We combine Science, Experience and Art to produce light that simply feels right.

Why does some light feel good – and a lot does not?

We are not scientists. We are cinematographers, colorists and artists. We look at what happens between light and people.

We glance at metrics sometimes, but they don’t guide us. We use the shape of the spectrum as our main compass.

With EiK we mix, stack and de‑organise light. Technically, our LED engine has three uncommon features:

No rigid clusters

We don’t build repetitive RGBLA or RGBWW clusters with equal quantities of each emitter and then “fix” it with DMX or DALI. Instead, we start from what we want in warm light (FLAME), in daylight, and in between – and we distribute the LEDs in a non‑repeating pattern across the PCB. There is no visible grid.

An entropic composition

Our LED placement is intentionally non‑periodic. There is no simple repetition. Like in real life: light from the sun scatters in the sky and clouds, then bounces off buildings, trees, windows, streets, people. It is the mix of all these incidents, reflections and accidents that makes things look real. EiK tries to recreate that kind of richness.

We are not chasing maximum efficiency. We create a welcoming light, under which it feels good to have a cup of tea, read the newspaper, work, or even fall asleep.

Stacked, overlapping spectra

We combine multiple white LEDs that share parts of their spectral power distribution. This smooths out the light and makes it feel more natural. Who puts a warm white inside a daylight blend? EiK. Who puts lime into a FLAME‑like light? EiK. The result is a spectrum that is fuller and softer than a single white channel.

Casambi makes the complexity disappear.

The Casambi hardware, combined with a simple button interface, makes an engine like EiK effortless to use. There may be billions of possible combinations; we curate just a few scenes that matter.

Light is like music – power and silence – and our needs are never the same. They change when you cook for friends, work late, grow older, or just want to be alone. EiK tunes to you, without asking you to become a lighting programmer.

Sound solved this decades ago. You don’t expose oscillators, you expose presets, scenes, moods.

The complexity lives inside the instrument. EIK does the same for light

Design

EiK is quiet Scandinavian design: wood, round, warm, light. When it is on, it feels good. When it is off, it almost disappears. Discreet. Not overwhelming. Not an ego. At your service..

EIK is not a lamp. It’s a spectral light instrument.

Inside, we use 8 independent unique LED channels, blended perceptually, not numerically, to create light that feels natural, cinematic, and biologically relevant.

Outside, buildings see something very simple: on, off, dim, scenes, fully compatible with existing systems like DALI and BMS.

So to the building, EIK looks normal. In reality, it’s playing a spectral composition based on 72 trillion combinations.

Now, an important strategic point:

We do not compete with low-cost, China-based lighting. Those products win on price, but most are designed to last one to three years. They are difficult to service, hard to claim warranty on, and they create massive electronic waste. A product that lasts three years is not sustainable, even if it uses less power. Softlights and EIK come from 25 years of European and Nordic high-end lighting culture. Our products are designed to last 10 years and more. Every component is modular. Everything can be repaired, replaced, or upgraded.

We don’t copy. We invent. We don’t mass-produce cheap. We build tailor-made light instruments. The market is full of cheap light. What it lacks is light with meaning, longevity, and identity. The lighting industry is still using volume knobs. EIK is building the first true hi-fidelity sound engine for light.
