Asked
often.

Does it actually replace a SAD lamp?

For mild winter dimness, yes — at full brightness a phone delivers about 1,400 lux at arm's length. For clinical SAD, we still recommend a dedicated 10,000-lux lamp; Lumion times the session.

Will it kill my battery?

Sunrise is 28 minutes at incremental brightness, costing ~4% on most phones. Wind-down is free — it actually saves battery by warming the screen.

Is my sleep data uploaded?

No. Sensor data stays on-device. You can opt into a weekly digest emailed to yourself, but nothing leaves your phone unless you ask.

Does it work with my watch?

Apple Watch, Garmin, and Whoop sync. Watch data improves the sleep onset accuracy from 84% to 94.6%.
