USER GUIDE

SKYVIEW™2

Be your absolute best with SKYVIEW

Humans are light seekers — we crave natural

light because it’s essential to our health.

The master clock in our brain — also known as

our “circadian cycle” — relies on the rhythm of

outdoor light to reset each day. This clock

coordinates millions of precisely timed tasks

that our bodies need to thrive.

SKYVIEW brings the brilliance of natural light indoors so you

can improve your focus and enhance your performance

while creating happier days and sleepier nights.

you into your day, to start fresh

and renewed

Productive Daytime

Your radiant sky blue light

encourages a positive mood,

improved focus and alertness

Brilliant Sunset

Your sunset light transitions your

mind and body to evening in a

brilliant sunset glow

Comforting Nighttime

Your warm amber light prepares

you for your next day with a

comforting ambiance

Health & Well-Being

There's so much more to outdoor light than color. SkYVIEW was developed by

former NASA engineers and researchers to create happier, healthier days and

sleepier nights.

Note: Humans have a subset of retinal ganglion cells that project to dierent

regions of the brain, including the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) and the

perihabenular necleus (pHb). These cells help drive proper daytime function

such as improved alertness, cognition and mental wellbeing, as well as

strengthen circadian rhythms. Light in the sky blue spectrum has been shown to:

Recommendations for Placement and Use

Get started with SKYVIEW — light as we’re meant to experience it.

SKYVIEW 2 is designed to provide benets in the rooms where you spend most

of your time. For the best eects, SKYVIEW 2 should be positioned at a standard

distance from your face as most table lamps. It is recommended that 3 feet or 0.9

meters from your face on a workstation, bedside stand or table is ideal.

This placement will provide light levels to meet common recommendations for

daytime, evening, and nighttime light exposure to best support physiology, sleep,

and wakefulness.

Additional benets can be had from placing SKYVIEW on a nightstand in your

bedroom. The sunrise provided by SKYVIEW will aid in boosting your morning

awakening response.

SKYVIEW should be used as much as possible on a daily, 24-hour basis to

realize the maximum benets.

5 minutes and as long as 60 minutes. 30 minutes is the default.

Some SKYVIEW users prefer to use their light as a wake-up alarm rather than

their alarm clock for a more natural and happy morning experience.

Sunsets have an additional option to choose from: half sunset or full sunset.

Full Sunset - This is the most similar to natural sunset. Full sunset showcases a

setting sun, followed by skyglow, then after 1 second of complete darkness, it

transitions to evening mode.

Half Sunset - Provides a setting sun, followed by skyglow, and directly transitions

to evening mode. Half sunset foregoes the complete darkness portion of the

sunset and fades directly into evening mode as soon as the sun sets.
