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.
2025
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.
2015
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.
2025
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.
2024
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.
2023
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).
2021
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.
2019
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.
2018
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.
