I met Gary through an outdoor fitness group in Boston. He's continuing with the health and wellness theme with his new product, the LifeLight Touch. He's launching it on Amazon after a successful Indiegogo campaign.
If you were thinking of getting the Coelux and got some sticker shock, this lamp may be for you. For all of us who work indoors, LifeLight Touch can make us more energetic and productive. Happy working!

@kunalslab Thanks Kunal for hunting and posting our sunlight delivery system. You've likely seen many products listed as "artificial sun", "light therapy", "full spectrum light", etc.. Unfortunately most don't talk about the science behind the products...frankly, most of these makers either don't know the science or simply haven't built their products to comply with it. The quick summary: Non-visual sensors in the eyes called "Intrinsically Photosensitive Retinal Ganglion Cells" that are laced with a photopigment called "melanopsin" which is particularly responsive to a blue spectrum of light at 480nm or sky blue (not coincidentally the color of a bright sunlit sky) and when exposed to this particular spectrum, triggers and manages a complex sequence of events within all of us that make us feel energized, focused, cognitively sharp, happy and well, among many other things. We are, after all, built to be outside. The LifeLight Touch is unique in that we package that color selected spectrum into a beautiful, flexible and smart desk lamp that you simply place around your workstation, position the light down into your eyes, out of your field of view to eliminate glare, naturally, the way the sun would and feel the energizing benefits of being outdoors while you're at work, no matter what the time, weather, season or location. If you work inside, you need this light to help you perform at your peak each and every day. There is plenty of information about the science but here is a simple paper that speaks about the benefits of "blue" light. http://healthhub.brighamandwomen...

Thanks Kunal for hunting our sunlight delivery system.
The LifeLight Touch is much more than your average "artifical sun" or "light therapy" device. If you're interested in the science, read http://healthhub.brighamandwomen...
Learn how the LifeLight Touch executes on that science. http://www.sunlifelight.com/life...
In short, the lamp:
- Delivers light from above like the sun
- Has an intelligent and learning control
- Can be controlled by a mobile app (early 2017)
We believe we've built a seamless, elegant and cost effective way to eliminate the devastating effects of sunlight deprivation. I look forward to your comments!"
