What is Speccy?

Speccy is an innovative pendant-shaped light dosimeter that you can wear as a piece of jewelry. Designed to be worn comfortably throughout the day, it continuously monitors the light you’re exposed to, gathering real-time data about the intensity, color temperature, and timing of your light exposure. This wearable device tracks the fluctuations in natural and artificial light to ensure your body’s circadian rhythm stays balanced, promoting better sleep, mood, and overall health.

Speccy works in tandem with a dedicated WebApp that gives you actionable insights into your light exposure, helping you optimize your day for maximum well-being.

Key Features of Speccy:

1. Real-Time Circadian Rhythm Monitoring

Speccy continuously tracks the light levels you’re exposed to, including the brightness, color temperature, and the duration of exposure throughout the day. The device collects data on both natural daylight and artificial light sources, including indoor lighting, screens, and even seasonal variations in daylight.

2. Dedicated WebApp

The Speccy WebApp provides a seamless connection between your device and your smartphone. It offers personalised feedback based on your light exposure patterns, helping you understand how your daily light habits impact your circadian rhythm.

• Track Your Light Exposure: View detailed graphs and reports on your light exposure over time, tracking how it aligns with your body’s natural rhythms.
• Sleep and Mood Insights: Monitor your sleep patterns and mood in relation to your light exposure, helping you identify areas to improve for better rest and mental health.

3. Sleek, Stylish Design

Speccy is designed with both functionality and fashion in mind. The pendant can be worn as a necklace or attached to a keychain, blending seamlessly into your daily life. Its minimalist, elegant design ensures that it fits perfectly into any wardrobe, while the high-tech functionality is hidden beneath the surface, making it a discreet yet powerful tool for improving health.

4. Long Battery Life and Easy Charging

Speccy is equipped with a long-lasting battery, ensuring it stays operational throughout the day and night. It is designed to be worn continuously, providing uninterrupted monitoring without the need for constant recharging. The device charges easily by USB cable, ensuring that it’s always ready when you are.

5. Integration with Smart Building Systems

Speccy is compatible with a range of smart building systems, allowing you to integrate light optimisation features into your broader smart building ecosystem. Sync it with smart lighting systems, thermostats, and other IoT devices to create a fully customised environment that works in harmony with your circadian rhythm.

How Speccy Works:

Speccy uses advanced light sensors to detect the quality and quantity of light you’re exposed to. It measures the following:

• Illuminance (Lux): How bright the light is and how it affects your body’s natural rhythms.
• Melanopic Illuminance (mLux): Light’s impact on the human circadian system, focusing on its influence on the non-visual response of melanopsin-containing retinal cells.
• Color Temperature (Kelvin): The warmth or coolness of the light, which influences alertness, relaxation, and sleep patterns.
• Timing of Exposure: The time of day when you are exposed to different light levels, ensuring you get the proper balance of sunlight and artificial light.
• Full Visible Spectrum

The Science Behind Speccy:

Research has shown that our circadian rhythms, or internal body clocks, are strongly influenced by light exposure. Light tells our brains when to wake up, when to feel alert, and when to sleep. Exposure to the wrong kind of light at the wrong time—such as blue light from screens late at night—can disrupt sleep patterns, mood, and overall health.

Speccy was developed with this science in mind, using state-of-the-art sensors to measure light exposure and provide data that can be used to align your daily routine with your body’s natural rhythms.

Benefits of Using Speccy:

• Better Sleep: By monitoring your light exposure throughout the day, Speccy helps you adjust your lighting to support your sleep-wake cycle, leading to better sleep quality and more restful nights.
• Improved Mood and Mental Health: Consistent and balanced light exposure has been shown to positively impact mood, reduce stress, and enhance focus.
• Enhanced Productivity: Proper lighting conditions can help you feel more energized during the day, improving focus and cognitive function.
• More Efficient Light Use: Speccy helps you make smarter choices about your lighting, ensuring you’re using light efficiently to reduce energy consumption and minimize unnecessary exposure.

Who Can Benefit from Speccy?

• Researchers: A light spectrometer is ideal for circadian rhythm researchers because it accurately measures the spectral composition of light, including wavelengths that affect non-visual pathways like melanopsin activation. This enables precise analysis of light’s influence on biological processes, such as sleep-wake cycles and hormonal regulation, essential for studying circadian health.
• Healthcare Professionals: Speccy is an ideal tool for clinicians and wellness experts who want to track and optimise the light exposure of their patients.
• Smart Building Lighting Companies: Speccy is invaluable for smart building lighting companies as it ensures their products deliver optimal light spectra for both visual comfort and circadian support. By measuring and tuning light’s spectral output, companies can create lighting solutions that enhance occupant well-being, energy efficiency, and regulatory compliance.
• Farmers and Growers: Speccy can also be used in agricultural settings to monitor the light conditions for both workers and plants, ensuring healthy growth in controlled environments.
• Individuals: Whether you’re a student, a busy professional, or someone simply looking to improve your sleep and mood, Speccy helps you take control of your light exposure for better health.

Conclusion:

Speccy represents the future of personal health optimisation through light. This innovative pendant light dosimeter allows you to monitor your circadian rhythm and make real-time adjustments to your environment for improved health, well-being, and productivity. Whether you’re seeking better sleep, more energy, or a deeper connection to the natural world around you, Speccy offers a simple, stylish, and effective solution.
