Have you ever noticed how colors seem to fade as the light dims? How your favorite painting loses its vibrancy in the soft glow of evening, or how that beautifully plated serving looks less appetizing under subdued light? This phenomenon, known as the Hunt effect, is a natural characteristic of human vision that, until now, has not been overcome.
At Lyralux, we’re changing that story.
Founded in 2017, Lyralux emerged from pioneering research at Penn State University with a mission to revolutionize the way we experience light and color. Our patented Dim-to-Vivid® technology doesn’t just illuminate spaces—it brings them to life, preserving the rich tapestry of colors our world has to offer, even in the most intimate lighting conditions.
Imagine a world where the soft, romantic lighting of a candlelit dinner doesn’t compromise the color appearance of your food, surrounding, and even your guest. Picture art galleries where paintings retain their full emotional impact as day fades to night. Envision home environments where every shade and hue remain true, from bright mornings to cozy evenings.
Moreover, Dim-to-Vivid® is the only known lighting technology to allow reduced light levels without sacrificing visual performance, offering a brand-new path towards energy savings, beyond what even traditional LED lighting has been able to offer. By reducing required light levels, Dim-to-Vivid® enabled lighting products will be lower energy and lower glare, with built-in color tunability for both constant-CCT dimming and warm dimming.
This is the world Lyralux is creating.
