the 250 melanopic EDI your brain needs to know it’s daytime.

We saw this first hand. When we were looking for an office, we measured the light in every one we visited. Only one reached 250, and only at the desks right by the window. A few metres back, it dropped away. In the whole office, about two people were getting the light they need.

See the science

SAD lamps are built on the same science, and a bright session first thing does a good job of setting your body clock. The effects are real. But they’re designed around short, intense sessions, usually half an hour in front of a very bright panel, and that soon becomes a chore.

The expert recommendation is 250 melanopic EDI through the whole day, not just for half an hour in the morning. Aryal is built for that. You set it on your desk and it gets on with it all day, without you having to think about it.

Both. A typical day goes something like this. Aryal wakes you with a sunrise by your bed, where it’s charged overnight. It keeps you company while you make breakfast, then comes with you to work and sits next to your laptop all day. Back home, it switches to a softer glow for the evening, with a candlelight mode for dinner, before heading back to your bedside to charge and track your sleep.
