About Brilli
What are the benefits of Brilli lighting?

Most indoor lighting has one benefit, such as energy efficiency or light quality. In contrast, Brilli’s circadian lighting with patent-pending WellBright Spectrum™, has wellness benefits to help get your sleep-wake cycle in sync, reduce stress,minimize eyestrain, boost your mood, and increase alertness and energy — all without sacrificing light quality or energy efficiency; and Brilli’s antimicrobial lighting has the power to clean and keep your space fresh, while also shining with high-quality LED light.

How long does it take to experience the benefits of Brilli circadian lighting?

Think of Brilli’s circadian wellness lighting like a vitamin that supplements your sun exposure. Some benefits can be felt in just 20 minutes, like increased energy, focus, and relaxation. To balance your circadian rhythm, you'll need to use the light for a few weeks at the correct time of day to sync your sleep-wake cycles.

How long does it take to experience the benefits of Brilli antimicrobial lighting?

Bright Clean can kill* or reduce viruses, bacteria, fungi, mold, mildew in as little as 6 hours and as much as 24 hours. Different microorganisms are impacted by Bright Clean’s 405 nanometer LEDs at different rates.

Who invented Brilli?

Brilli was founded by inventor John Goscha who set out to create a holistic approach to wellness lighting. He recognized that lighting companies had largely ignored the negative impacts of artificial light on healthy living and visual comfort.

Where is Brilli headquartered?

What was the inspiration for Brilli?

We spend up to 90% of our time indoors, and much of this time is spent under artificial light. But what if our lighting could be used to do more; what if it could be used to improve health and wellness? This idea led Brillifounder John Goscha his team of experts in neuroscience and circadian health to invest in wellness lighting research and design, and to leverage the findings of more than 650 studies on the impact of light on human health and well-being.

Brilli Antimicrobial
How are Bright Clean lights different from UV wands and other UV-cleaning items?

Unlike UV light which is dangerous to humans, Brilli Bright Clean is approved for continuous and unlimited use around people, plants, and pets. Bright Clean fixtures shine at a wavelength of 405 nm, initiating a photo-reaction in microbes that kills* viruses, bacteria, mold, yeasts, and fungi.

Is Bright Clean safe?

BrilliBright Clean technology doesn't use ultraviolet (UV) light; so you can use it continuously around your family without worry.

How does Bright Clean work?

conveniently controlled via your phone using the Brilli mobile app, available for free download from the Google Play app store, and Apple app store. Use the Brilli mobile app to create customized cleaning and lighting schedules, adjust brightness of the bulb(s) in Standard White Lighting mode, group multiple fixtures containing Bright Clean light bulbs together, and more.

The smart technology that
controls how Bright Clean light bulbs work, is contained inside the light bulb and controlled via the app, eliminating the need for a separate hub. Like most smart-home devices, Bright Clean should be connected to your home’s Wi-Fi network at the 2.4 GHz frequency. Modern routers are generally “dual-band”, and can simultaneously operate separate Wi-Fi networks on the 5 GHz and 2.4 GHz frequencies without issue.

smart wall switch with Bright Clean light bulbs, we recommend the smart wall
switch by Feit.

“CS”was developed by the Lighting Research Center at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute as a metric to indicate how well one hour of exposure to a lightsource producing a certain level and wavelength of light stimulates the circadian system, based on its ability to suppress the hormone Melatonin.Exposure to a 0.3+ C/S is effective for Melatonin Suppression, which is ideal for day time use. Brilli’s Charge Up light collection is developed for optimum circadian stimulus and perfect for daytime use.

What is Serotonin?
