Dusk $549

Innerbloom · Bedroom

Dusk

A circadian bedside lamp machined from aluminium billet on a Carrara marble base. Shifts from 6500K at sunrise to barely-there 1800K as your melatonin window opens — without you touching a switch.

How it works

The light that knows
when to leave you alone.

ORB 70% SKY FIELD HORIZON
1
The full face is the light source

Dusk's front face is entirely a luminous aperture — no visible LED, no grid, no hot spot. A soft orb sits 70% down the face height, with a sky gradation above and a horizon glow below. The source appears to originate from within the material. It emits atmosphere, not pixels.

2
The evening wind-down is automatic

From the moment the sun passes its peak, Dusk begins the transition — gradually, continuously, without intervention. By the time you reach for it on your nightstand, the room is already signalling sleep. The melatonin window is already open.

3
Violet-pump removes the evening spike

Standard warm LEDs still contain a 445–465 nm spike that suppresses melatonin even at 1800K. Dusk's violet-pump at 395–415 nm avoids this band entirely. At Sleep Prep mode, the 440–490 nm band is architecturally absent — not dimmed, not filtered out. Not there.

4
The sunrise is real

Dusk seeds its schedule from your location's actual sunrise and sunset times. In the morning it brightens from deep amber to full 6500K daylight — gradually, over the first hour. Cortisol onset. The biological start of day, without an alarm.


Three modes · One night

The bedroom arc,
from sunrise to sleep.

Sunrise window
Sunrise
2200K → 6500K · Gradual brightening

The biological morning signal. Cortisol onset. Brightens gradually from deep amber to full spectrum over the first hour after your local sunrise. Wakes you the way light through a window would — if you had the window.

Evening · Post-sunset
Evening
2700–3500K · Golden amber

Cortisol ramp-down. The warmth deepens as the evening progresses. The room starts signalling rest before you've made a conscious decision to wind down. The shift is slow enough to feel natural, fast enough to matter biologically.

90 min before sleep
Sleep Prep
1800K · Deep amber — near dark

Near-zero melanopsin activation. Barely-there amber light that is present enough to navigate by but absent enough that your melatonin system runs unimpeded. The lamp knows when to get out of the way.


Why Dusk

Not a smart lamp.
A biological signal.

01
The bedroom is where it matters most

The 90 minutes before sleep is the window where light causes the most damage to sleep quality. A phone screen, a ceiling light left on, a standard bedside lamp — all suppress melatonin at the moment you need it most. Dusk is designed specifically for this window, and specifically for this room.

02
Architecture over adjustment

The standard solution is a warm smart bulb. The problem is that warm blue-pump LEDs still emit in the melanopsin band. Dusk's violet-pump architecture removes that band entirely in Sleep Prep mode. There is no melanopsin stimulus because there is no 440–490 nm energy. Not less. None.

03
An object worth keeping

Every SAD lamp and sunrise clock on the market is designed to be hidden away in daylight hours. Dusk is machined aluminium on a honed Carrara marble base. It is designed to sit on your nightstand whether it's on or off — as a considered object in a considered room, not a medical device you tolerate.


Design targets

Purpose-built for
our biology.

These are the performance targets Dusk is engineered to meet. Photometric validation against IES protocol, IEEE 1789, and CIE S026 is underway. We'll publish the full measured data — including raw SPD files — before the first unit ships.

If the numbers don't hold, we'll say so and fix the architecture before taking payments.

Materials

Invoking
elemental wisdom.

01
Machined Aluminium

6061 aluminium billet, CNC-machined. No seams, no welds, no visible fasteners. The body is the thermal system — the outer shell conducts heat through the full 22 mm depth. Starlight anodize: warm silver-beige satin, micro-grain horizontal brush. The same finish as an Oura Ring. The same care.

02
Diffuser Glass

Optically diffused borosilicate glass, flush-set in a machined recess. Milky-translucent, smooth — no texture, no visible source behind it. The light appears to originate from within the material itself. The face is not a screen. It emits a field. What exits the glass is the spectrum that was designed, not diffused through it.

03
Carrara Marble

Turned marble cylinder, 90 mm diameter, honed finish — matte, not polished. Carrara-style white with fine grey veining, low contrast. The weight is deliberate: marble grounds the object, keeps it still on the nightstand, and provides the material counterpoint to aluminium — something older, warmer, geological.


The Innerbloom system
