BALANCE & COORDINATION

in Older Adults

Sixteen older adults completed a simple motor-coordination task before and after one of four brief light exposures: Luminette visual light, a trans-aural light device, their combination, or placebo. After the visual session, participants completed the task about 10% faster than after placebo. The trans-aural light device did not improve performance, and combining it with visual light did not add benefit. This was a small, single-session pilot, so the effect reflects short-term improvement.

In a pilot with older adults, a single 12-minute session of blue-enriched visual light via Luminette made a motor-coordination task finish ~10% faster vs placebo—suggesting a quick, practical option to temporarily improve motor control.

RETINAL SAFETY

During Light Therapy

In this study, 28 adults with major depressive disorder used either Luminette or a placebo device for 8 weeks. Eye health was checked at baseline, week 4, and week 8 using electroretinography tests.

Results showed no meaningful differences between groups and no changes over time, suggesting Luminette is well tolerated by the retina.

Other health issues

Over 8 weeks in patients with major depressive disorder, Luminette did not alter retinal function compared with placebo on any ERG parameter. These results indicate good retinal safety and eye tolerability of Luminette.

Bright Light Boosts Post-Lunch

FOCUS

This randomized study in 25 healthy adults compared two ways to counter the post-lunch dip: a short nap versus staying awake, and bright light with Luminette versus dim-light control.

After the intervention, Luminette produced the largest reduction in task-switching latency cost (faster switching), while both the nap and Luminette reduced the typical drop in accuracy versus control. Improvements were linked to lower fatigue and more stable vigilance.

Vigilance and focus

After lunch, Luminette improved task-switching speed and vigilance, with benefits comparable to a short nap—offering a practical, alertness-enhancing alternative.

Bright Light Eases

BIPOLAR DEPRESSION

A 10-week study of 34 patients showed that using Luminette glasses daily — whether in the morning or at midday — safely reduces depression symptoms in people with bipolar disorder.

Improvements were clear: depression scores dropped significantly, no matter whether the light was used in the morning or at midday, or for how long the first sessions lasted. Overall daily functioning improved as well, and the few mild side effects that appeared in some participants went away on their own after adjusting the usage.

Post-Night

SHIFT SLEEPINESS

This sleep-lab study followed 21 people working night shifts. They rated sleepiness hourly from 21:00 to 07:30. After a 05:00–05:30 light session, sleepiness continued to drop with Luminette but rose again with the placebo light.

By the end of the night, scores also differed before vs after a sustained-attention test. Comfort ratings favored Luminette, and no negative side effects were reported.

In a study of 21 night-shift workers, early-morning use of Luminette helped keep sleepiness lower for longer than placebo. Participants reported better comfort with no adverse effects.

Light Therapy in

POSTPARTUM INSOMNIA

This three-arm trial enrolled 114 postpartum women with insomnia and compared Luminette (light–dark therapy), CBT, and usual care. Over six weeks, insomnia scores fell more in both Luminette and CBT than in usual care, and the improvements lasted at follow-up. Self-reported sleep disturbance also improved; fatigue improved mainly with CBT. Luminette was generally well tolerated (only a few mild side effects reported).

Sleep/ biorhythms Stress and anxiety

Luminette was found to be as effective as a traditional light box in counteracting the effects of acute sleep deprivation. It improved alertness, attention, and mood during early morning hours.

Nurse Work-Related

STRESS

Eighty-four operating-room nurses completed two four-week periods: one with Luminette and one with no light, separated by a two-week washout. Stress (Nursing Stress Scale) was measured before and after each period. Scores dropped markedly with Luminette (~15–20 points on NSS) but changed little without light (~1–2 points). The pattern repeated in both periods.

In a crossover study of 84 operating-room nurses, four weeks with Luminette reduced perceived nursing stress versus no light across both test periods.

Acute

SLEEP DEPRIVATION

In a lab study, 18 adults stayed awake all night and then received 30 minutes of light at 5:00 a.m. using either Luminette, a light box, or a dim-light control. Sleepiness rose during the night, but after the light session both Luminette and the light box led to lower sleepiness and better attention between 5:00 and 7:00 a.m. By 8:00 a.m. the effect faded (circadian rebound). There were no differences between Luminette and the light box.

ALERTNESS

without stress

Seventeen healthy adults used Luminette or a placebo light for 2 hours in the late evening, before their usual bedtime. With Luminette, the sleep hormone melatonin dropped more, and participants reacted faster on an attention task. Stress (cortisol) didn’t rise, and comfort stayed the same, indicating no added strain.

This study demonstrated that using Luminette effectively boosts alertness while keeping stress levels stable. Researchers observed a significant reduction in melatonin and improved performance in cognitive tasks. Importantly, cortisol levels — a key stress indicator — remained unchanged, confirming that stimulation was achieved without added physiological stress.
