Futurist: “Portable Sunlight”: How Lumos Smart Light Therapy Glasses Are The Future of Health and Wellness
No matter where we all come from, where we live, where we work, or where we’re all going, there is one feeling we are all acutely familiar with: exhaustion. More specifically, the feeling of being physically and even mentally and emotionally exhausted after an egregiously long and difficult day. Those days where you wake up for a dreadfully early 7:00 AM meeting and had tossed and turned all night, unable to reach REM sleep and consistently waking up every couple of hours; so now, throughout the morning you’re running on about five cups of pure caffeine to keep awake through meeting after meeting, and by the time you reach your lunch break you can barely keep your eyes from slipping shut. Then, when the day is finally done, you take a soothing hot shower and wash the day off of yourself, and blissfully climb under the comforting sheets of your bed, take one final scroll through your phone, and coil your body into your favorite position only to find . . . you can’t fall asleep! Your brain is still, unfortunately, wired with thoughts swirling about the events that happened that day.
For many adults, this is an everyday struggle: a lack of gratifying rest, unhealthy sleeping cycles, and a subsequent negative influence on mental health and overall wellbeing. While this issue has been addressed in a couple different psychological techniques, such as reducing your exposure to blue light before bedtime through cutting off contact with your phone earlier in the evening or even adjusting your diet to not eat certain foods before bed and taking shorter naps throughout the day, many find it difficult to incorporate these techniques naturally into their daily lives and make it a positive habit.
The company Lumos sought to make integrating these positive habits easier and accessible, and in July of 2025, Lumos presented its new Smart Light Therapy Glasses. These glasses were designed to be a smart, easy, and discreet way to improve the user’s circadian health (including sleep, focus, and mood). Lumos based its Smart Light Therapy Glasses design on the certified therapeutic technique of light therapy. Through gently exposing the user to blue-enriched white light at specific wavelengths, the Lumos glasses mimic the effects of morning sunlight, and adjust the amount of light the glasses expose the user to based on the amount of surrounding natural light detected by built-in sensors, thereby creating “sunlight built into a pair of glasses” and effectively resetting the user’s natural circadian rhythm.
The Lumos Smart Light Therapy Glasses are the first of their kind in every sense, and although many new technological products make false claims of health benefits, new users don’t have to worry about misinformation with this one, as Lumos backed their product with more than eight years of intensive research and clinical trials to ensure their effectiveness. That is, when you hear claims such as these glasses can make the user have 14% deeper and better quality sleep, 22% sharper focus, and 33% better mood, you can be sure that you will yield the full benefits when you start using the Lumos Glasses.
But surely these glasses aren’t the best option - I mean, who wants to wear clunky, irritating glasses all day long every day? Not to worry, Lumos created their Smart Light Therapy Glasses to be “designed for daily life”, and truly every aspect of their design marks their desirability for easy, daily use. Wearers are instructed to keep the glasses on for merely thirty minutes a day, either during your active hours or at the beginning of your day; so while you’re doing your morning routine, going on a walk, eating breakfast, working, reading or performing any other task during your typical day, the glasses can be effortlessly integrated into your life without getting in the way. The smart glasses also live up to their name by giving you the option of syncing them with your mobile app, so you can schedule sessions to wear them, track your usage, and create a personalized light routine tailored to you and your natural rhythm. And the clunky, conspicuous look to be wary of? The Lumos glasses are physically designed to look like normal glasses: sleek, refined, and stylish, and made with premium materials, so that they are easy to take on and off, adapt to any outfit, and are passable as typical eyewear.
The Lumos Smart Light Therapy Glasses are perfectly wearable and accessible, and after about eight weeks of wearing them for short periods of time during the day, you will experience improved alertness and mood so that you can take on every meeting and project without feeling drained by the end. Plus, when you’re ready to wind down at night? The Lumos smart glasses are still working for you, as they incorporate blue-light blocking technology in their lens to protect you from the negative effects of doom-scrolling, thereby decreasing anxiety, increasing relaxation, and allowing for more satisfying and uninterrupted sleep.
The Lumos Smart Therapy Glasses are available for pre-order now, and include the full package of their light therapy glasses, app access, dedicated support, a 30-day risk-free trial, as well as a 1-year warranty for the moderate price of $320. More information can be found on the Lumos website.
