KUMUX is a start-up focused on transferring the properties of natural light into artificial light, to bring the sunlight benefits indoors and enhance people’s health and well-being.
Our team has the light and innovation knowledge to create software that uses existing lighting and control systems in buildings to simulate daylight in a completely automatic way.
KUMUX counts on BeAble Capital, a technology-focused Venture Capital, which supports this project from its origins at the University of Barcelona.
The company is capitalized by ENISA and INNVIERTE, an investment program of CDTI, E.P.E.
OUR VALUES
Health Impact
We work for the most positive impact of light on people's health. We try to reach the largest number of smart buildings possible, with a software solution compatible with any kind of control system
User-Centered
We want users to enjoy the benefits of the right light without any effort or additional knowledge about light. We provide the light that they need for daily activities at any moment, in an automated way.
Planet Commitment
We are concerned about the limited resources of our planet and climate change, and we take action. Consuming only the light that users need, our lighting solutions contribute to energy-saving and decarbonization.
Light Innovation
Our origins are science and research about light and its effects on life. We are constantly updating our algorithm with the latest scientific data and research results about light and wellness.
OUR STORY
Our founders are a team of light lovers at the Department of Electronic and Biomedical Engineering of the University of Barcelona, in continuous research on the best quality light and how to make it available for users.
They decided to combine existing LED technology through software to create artificial light with the sunlight characteristics and benefits, by mixing several light sources.
FLEXILIGHT-UB was the artificial intelligence technology for lighting they developed. It was the origin of our current Spectrum Design Platform and KUMUX foundation, supported by the technology-focused venture capital BeAble Capital.
Enlighting Technologies was founded at University of Barcelona together with BeAble Capital.

KUMUX Awarded the LpS Digital Award for Best Lighting Control Product
KUMUX, the innovative start-up founded by three doctors from the University of Barcelona, has been honored with the prestigious LpS Digital Award 2023...
KUMUX is a company focused on the development of HCL software to transfer the benefits of natural light to artificial light and, thus, improve the quality of artificial light. It originated at the University of Barcelona.
The internet of lights and smart lighting, a new technological revolution
KUMUX has created an algorithm that takes geolocation, the time of day, the day of the year, and the interior space you want to illuminate into account, to give the necessary lighting setting values to the control system to control smart lights to make it as healthy as possible.
UL, Tuya Smart and KUMUX sign a lighting cooperation agreement
UL signed a cooperation agreement with Tuya Smart and European KUMUX company and announced the launch of UL's world's first human-centric lighting market claim verification project.
How does natural light affect our health? Adriá speaks to us about the power of both natural and artificial light and how it can affect our perception of the world around us.
LPS Digital conference Best Paper Award | LED Professional Scientific Award 2020
KUMUX team is honored to be awarded the LED professional Scientific Award 2020 from @Lps Digital! Adria Huguet-Ferran, our Chief Technology Officer, presented: “Facing the Challenges of Spectral Engineering with a New Software Tool”. You can watch the lecture on YouTube.
Custom light recipes to reduce jet lag or admission time in hospitals
KUMUX can mimic the non-visual properties of the sunlight to create a dynamic lighting cycle in indoor spaces all day long, which can produce activation in the morning or relaxation in the evening.
Kumux has launched the 2.0 version of its spectral simulation software, which allows the creation of differential lighting, beneficial to people’s health and plant growth.
KUMUX smart light makes indoor spaces more healthy for people
The spin-off of the University of Barcelona works to achieve an energy-efficient light, thinking about people’s well-being. The venture capital BeAble Capital has continued supporting the project with a capital increase of 450,000€.
