How Light Bulbs Ruined Our Sleep
Since the invention of the light bulb in 1882, our exposure to light has been completely transformed. We are increasingly underexposed during the day and overexposed in the evening.
But this change is far from trivial: the type of light that falls on our eyes dictates to our brain which hormone to produce: melatonin (sleep hormone) OR cortisol (stress hormone).
Artificial lighting causes a shift with dramatic consequences for our health: it disrupts our sleep, affects our mood and promotes the development of eye diseases such as myopia.

Bringing together Technology, Design and Health
Laqi was born from the ambition to combine my 3 passions into one entity serving a mission: to create optimal lighting .
Automatic , aesthetic and above all respectful of our physiological needs , these are the 3 objectives that I set for myself at the very beginning of this adventure in January 2022.
And after 3 years of hard work, human adventures and technical challenges - we are pleased to be able to present to you today the most beautiful penguin!
Alongside Laqi, I started a YouTube channel in 2023. I share my discoveries about health (diet, breathing, posture, sleep, etc.) by making the link between modern pathologies, history and science .
Find out with the video below why lighting is absolutely essential!
