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.
