From Lighting Control to Light Design
We dim light. We change color temperature. And we call that Human-Centric Lighting.
But human response to light doesn’t depend on one number like CCT (Correlated Color Temperature).
It depends on the entire spectrum, on cyan, amber, skin tones, circadian and emotional cues.
Today’s industry compresses all of that complexity into what is easy to measure. That’s like controlling music with only volume and bass/treble. The reason hasn’t been lack of science or LEDs. It’s been lack of a light synthesis engine.
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.
EIK is not a lamp. It’s a spectral light instrument.
Inside, we use 6 to 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.
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 sound engine for light.
